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. http://www.hartlepoolmail.co.uk/news...jail_1_3706386 -- Simon Mason http://www.simonmason.karoo.net/ |

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. -- Simon Mason |

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. |

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. |

ISTM the judge is in contempt of the court that made the previous conviction. 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. Phil W Lee 6 February 2011 |
