Michael Gledhill verdict.

[jefmcg]

On another thread about this I wondered what the sentence would have been if they had argued outside the vehicle, and John had picked up his bike over his head and killed Gledhill with it.

He most certainly would not have been charged with a traffic offence.

I ride past this spot often and always give the white bike a wave or a nod that I give every other cyclist.

This part of the road seems to be hotspot for unnecessary abuse.

Me too and a quick thought too. Simple sign of respect of me.

It is a road that is faster than the speed limit if that makes sense - Drivers coming from New Mill/Honley or Lockwood are frustrated by the time they get to this point

And that's what's wrong with most drivers (including me at times). Some kind of sense of entitlement that we must be able to go at the fastest speed the road (width, bends, surface) will allow - and anyone (tourists bimbling along, cyclists, anyone driving slower than we want to) is in our way and should not be.
And in some people, unfortunately, that translates into road rage...

True.

Chairman of the Huddersfield branch cycling charity CTC, Mr. John Redford was the victim of a road rage attack. After deliberately being driven in to after an altercation, he was left in a vegetative state until his death last year.

Should have made the sentence 10 times longer.
