Anyone know this idiot motorcyclist?

[Roadrider48]

I have no sympathy for him either but I'd rather not see him wriggle out of court action and a stiff penalty because internet vigilantes handed him a get out of jail card.
He needs to have his licence removed and his subsequent insurance premiums substantially increased as a result.

I take your point and you are right. I'm just a bit "old school" an eye for an eye and all that.

While I'm against vigilantism, do we have a choice? From the road.cc site

Apparently police don't act if they don't get enough "likes".

That's the thing isn't it? You just know that the police will do nothing.

Well he hasn't found the copy I put on facebook yet. OR that a friend of mine shared...

Damn he's had the one I linked to in FB and Twitter taken down. I'll have to relink to the Vimeo one

Yeah, same here. Can't view it.

 

[stowie]

Yeah, same here. Can't view it.

This is due to my general incompetence at social media rather than anything else. I accidently put it to private. Should work now.

 

[TwickenhamCyclist]

Its all over YT and the web - no getting rid of it...

 

[jonny jeez]

See also the US Coastguard and British/US airforces, get enough twitter retweets and we'll do something about it.

On a generally related note..Social Media is fast becoming the referendum of the people. In addition to cases like the lost Yaughtsmen, take a look at the happenings in Egypt in 2011...powerful stuff this forum thing

[QUOTE 3094772, member: 45"]Can we talk about the police officer for a minute? Walking around in a coat too big for her and her hands up her sleeves, like she's off on her first day at big school. Is this allowed? Is it the representation of authority that we really want? And then, what's happened to her training? Gathering evidence or just allowing herself to go off on a tangent that the paternal representative on the motorbike was pushing on to her?

I hope she has a good supervision session from this.[/QUOTE]
Her superiors will probably say that she acted in a professional manner and handled the situation very well.
Purely because cyclists get treated like shite in situations like this.
That was a huge coat though!

Got to agree - it will be part of the "how to deal with scumbag deviant cyclists and always side with the motorist" seminar this time next week

I don't know, but working her patch there is a chance she is on Diplomatic or Royalty protection. Could this mean her jacket is Kevlar protection and as such meant to cover a larger area.
