Police ask for help to catch driver targeting cyclists...

[fossyant]

Good stuff, and now for the motorcycle idiot !

Surprised at the suspect's age though.

Sadly, I'm not. I've had more than a few "fat'n 50" guys driving straight at me.

late 30's and driving a 5 year old hatchback, 70% nobber chance.

I always reckon thatthere is a simple solution to this:

1. So...... you don't know who was driving the vehicle atthe time of the incident
2. So... you cannot therefore actually prove the vehicle was insured at the time
3. As you cannot prove the vehicle was insured it is perfectly reasonable to assume that it was not isured..... Your car is impounded.
4. Please come come back with proof that the driver at the time of the incident was insured

Then and only then will the car be released.

Unless it's insured for 'any driver'...

Yup. Pull out on you, you say thanks for that, they give you a load of abuse. I suppose you have to leave it at that due to worries you'll cause them a heart attack.

If you look at the stats... these are the most dangerous group whn it comes to the everyday offences

Perhaps he should have a link to this thread.

An update from the local rag.

If he pleads not guilty and is then found guilty he'll face a harsher penalty. Unless the jury all hate cyclists.

Cheers for the update.

Any one want to open a book on the likely verdict and, if guilty, the punishment?!

 

[Arjimlad]

He'll probably say the sun was in his eyes and the driving jury will acquit.

5 to 1 on as the jury will ignore corresponding cycle cam film of a cloudy day.

10 to 1 on - the jury will acquit after identifying a coruscating meteorite that temporarily blinded the driver by using a horoscope from around the time.

Yep. I posted that link, it's gone!

 

[jarlrmai]

Yeah most likely the same guy, the ages would match up, guess very little has changed for Dean eh.

I don't think his previous will be brought up in this case though.
