OP, we received a report on this post asking that it be tagged with a warning for violence. Could you do so (or mark it NSFW), please?

There's no reason why this person should ever be allowed to drive again.
Or walk really.. Put the criminal behind bars
I'm fine with them being a pedestrian after having served their time.
The ban on driving does not have to end, though. It can be permanent.
Bruh he was a temporary pedestrian when he grabbed the cyclist by the neck and threw him onto the road.
Jail time! I hope the cyclist is OK, that looks like brain trauma.
They were severely, permanently injured, and the violent idiot had been charged.
The assailant should have their life ruined. Certainly lose their car and license.
The other person who just watched and walked away should suffer, too.

Well, by reading the article I learned he was arrested years ago. I'm not certain we need to hunt him down.
Years ago? I hope he's been sentenced to a good long time as well as significant damages to his victim.
What the fuck.
Any follow up on this?
Mr Brown smashed his head off the road and suffered serious head injuries including a fractured skull and bleeding on the brain. Cowardly Hedley then left the 34-year-old cyclist lying unconscious in the middle of the road before getting back into his car and driving off.
Hedley, from Kirkcaldy, Fife, subsequently found out police had put out an appeal to find the motorist involved and he handed himself into a local station two days later. Hedley pleaded guilty to assaulting Mr Brown to his severe injury, permanent impairment and to the danger of his life when he appeared at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Tuesday, September 22.

Shit, thatβs a really bad outcome for the cyclist! Poor dude
Mate of mine died like that. Skull is very thin at the back of the head
Hits on the head are a roll of the dice: nothing, concussions, death are all optionsβ¦
"Permanent impairment" from a violent assault, huh? What's a good punishment for that?
That cyclist will be affected for his entire life. I feel like the assailant should also be affected for his entire life.
I hope Joseph pays all of Iain's medical bills and living costs for the rest of his life.
This is the UK, there aren't any medical bills. He should and likely will be made to lay for loss of earnings and any additional support he might need.
If you see someone who is bigger than you get out of their car, while you are already in a heated exchange, have some self-preservation in you to be able to react in a way that this mentally unwell piece of shit can't just grab you by the neck and slam you down. Get ready to fight, or please just leave the scene as quickly and safely as you can.
I don't blame the biker. All around the world "people" are becoming more and more like animals. Acknowledge this, and prepare yourself for anything these animals might do. :-/
American here. I ride with a gun. Seriously.
I fucking hate it, but people like this are everywhere and nobody's helping a cyclist.
Actually, Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. Iβm from Texas. I once witnessed a guy who took a lady cyclist right of way, nothing much you may say, but I got my gun out and shot a hole in the carβs motor the size of a bowling ball. An eye for an eye, thought him a lesson I tell you. Alas, this altercation was witnessed by the police, and I was arrested for aggravated assault. Seems the female cyclist didnβt have the right of way after all. I write these lines from prison, but I would still vote for Trump in the next election.
Then everyone clapped.
Hilarious.
My decision to ride armed was finalized after being followed for 5+ miles by a jeep full of large dudes yelling physical threats at me for riding a bicycle.
I had to hide under a bridge until they got tired of looking for me. Lovely story though.
And if that driver also rode with a gun?
Then you get your gun a gun, I think. I don't know, I'm European.
That man needs to go to gaol, and when he gets out he needs to never be allowed behind the wheel of a car again.
I'm afraid i'm absolutely addicted to driving accident videos. I think it's because there's the sense that seeing them will make you better at not making the same mistakes
EDIT: This was not one such driving video :(
