Anyone know this idiot motorcyclist?

I think it's laughable that he's now trying to stop the video getting out. I've stuck it up on Facebook and Twitter just to make sure it stays alive for a bit.

High-viz wasn't much help then!

Thank you. I think that any lawyer would use the mobile phone evidence in mitigation.

Useful for the motorcyclist if he was aiming for it.

They would, but they shouldn't.

That still shot shows just how close he was to the taxi as well.
My favourite quote was when he said, "How can I be undertaking you when you are on the wrong side of the road!"

I know you are not stating this - even if the Cyclist was completely in the wrong and/or acting illegally (which he isn't) it STILL wouldn't be right to deliberately ride a machine into him... hopefully a judge/jury wouldn't listen to a lawyer attempting to use the victims perceived poor behavior as mitigation to commit a crime

Very true, but it would get taken into account. Along with the bikers long association with local charity and his unblemished record.... Well that's what the lawyer is going to say.

I recently was a witness for a friend. He was the accused. After the defence lawyer had finished I had to ask "Who is the lawyer talking about? It's not my friend is it?"

One would hope so, but I don't think that would stop a lawyer, if this goes to court I expect motor cyclist will be desperate for any defence he can muster. Anyway this pure speculation on my part.

I wonder if the cyclist is aware of all the Internet interest this incident has caused?

Now there is a question. If he still thinks it was his fault .. Can the Biker be prosecuted if there is no complaint?

He's going to be very busy tracking down and deleting every instance of it. It must be the internet version of Whack-a-Mole!
