Cyclist attacked in Cambridge

[Rob3rt]

This person has gone to university and obtained a doctorate in his subject.
A NHS doctor can be a professor. Its all about the level of which you took your subject or too what the subject allows.
A PhD makes you a professor.
Once you have obtained a PhD, doctorate or anything similar legally your title is changed to represent the level of higher education. Its Kinda a bonus.

No it doesn't!

Similar incident up here, this poor guy had the audacity to filter to the front of a line of traffic at a red light.

PhD stands for (in Latin) Doctor of Philosophy, and is also known as a doctorate. In the UK at least, that is arguably a more 'proper' Doctor than a medical doctor who, whilst more familiar in everyday life, MAY or MAY NOT HAVE a doctorate (and MAY or MAY NOT HAVE done any original research) and uses the title in a more honorifc style. Although medical doctors tend to use the title universally whereas PhDs tend to only use it in a professional context.
A professor in the UK is a job title at a university, usually the head of a department not a specific academic qualification, so could in theory have no qualification and be self taught. In the US it is usually a title for teaching PhDs.
WIYF

FTFY

FTFmyself to clarify what I was getting at, although you are totally correct of course.

IN the NHS the term Dr is not generally used as a title unless you are a clinical doctor

You should be able to wear a mini skirt without fear of getting raped just as you should be able to communicate via the use of hand signals without the fear of being assaulted. Some of the posters on here give the impression that he was somehow 'asking for it'.

And lest we forget, its perfectly legal to overtake another cyclist. We don't need permission to do so from cars behind us, nor do they have priority.

Also, most of the comments after the article seem to forget that he was provoked into giving the finger by the agressive horn beeping of the driver in the first place.
In play ground terms "he (the driver) started it".

I know a few nurses who are doctors. They certainly do use the title.

Surgeons aren't Drs, they're Mr.

Yes, sorry.

Surely everyone knows that PhD translated directly actually means that the person bearing the title "Prepares hot Drinks" certainly everyone I know with one does this an inordinate amount.

Not necessarily. Read his quotes.

"I overtook another cyclist"

"He came from nowhere"

That could be "I didn't look behind when I overtook the cyclist"

He also infers the driver has a negative attitude towards cyclists, and appears to derive this assumption from non verbal communication.

For someone with a PhD he doesn't appear very bright.
