Dave Sherry says lorry driver who hit him left the country and won't face justice

There is a way to deal with police who botch reports from cyclists: http://willcycle.blogspot.co.uk/2017/12/when-police-fail-you.html

Sounds like they couldn't be bothered. They could at least revoke his right to come back into the UK.

"he can't be interviewed again for the same crime now so they've made a farce of it"

rubbish... he hasn't been charged... doesn't stop them from dragging him in again for further interviews

Don’t we have a European Arrest Warrant? 

The only difference between the police and criminals is a uniform.

Its about time we (the public) started to question what the Police actually do for the money we pay them.

The police can't get their story straight. They claim the driver was interviewed and that he denied any knowledge of the collision. Denying knowledge of something is no the same as denying it happened. Given the relative mass of the lorry compared to the cyclist, I'd be very surprised if he'd have felt anything even in a head-on collision, let alone having clipped struck the cyclist with the rear of his vehicle. Of course, any safe competent driver would have been using his mirrors during the overtake and so would have been in a position to see what happened, but then a safe and competent driver wouldn't have attempted the manoeuvre in the first place.

Yet the police go on to say that it wasn't possible to establish how the collision occurred based on the footage and conflicting accounts. Firstly the video shows how the collision occurred. Secondly, if the driver didn't even know he had clipped hit the cyclist, how could he offer a conflicting account of how he clipped hit the cyclist?

Please explain how the police cannot see the elephant in the room.

Quote, The driver was interviewed and denied any knowledge of the collision.

“Officers reviewed camera footage, which showed there had been a collision. But it was not possible to establish how it occurred based on the footage and conflicting accounts.

Driver had no knowledge of incident but gave a conflicting statement!!!!

And you can drive on the M6 with no brakes and not get arrested.

Why is there such disparity between police forces approach to these dangerous drivers?

Obviously the cyclist moved right and hit the lorry. It's the only explanation!

"clipped the rider" with a forty tonne HGV... You're right, Mr Police Spokesperson: what harm could *possibly* come of that?

what does clipped mean ???? please someone enlighten me. 

is it legal to clip a cyclist.I think it might be.

So the police yet again bend the application of the law/don't apply the law, it's basically we'll only do it when we can be bothered and ignore what it actually says in LAW and instatute.

Bunch of fucking cretinous cunts, I hope DS makes a complaint to IPCC

Looks fairly clear what happened to me, what more do they need?

Perhaps this is one instance where a stated minimum safe passing distance would have helped bring a prosecution, as surely that can be determined from the footage.

Literally unbelievable....

"knocked me off my bike. I honestly thought I was going to die" Quote from the cyclist.

"clipped the rider" Quote from the spokesperson representing the Essex police.

????????????????????????

“Officers reviewed camera footage, which showed there had been a collision. But it was not possible to establish how it occurred based on the footage and conflicting accounts."

I'm baffled.  There is nothing at all unclear about what happened or how.
