I was coming down through Dumbiedykes approaching the pinch point junction at the entrance to the NCP car park (near Moray House). two cyclists coming up the hill, a car waiting to turn right (probably in to the carpark). I stop in the right hand lane as I am turning right and I am waiting for the bikes to come up the slope and indeed the car to turn.
The driver clocks me stopping then turns right hitting the young irish woman's fron wheel (nice light blue pashley with the white tyres). Cyclist behind the woman is eastern european chap though he can swear good in English. [He is not connected to the woman and frankly made the situation worse by not calming down and not stopping swearing - gave the driver an excuse to also be radge which he did very well ].
THe woman is OK. THe other cyclist (the guy) and the driver who seems to be an employee of KFC proceed to have a very loud argument.
I ensure the woman has my details as witness, the number plate of the car and all her belongings. She is in shock but coming out of it. She is swithering about reporting to police as she is laid back and her previous accident where a taxi hit her and just drove off is something she sees as far worse than this one).
I manage to separate the two males, the cyclist goes on his way. Still effing and jeffing. KFC man (he has a dress shirt in black and white check but with the KFC logo stitched on the breast) then says I should keep my pal in check. I say - I don't know him but I witnessed your driving and you were 100% wrong. He makes no comment. He drives away to the car park. I check woman is still ok, she is and she cycles off. I head to work.
I guess I could report it too as I have the reg too but I am not thinking I will.
I am not sure the woman will report it but I encouraged her to do so.
