I expect you've all seen this. Driver tweets about a collision.

[glenn forger]

Err, who do you think will make her a martyr? Has anyone from "the motor press" expressed sympathy for her?

 

[albion]

So, essentially, your point is that this person should be made an example of to carry the burden of all drivers' misdemeanors?

err that is how the law works. It is also why offences are compounded by running away from the scene and then shouting about it.

Like the one who just got 10+ years for going to the very next stage and actually killing the tandem riders.

Can we not just burn and brand her and get it over with? It would save on legal fees.

 

[glenn forger]

That would be completely out of precaution.

She's ''a cyclist herself" apparently, so maybe she's on CycleChat. Which one of you is it?

I am Emma Way and so's my wife.

I am not Brian. Nor is my wife. Jesus is.

Nor am I spartacus. That was Kirk Douglas.

Not sure having a seized up purple British Eagle full-sus mtb in your parents garage makes you a cyclist.

This is probably more like it.

Well yes. But it is not the duty of the cycling 'community' or anyone else to decide the nature of the sentence...

I don't think tthe cycling community are going to be deciding that. I mean, you may have a greater understanding of the legal system than I do, but I'm quite certain they won't determine the sentence.

You appear to be creating a whole lot of false propositions to argue against.

Nope - she has already been sentenced by the cycling community.

Sentenced to be thought of as a selfish, self-centred, rather extremely dim pea-brain who has no concern for anyone else's safety and is only sorry because she got caught.

Any other type of sentence will, as you say, be passed by others.

She was on Radio Norfolk today. Someone phoned in and said" I promise I'm not having a go, but why did you post pictures of your speedo at 95mph and you tailgating another motorist?"

"I can't talk about that" her brief said.

 

[Archie_tect]

She agreed to an interview on radio?

 

[Archie_tect]

Car crash TV?

 

[EltonFrog]

Can I just say, I have never had a thread I originated on CC go to 16 pages before.

She only appears to regret the tweet, not the attitude or the incident. SMH

Cycle tweet' girl breaks her silence

http://www.itv.com/news/anglia/2013-05-22/cycle-tweet-girl-breaks-her-silence/

In the tv interview she forgot what she said in the original Tweet my backside..

This is what she said.......
“I knocked a cyclist off his bike. I have right of way, he doesn’t even pay road tax”
