The incident last Wednesday, which involved a white Ford Transit van and a Vauxhall Mokka car, occurred at the junction for Redbridge Hill and Romsey Road around 7.20pm. It was reported the van had failed to stop at the scene.

A woman in the Vauxhall Mokka reported minor injuries following the collision. Following initial enquiries, a 32-year-old man from Southampton was arrested on suspicion of drink driving, failing to report an accident, using a vehicle without third

party insurance, driving without a licence [ie, being nothing but a chav-cyclist - Ed.], driving without due care and attention and common assault of an emergency worker. He has been released on bail while our enquiries continue.

A police statement said: “As part of our enquiries, we are keen to speak with anyone who saw the collision, or who saw the vehicles in the lead up to the incident. We know there was an event taking place at Redbridge Fire Station, which the van would

have passed.”

No mention whatsoever of a chav on a bike (or of his chav-bike).

Well, not except for the unlicenced, uninsured, drunk, fully-unqualified chav-cyclist at the centre of the incident.

That could be argued to render the post on-topic, I suppose.
