Seems very much to be the victim's word against hers. I agree there appears to be a case, but I can't see how they will be able to get confident of a successful prosecution. Her explanation of her tweets could be correct, i.e. bragging between a friend. Seems to me it's going to need somebody else to confirm the original story - at the moment, the only witness appears to support her case that she was exaggerating for effect?

It’s a sad state of affairs when these celebrity obsessed people need to Troll to make a name for themselves.

It's quite easy to still be over the limit at 9am the next morning. And at the rate the young 'un's down it these days...

The biggest case of back tracking I've ever seen. Someone's obviously told her about Emma Way.

I thought it was the same as the rules governing entry into Australia: A criminal record is prerequisite.
Things have changed a bit here in Australia since the colonial days. You can no longer get in with a criminal record but they will let you out with one. In fact I think the British Government no longer mind Australian criminals entering the UK. One thing they did make me do before giving me my visa was to test me for HIV and TB.

I guess this cyclist must just not want the hassle.

The guy that Emma Way hit is a total legend, his interview with ITV (i think) was a masterpiece of talking to the press and being be totally reasonable.

Admitetdly from the DM so apologies:

"What the hell is everyone saying here? Is it really OK for a cyclist to bang on the roof of your car???? Sounds like some stupid comments on Twitter by the girl in question but I don't think I would be best impressed if someone touched my car whatever the story! No cyclist has passed a single exam, test or even an induction course in road rules and regulations so about time they had a licence and insurance!"

Why does it not occur to these idiots that most (I would assume) cyclists also drive (well those above 17/18 anyway) and that we have all passed our driving licences/tests and many have vastly more experience than stupid idiots that post these sort of remarks.

It is also not uncommon for cyclists to ride motorbikes as well - which undoubtedly makes us more aware/tested/experienced and better on the roads than (let's just make a number up) 95% of motorists!!! FFS

What the hell is this huge problem that people have with their car being touched anyway? How has this been allowed to become any sort of justification whatsoever for violent behaviour and language? Last time I looked most cars were made out of metal and designed to be driven on less than perfect roads. How does touching them or even giving them a slap hurt them? This is a complete red herring that gets used as a justification for all sorts of bad behaviour. The fact that they were close enough to be touched should automatically put them in the wrong, not give them justification for acting like backsides. Leave your car in the garage if you don't want anyone to touch the prcious thing. FFS. And Sheesh.

Not that would be in the situation of being close to a cyclist. But if someone touched my car for no reason I would be the first to give them a slap back. Likewise if anyone touches my bike for no reason I'd be right up there slapping them too. If I'm stopped at lights and a cyclist touches my car I'd go nuts. I wouldn't dare touch someones car paid for by their hard earned cash. :boxing:

So hands off.
