The driver and passenger of a car in Dunedin both face
charges after the passenger slapped a bicycle.
Constable Jon Dunn, of Dunedin, said a 17-year-old male
passenger in a car slapped a cyclist's bike on Main South Rd,
in Sunnyvale, last night.
The 16-year-old driver had swerved so the passenger could hit
the bicycle.
The cyclist was put off balance and nearly fell, Const Dunn
said.
A motorist driving ahead of the car saw the incident and made
the teenagers stop the car, took the keys and called police.
The passenger was charged with assault and the driver with
careless driving, he said.
