A cyclist who appeared to try to get intentionally run over in Nottingham received a very British response.<br /><br />Dash-cam footage from April 2 shows a man on a mountain bike in the middle of a poorly-lit road in the English city.<br /><br />As the car approaches, he throws himself to the ground and clutches his head as if in pain.<br /><br />Car passenger Jack Campion can be heard saying in the video: “Excuse me, we’ve got a dash cam, so you might want to get going.”<br /><br />The irate cyclist then appears to get angry and yells at someone on the side of the road, apparently an accomplice.<br /><br />Speaking to Newsflare, driver Elizabeth Aspey said: “We were on our way home from Nottingham to Stoke at about 8.30pm, I think. I thought he was just being an idiot in the middle of the road with his bike so I slowed down but then he threw himself on the floor! We had seen a similar video before so I think we both knew what was going on. <br /><br />“It was just so bizarre because I just felt like things like this don’t happen to us! I just count myself lucky that I wasn’t alone and that I had the dash cam to film it all.”<br /><br />Campion said: “When he threw himself to the floor, I remember thinking: ‘I can't believe this is happening.’ I just never though it was a situation which I would ever find myself in.<br /><br />“I hope that people see this and become a little more vigilant about this kind of thing. It needs all of the awareness it can get.”<br /><br />Elizabeth’s father and Newsflare member Dave Reeves, who uploaded the video with Elizabeth’s permission, said: “We're assuming that it was going to be an insurance scam of some sort.”<br /><br />The incident took place off the Clinton Boulevard section of the A52 in Nottingham, when the driver was heading towards Stoke.
