LB10SFJ very NSFW swears and tantrums

What a total and utter twonk Mr Wells is. Angry little man whose somewhat equivocal apology probably sums him up, the hobbit-footed pathetic excuse for a man.

 

[J1888]

Yes and no.

I agree it is vanishingly unlikely there will be any further prosecution.

But as a witness in the case, his admission of a driving offence - via an apology - could be used as evidence against him.

If the PR was doing his job, he would have advised the client not to admit any 'new' criminal offences.

TBF, his 'PR' reps, seem to be two party birds https://twitter.com/samphirechicks - not exactly Edelman!

The driver has made an apology:

“In response to a video of an incident I was involved in on the March 14, 2015, I would like to apologise for any offence caused.
“My behaviour was unacceptable and regardless of the situation, I shouldn’t react like that.
“I fully appreciate that cyclists have as much right to the road as any other road users.
“I will be making no further comment at this time.”

I bet he had his fingers crossed when he said it.

He's apologised, what do people want from him now?

A public sit-down:

then exiled to a penal colony in Australia.

89% of people who expressed an opinion DO NOT accept his apology. (You can vote)

He is Australian. He's admitted a public order offence. Can't we deport him anyway?

Saw something on TV once very similar - I believe it was a David Blaine interview - the US Street magician. He said that when he started out his approach sometimes got hostility on the streets when people didn't realise he was a performer, and became aggressive towards him. He said his way of dealing with this everytime was to spot absolute nonsense, such as "My fish has a red shirt - why?". He claimed it always worked for him, as the 'offender' instantly had their anger brought down as their higher brain functions had to kick in trying to make sense of what was said, and once past that moment they just either walked off thinking him to have mental health problems or showed concern.

Not a technique I've ever seen used, but can see the logic. If a cycle cammer could try it, I'd love to see the result! (note - if it fails and you get beaten up anyway, it wasn't my idea!)

No such thing as a new idea. Newman setting the standard for conflict resolution way back in '81

I am not sure what is more depressing this whole incident or the Daily Mail comments section. I do feel sorry for his family though but judging by some comments from his staff about his sexual harassment, bully mentality and coke habit I can't help but feel he has brought it all on himself.

What a surprise the guy is a grade A nobber.

Why do people bother to read the Daily Mail comment's section?

To feel intellectually superior?

That's more appropriate.

Just viewed this for the first time. The cyclist is as aggressive as the driver. Both need to grow up.

I missed the bit where the cyclist deliberately drove three tons of metal into someone?
