I think the "I didn't see him" defense is out the window.
I agree with livedarklions - no matter what caused the confrontation, attempting to run over a cyclist with your Jaguar is a no-no. Of course, the driver probably has enough money to replace the bike, once he gets out of jail.
The article indicated the driver was paying for the bike, the cyclist was unhurt and there would be no criminal charges. I don't think this would be handled this way in the US.
