On Sunday 30th November at around 08.30 a group of cyclists were riding down the A379 from Dawlish towards Dawlish Warren.

The vehicle then stopped in the road, forcing the cyclist to brake and stop. The male driver of the vehicle became verbally abusive accusing the cyclist of taking up all of the road. The offending vehicle then drove off. A few… minutes later further along the road by the humps past the junction of Week Lane, the cyclist came across the vehicle again, which had stopped in the road. The cyclist stopped beside the vehicle and asked the driver what his problem was. The driver relplied with “F*****g cyclists”, flung his door open and said “do you want to have a go”? he then spat on the cyclist which landed on his shoulder and leg. the driver then called the cyclist “a piece of s**t” then drove off.
