Driver who told cyclist “I’m going to kill you” before ramming him with car jailed Judge told Bradley Harris he had carried out an “appalling piece of deliberate dangerous driving” when he knocked Michael Edge off his bike cycling
A driver who told a cyclist “I’m going to kill you” before ramming him with his car has been jailed for 10 months after being found guilty of dangerous driving.
Phil Clemo, prosecuting, said that Mr Edge thought that Harris, who was driving an Audi A3, would slow down so they could get past each other, but when he didn’t, the cyclist moved into a layby to enable the driver to pass him.CCTV images showed the driver reversing down the High Street “at speed” then making a three-point turn and driving after Mr Edge.
When interviewed by police, however, Harris tried to claim that it was the cyclist who had instigated the confrontation, and denied that he had caused his injuries, insisting the exchange had been purely verbal. He added that his client was well aware of the potential effects of dangerous driving, having lost his father in a road traffic collision when he was a child.
