I have just seen that one. It is like watching Brian Blessed on Angel Dust.

Eccentric, fair enough, but harmless? I don't think so. I'd rather not be tarred with the same brush as that utter melt.

The small amount of good he may do is offset by chasing down cars blaring his ridiculous horns, attempting to direct traffic in front of him, bellowing and making threatening gestures at people who have made a mistake... I could go on, but there are ways to go about interacting with fellow road users and from what I've seen, Traffic Droid's methods range from the worrying to the dangerous.

As for that ridiculous camera on a stick get up he's fashioned, that's just bizarre, surely not a sensible addition to a bike being used on busy London streets?

I just wonder if his blood pressure is higher than his heart rate.

[QUOTE 2984835, member: 30090"]Is this thread not a wee bit out of order? Unless of course you want to invite the man back to defend his actions and give reasons as to do what he does and why he does it.....[/QUOTE]

No, and feel free to invite him, judging by his vids he's more than capable of standing up for himself.

[QUOTE 2984858, member: 30090"]Yeah it is, it's in bad taste and could perceived to be a touch hypocritical because as AFAIK this type of thing has been stamped out before, where threads have been set up or gone off piste slagging a former member of CC only for @Shaun to step in - of which he may well do and I hope he does.[/QUOTE]

I understand, its not in keeping with the CC ethos then but as he puts his vids out there as far as I'm concerned its fair game to comment just perhaps not here?

Then please comment directly on his videos, not on a forum where he is no longer a member. And consider too that not all of us enjoy perfect mental health.

The guy has threatened other road users, motorists and cyclists alike for the smallest of infractions and sometimes of his own doing and has even used physical force against cyclists.

Very surprised that the guy has not been seriously assaulted TBH.

 

[glenn forger]

Threatened?

 

[AndyRM]

Threatened?

A large dude covered in flashing lights and cameras, pointing, yelling and waving you over to the side of the road might not be your idea of threatening, but I can see why others would think differently.

 

[fossyant]

Oh dear God. That is hilarious.

Don't know about hilarious, he is one angry person !
