Driver slams bus into cyclist in ‘moment of rage’
A bus driver in the UK has been jailed after he slammed his vehicle into a cyclist in an act of road rage.
The driver, Gavin Hill, 29, was jailed for 17 months by a British court this week after pleading guilty to dangerous driving and causing grievous bodily harm.
Hill, who has been a bus driver for 10 years, told the court that his actions were a ‘moment of madness’.
The court heard that Hill had argued with the cyclist, Phillip Mead, who accused the driver of passing him too close.
What followed on April 5, 2011, was captured on CCTV in the British city of Bristol.
Mead, 43, can be seen cycling along the road, when suddenly the bus next to him swerves violently into his side, knocking the cyclist flying across the ground.
It is understood Mead suffered a broken leg, fractured wrist and thumb, but is expected to make a full recovery.
As well as his sentence, Hill has also been sacked from his job and was disqualified from driving for two-and-a-half years.

And hassan1024 yes I was being sarcastic ;-)
I can keep going if you like. There is loads more news I can C&P from the UK. And when I have finished C&P from the UK news, I can move on to the rest of Europe.
Cyclists can be a real pain :o(
Here is some more irrelevant news from the UK:-
Newport fatal road incident police appeal
Police are appealing for witnesses following a fatal road crash near Newport.
A man driving a Green Renault Megane died in hospital following the incident on the southbound A467 between Rogerstone and Bassaleg.
The road was closed for five hours following the collision at around 13:25 GMT on Saturday while specialist officers investigated.
The man was taken Royal Gwent Hospital where he was later pronounced dead.
Anyone with any information is asked to contact Gwent Police by dialing 101.
I don't care. What has this got to do with living in Qatar?
Who knows same cyclist gave him hard time on the previous day or another cyclist same day some time back & bus driver took all the blame on himself , we are not sure. Remember, two persons are involved, someone might has done some thing to bus driver in the recent past. He was good fellow for his employer / cyclists before that incident !!!
@n77, I hope you're being sarcastic! Some bus and pickup drivers would lay Landcruiser drivers to shame with their antics.
every bus driver in the UK are bad .... unlike the bus drivers in Qatar ....
Lets try to forgive for small mistakes, give another chance to improve..
What led Gaven Hill to that moment ?
Wish both of them Good Luck & Good health !!
