Hit and run cyclist

Yeah I completely agree with you there, I just hate reading about incidents like this because it's numpty cyclists like that that will make it necessary to have some sort of licence/insurance scheme compulsory for cyclists in an attempt to keep people like this off the road, and none of us want that.

Can we please not get carried away about the very small degree of road danger presented by users of pedal cycles?

This is a regrettable incident as the cyclist put himself in the wrong twice. However, such incidents are vanishingly rare and there is certainly no prospect of them ever causing any kind of licensing scheme for cyclists, which would at any rate be unworkable. (This comes up every few years, by the way. It's one of the most regularly annoying old chestnuts.)
