LB10SFJ very NSFW swears and tantrums

[bpsmith]

Any acceptance of apology by the rider and subsequent apology back for the way he also spoke to the driver?

 

[glenn forger]

He hasn't apologised for the driving, it's a fake apology.

So when all comes to all, toss bag is only prosecuted for a public offence order NOT his crass driving.

I'm not sure which is worse, the feeble profits-hit apology or the comments from some of the anti-cycling mob on the Daily Mail:

The video doesn't suggest that his views on cyclists are just a temporary blip. He's just trying to save his business now.

Late into this one, so apologies if already asked, but does anyone think the initial bonkers response and language from the cyclist not have a significant affect on the drivers response?

We don't know what happened on lead up, in fairness, but the attitude of both parties is pretty shocking.

I totally agree that the driver deserves whatever backlash he gets, but an good element of it is cause and effect?

How about the "initial" bonkers use of a 2 tonne vehicle? Would that not have an impact on the cyclists response?

3240Kg vehicle, or if we fancy Imperial: 3.6 Ton!

 

[Pale Rider]

It's true to say the cyclist started the verbals.

But all he said was: "Haay, come on."

I may well have said something similar.

The instant foul mouthed response suggests to me the driver was all but looking for a full-on confrontation.

There has to be scope for us to take a Sunday London Ride to one of his cafes? Surely?

Yeah! Maybe we could find out what school his kids go to! Grab your pitchforks!

I see the Daily Mail has helpfully edited the clip so the initial overtake does not feature...

I do have sympathy for his teenage kids. I can imagine they are getting a lot of flak at school.

Yeah, fining a bloke who lives in a £4m house £90 is a waste of time. He hit the rider with 2419k of metal, then threatened to kill him eleventy times. If the cops can't be bothered to do anything then fed up cyclists will, and I suspect it will cost him a lot more than a poxy £90.

Not daddy's finest hour was it?

They should cast Jason Wells as a baddie in the next Mad Max movie.
