YouTuber Michael Van Erp told a jury he fell on to Paul Lyon-Maris's car 'like a crash test dummy'.
A theatrical agent who drove for 65ft with a cycling activist on the bonnet of his car has been cleared of assault and dangerous driving.
Prosecution lawyer James Dean told Southwark Crown Court that Mr Lyon-Maris, 60, used his Range Rover "as a weapon" in an act of "road rage" during rush hour in September 2021. But the jury acquitted Mr Lyon-Maris, from Belsize Park in north-west London, of dangerous driving and common assault. The judge, Recorder Jonathan Bellamy, said: "I wish Mr Lyon-Maris luck in his profession and elsewhere."Mr Van Erp, who works as a carer, told how he gained "notoriety" after broadcaster Jeremy Vine retweeted one of his videos of him on the bonnet of a silver Mercedes on the same stretch of road.
