I'd never have thought I would be praising Hampshire Police on the Internet, but the old bill
deserve praise for treating this incident the way they have.
Its good though that even though the cyclist *wasn't* badly hurt (in itself a good thing given the
appalling circumstances of this RTC) the cops took this incident *very* seriously.
Just look at the charge the offender has been nicked on, she will almost undoubtedly spend the
entire weekend in the cells. Of course I guess the charge will go down to dangerous driving when it
comes to Court, but it will hopefully come as a great shock and traumatic experience for a middle
aged woman to end up in the Police cells even if it is for the weekend, and it may make her think
when she next drives (which will hopefully not be until after a substantial ban and re-test)
I wonder if the arresting officer is a cyclist
(Actually I thnk hantspol also use cops on bikes
quite often)
Of course if *you* were in Andover at that time, firstly please accept my commiserations, and
secondly please pass any relavant info on to Hanstpol or on 0800 555 111
