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

[Drago]

@CopperCyclist I often have a wry grin on my fizzog when someone who couldn't hold a Monadnock PR 24 NX correctly feels sufficiently qualified to differentiate incompetence from coppers who are stuck with a legal system that gives motorists a greater level of protection from prosecution than murderers. After all, when did murderers enjoy the protection of an NIP period, or a calibration certificate, or the copper arresting him not wearing hi-vis?

I'm liking the style of the prosecutor, who seems determined to put Goble behind bars.

Mr Butt said: "Mr Goble, you are lying through your teeth. You have invented this about potholes because there is no reason for you to swerve into the path of Mr Jones."

Goble replied: "I presumed there were potholes there. They must have been fixed."

Mr Butt said: "This is rubbish, absolute rubbish."

I hope he goes to prison. Not for any offences he has committed. But just for being a complete prat.

If being a prat was a crime, we'd both be behind bars. I hope he gets sent down for driving like a tool and endangering others...

Let him get extra time for the offences. But even we couldnt be a as prattish
as this prat.

Scofflaw bellend cockwomble arrogant nasty piece of work. I hope we can trust in the good British jury to see through his "defence" beyond reasonable doubt.

All they have to do now is ask the council if there were any potholes fixed on the road in questio

I've never seen a pothole be filled in invisibly as it appears to be perfect on the clip.

Fantastic news. He is already in prison for burglary so this will help extend the time he is off the streets.

 

[WestStandMan]

Oh, and he has never been on a bike to the best of my knowledge. I am pretty sure both his brothers are dead, so his defence was pretty shaky there too!

 

[glenn forger]

Wait, his brother and alibi is dead? He used his dead brother to try to wriggle out of it?

 

[Arjimlad]

A great result. How about a lifetime driving ban though?
