Hopefully the driver will appreciate in future that a cyclist waving him past is only trying to help. </p> <p>I'm glad that the cyclist brought charges as the assault I saw was really nasty. I didn't witness the brake check but I was almost run over by the driver as he left. </p> <p>For the record the guilty party was James Fergus Wemyss Muir. </p>
