...Obviously in this instance the driver cannot do anything about it now - not even sure what they could have done anyway. ....
I don't get your objective in starting the thread?
It is a good question.
If a cyclist damages a car, what are the car drivers options?
Same options as if a pedestrian damages a car, by breaking a wing mirror or pushing their buggy or delivery trolley into the car.
Or a car driver scratching your parked car and driving off .

Not really. Car driver has insurance and a number plate and other details that you can get to identity them. Other road users, like pedestrians, cyclists don't.

What are those options?
None - unless they leave a note with contact details and offer to pay for the damage.
You, and W, are making extraordinary assumptions of an anti-cyclist sentiment on my part.
You and W should be very careful about the assumptions you make.
Extraordinary statement to make in the circumstances . You have already admitterd that you assumed that the cyclist was the OP inthe first place which was absolutely the wrong . Now you accuse others of jumping to conclusions.
Kettle , Pot , Black etc
Anyway, Brendan has admitted he was wrong. Your turn Kettle, or is there some other reason you seem to be going on the attack here?
Yes indeed Mr Burgess has admitted that he was incorrect and I thank him for graciously admitting that.
In fact I had just read his explanation and was on the point of replying and thanking him until I read a subsequent comment from him accusing myself and another poster of jumping to conclusions and warning of the dangers of doing so. (Did you read that one Leo) That was the context in which I last posted.
If I originally jumped to a conclusion of anti-cyclist bias on the part of Mr Burgess then I apologise but it was based on his outright condemnation of the cyclist involved.
cyclists seem to be a law on to themselves...a friend of mine who was stopped at lights when a cyclist ran into the back of him..who then claimed and got 10 000 punts at the time,i kid you not
Pat
