Anyone know this idiot motorcyclist?

I was starting to feel a bit sorry for Alex / Alexander Mitchell, the Duccati owning Graphic Designer.

But I hadn't watched the video with sound because I was at work.

What sort of person asks, after knocking someone off their bike - "What the hell were you doing on your phone?" before "Are you ok?"

[QUOTE 3094175, member: 30090"]Ha ha.

Me thinks he does not own the freehold to the flat and maybe rents? If so then it should be in the lease or management agreement that you can't operate a business from the home address.

Anybody want to try and find out who the freeholder/managing agent is and possibly make the guy homeless?[/QUOTE]

Not really. What positive outcome would that achieve?

 

[Boo]

Let's just hope that plastering his personal details all over the interweb doesn't compromise any potential investigation, eh?

Because he was only interested in them being on their phone.

At the exact moment Alexander Philip Harvey Mitchell realised with a chilling dread that he had accidentally boasted on the internet about hurting people I imagine the camera dollied in and zoomed out at the same time like off Jaws:

I bet Alexander Philip Harvey Mitchell's sphincter puckered up like a choked chicken, it's possible his balls retracted, and it was such an easy mistake! Film yourself deliberately driving into vulnerable road users and post the footage on the net, I mean, what could go wrong?

No, I wasn't suggesting that. Knowing the name of his company, you can just tap into one of the many free online company data bases which mine information posted as a legal requirement at Companies House. They give the full name of the directors and the registered office of the company.
Anybody can put their home address as the registered office of their company.

[QUOTE 3094202, member: 30090"]You're right, they can. But you can very seldom do it for a leasehold flat or a place that you rent as more often then not it goes against the terms of the lease. Most SME's have their accountants as the registered address.[/QUOTE]
Fair enough but it's not a big deal. It's gone far enough. I don't want him made homeless. He has plenty to reflect on right now. If any good comes out of this it will be that people realise that being a prat and posting your idiocy on social media can come at a high price.

If I was a graphic designer called Alex I would describe myself like this "

Senior Creative, passionate about developing powerful brand experiences. Inquisitive and imaginative; creativity is part of my DNA. An integral component of any creative team, sharing ideas and solving problems. Accomplished communicator with the ability to inspire others.

Contributing extensively to strategic and creative concepts established for each project, challenging and evolving where appropriate. Self-motivated, client-focused with advanced design software knowledge, able to bring jobs in with flair, on time and within budget."

Exactly.

The sad part is that it's only a rare double-prat who deliberately knocks people off their bikes and posts their own incriminating video on the internet that we know about.

The more common single-prat who does stupid and dangerous things but doesn't film it and post it online will continue as before.

Agreed - I don't think it's necessary for CycleChatters to dig into (or reveal) any of his personal details - we can leave that to the respective authorities; I'm sure they'll know where to find him.

He doesn't seem to be an "accomplished communicator" at present.

Edit: actually, he seems to have been quite good at his "ability to inspire others".
