The van driver's attitude does make him come across as an idiot who shouldn't allowed behind the wheel. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20687#post-353687 Sun, 15 Aug 2021 14:11:07 +0000 14Westfield 353687@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I think this incident was mentioned by Boff on the bad drivers thread- they had to use thier vehicle to stop the drivist buffering off.</p> <p>The video is pretty shocking, that guy had no intention of taking any responsibility. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20687#post-353686 Sun, 15 Aug 2021 13:59:54 +0000 Stickman 353686@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Edinburgh/comments/p4sqfg/road_accident_witnesses_wanted_12aug_1pm_white/" rel="nofollow">https://www.reddit.com/r/Edinburgh/comments/p4sqfg/road_accident_witnesses_wanted_12aug_1pm_white/</a></p> <p><blockquote> If you were a witness of the accident that occurred on the 12-Aug at around 1:08pm, involving a white van hitting a cyclist and attempting to run away from the scene, please contact me at 07999 779 257.</p> <p>If not for the pedestrians that got involved there are good chances that the driver would have manged to get away from the accident scene.
