    What a fool. Should have given him more than a fine IMO. A ban from driving for a year would have been more like it.

    That'd be a bit harsh don't you think?!

    Fine was appropriate for what happened.

    I think threatening death on people is a bit harsh. But mostly I just don't like the idea of mindless díckheads being allowed on the roads.

    "Lomas, apparently frustrated at being unable to pass the cyclist as the road narrowed due to a traffic island, had beeped his horn and shouted abuse, continuing to do so as the pair passed each other several times over the next few minutes, and eventually threatening to kill him."

    While this is a victory of sorts it also illustrates the institutional discrimination cyclists are up against. The plaintiff in this case won because he was a barrister. As I understand it the police twice refused to refer it to the crown prosecution service. Also when it did go to the CPS it had the good fortune to land on the desk of a prosecutor who was a cyclist.
