I thought it was a video of you being rammed, the text does not make it clear that you are filming someone else and then get rammed (not in shot at all) I had assumed (as most people would )that the cycle in front of the taxi is you and is the one that is rammed) So there is no evidence on video at all that anyone was 'rammed'. Glad that is cleared up. |
