Road rage nutter spared jail
 

One can almost understand a driver attacking a cyclist out on the road, but
two days later in a cafe? This bonehead should have been caged - he'd
already had previous.

"He approached the complainant and grabbed him by the right arm before
punching him to the top of his head with a clenched fist."

If only the cyclist had been wearing a helmet.............. :-)

He was a pedestrian in the cafe, so you advocate helmet wearing
amongst pedestrians as well?

In your first post it suited you to call him a driver, and now in this one
it suits you to say he's a pedestrian.
I do detect similar "tailoring of the truth" in most of your rants, which
severely dents any credibility you might have.

What the hell is the point of a suspended sentence if even this kind
of thuggery doesn't activate it?

ISTM the judge is in contempt of the court that made the previous
conviction.

We were all just waiting for just such a pearl-encrusted jewel of wisdom from
you; and you haven't disappointed us.

How long before you report that judge to the LCD (or is it the more
Orwellian-sounding "Ministry of Justice" these days)?

You'll probably get a write up in The Times Law Reports.

We really *are* privileged to get your opinions for nothing. Anyone else of
your calibre would charge 1500 guineas minimum.

=====Quote=====
Mr Croll suffered cuts and bruises to his head, wrist and back.

=====Quote=====
Bailey, of Everett Street, Hartlepool, pleaded guilty to common
assault and criminal damage.
=====/Quote=====

Cuts and bruises sound like assault causing actual bodily harm.

However, £400 compensation and 190 hours unpaid labour may just be
more effective than prison.

I wonder if the victim and culprit had been brought together with a
suitably qualified mediator they could have come to a similar
agreement as an alternative to expensive court proceedings.

You own me a cup of coffee and a new keyboard. Your legal mind is
something out of this World.

Yeeeeees - another Anchor Lee legal pronouncement to join the following:


If you find 2 abreast cyclists more obstructive than single file ones, you must
have been intending to pass dangerously close anyway.
(Anchor Lee)

If you claim to be held up by a cyclist, you are admitting to dangerous
driving, since the only way you could be held up is if your intention was to
pass dangerously close.
(Anchor Lee)

Commenting on a legal gate in a public park: I'd think it comes under the
heading of "causing an obstruction", and should be investigated by the police
as such.
(Anchor Lee)

If Traffic Lights are not working, then you can telephone the police for
permission to proceed.
If this is not forthcoming, then you can reports it as "unlawful detention".
(Anchor Lee)

The police have clearly not been persuaded by the Law Lords, and still
try to treat the procession as unlawful. In this they are now equally
clearly in contempt of court. (Anchor Lee)

It could usefilly sic be pointed out to motorists that if they are within
range of a swung D lock, they are too close, and could be held liable
for any collision (including with the D lock).

If you are watching your kids in the rear view mirror, you are not
driving safely or legally.

If the *******s won't do anything about the taxi driver risking
people's lives by dangerous driving, book him to take your kids on a
trip, then report him for kiddy-fiddling. He'll never drive a taxi
again.

You seem to have a puncture in your sense of humour tube.
