I've seen a cyclist's helmet cam video that was used by someone to catch a careless car driver

- the car did not yield in a crossing though it had a "yield" triangle

- the cyclist had to break hard and went over the bar; the car drove away

- cyclist made a crime report at police and gave video as evidence

- car driver was fined for negligence

negligence, wow, hit and run is a crime
"Went over the bar" doesn't mean a collision. It just means the cyclist went over his handlebar.
Right. There was no collision, the cyclist fell because he had to break hard to avoid it, but the car driver did not even notice what happened. The license plate number was visible in the video.
