Anyone know this idiot motorcyclist?

[Rouge79]

The cyclist was riding in a straight line!!! The twat tried to get thru a non existent gap and some may say tried to teach him a lesson by frightening him and/or knocking him off.

The Police officer should be ashamed!!! Tunnel vision when it came to the cyclist and mobile phone!!!

The face that policewoman is pulling on the preview/still the video displays is hilarious

I found her demeanor all the way through the video very strange. She must only be about fourteen but comes across as a very stern nursery teacher, rather than a police officer.
Something not quite right about it that made me wonder if she was actually a police officer and not some wierdo dressed up as one for kicks and giggles.

Can we get this out of the way once and for all. Whether you agree with it or not. There is no law prohibiting the use of mobile phones whilst cycling. If you don't agree with that then go ahead and lobby for a change in the law. But until then its a perfectly legal thing to do.

Cycling Weekly have the story

Yet they've missed the apparent fact that he's a serial offender, this story is getting a bit complex for my feeble brain But he's done it several times hasn't he?
Even one of the commenters on the Comic article have suggested it was an accident, has anyone summarised the story so far including his previous antics to this latest one?

Still 10. I got it right away, remarkable really for a thickie.

Post # 399 of this thread makes a pretty good fist of it.

The only 'blow over' I want to see, is his bike hitting the deck in a gale, whilst parked outside his local magistrates court. With him inside awaiting his long over due punishment for being a dangerous dick!

Just a thought about the legal side: given that there is a history of cyclist-hating on his website (now pulled) and on his twitter account (some of which have been screengrabbed for this thread), followed by a malicious act, is this not a hate crime? Or do you have to be a pre-established hate figure for such a charge?

Hate crimes are about who people are, rather than what they do. And I think that's right, I'd hate to think of special protection given to (say) fox hunters, or bankers or neo-nazis. Or cyclists, really.

Thats odd really... as religious expression is something you do rather than something you are..

Mmmm, say the cyclist had been black and the motorcyclist had a history of posting abuse toward black people? It indicates intent, not proof of anything I suppose.

With all the new videos/mirrors flying about the place a common recurring comment that is being posted is along the lines that the cyclist shouldn't have been riding where he was given that all the other vehicles were undertaking (irrespective of the motorbiker's actions, of course).

In response to that (somewhat irrelevant point) I don't think I've seen it mentioned so far on here, or anywhere, that it looks like the lights have only just turned green. That would explain the small queue, the stationary cars at the back and the slow moving cars at the front that have begun to move past the cyclist as the mbiker catches up. It also gives a reason as to why the cyclist was likely on the right in the first place. In addition, though I can't be too sure from the footage, even though two people are approaching/standing at the crossing, it seems that there are some pedestrians on the left walking away from it too.

As well as that small issue, I can't believe the number of people around the web who are victim blaming the cyclist. Well, I can believe it. I just don't like it!
