Man who punched cyclist for pulling out in front of car fined

The 'boyfriend' should be dealt with by liberal application of an iron bar to the face. 

The defence solicitor(Miss Simpson) should receive a sharp kick in the clam for agreeing to say this:

 "He says his girlfriend is not a confident driver. They're behind the cyclist, the cyclist drives right into the middle of the road.

"As a car behind a cyclist that's going to cause some kind of alarm, particularly for a driver that's not confident.

"He says he asked the cyclist to apologise to his girlfriend because she was upset. He describes the cyclist as being aggressive and coming towards him.

"He punched him in the face. He says he wasn't defending himself, he's gone over the top really and he should have just left."

The judge(s) in this case demonstrated the wisdom of Solomon.  Can you please publish their names?  

I would have thought the victim sustained at least some bruising, which makes this a case of ABH.  Given the offender's previous convictions for general bellendery, surely a short prison sentence would have been appropriate. Fines clearly don't bother the guy.

I have to say I would find it very hard, as the victim, having seen no justice served whatsoever, not to pay some rough men to pay the guy a visit at home and teach him a proper lesson.

Can we change the headline, clearly "pulling out in front of motorist" is incorrect? The cyclist merely negotiated a hazard, exactly as you'd expect. Jeesuus, if I got attacked everytime I went around a pothole ... there would probably be a lot of attackers in hospital, or the dock.

"Green was fined £210 and ordered to pay £85 costs and £100 compensation to Mr Tuddenham.."

British justice at its finest.  Totally unprovoked assault, very severe slap on the wrist, and total twat allowed to continue on his way, assaulting whoever he likes, with little fear of the consequences.  Why wan't this fine at least a £1000?  and the compensation seems hardly adequate for the shock of the assault, the time taken to report it and the time taken in subsequent proceedings.  Make that a grand as well.

Mr Green is clearly not someone who willing participates in society, and must be taught how to behave; slaps on the wrist ain't gonna do it.

What, so this isn't  even his first offence? 

Guess he's not black then.

Charming individual

Total cost of punching someone in the face for no reason: £395 "Green was fined £210 and ordered to pay £85 costs and £100 compensation" 

This reminds me of a historical anecdote.  A rich Senator's son went walking through ancient Rome slapping the face of every person he didn't like. His slave walking behind him immediately paid the fixed fee penalty which was no great cost to his master. This was told to me by a Roman law professor explaining how the law can become totally ineffectual when it fails to keep up with reality and fails to have a dissuasive effect.

I'm not sure how his girlfriend's lack of confidence is mitigating any more than pink doorknobs in Brussels are. A driver should give a cyclist enough space precisely for the reasons the cyclist needed it - to avoid obstacles.

We create a highway code,  and then ignore it on the road and in the courts. What's the fucking point of it?

Hiding behind an excuse involving his girlfriend. Weak cunt.

If the driver is so unconfident maybe she shouldn't be driving.

If this Tyler Green is the same one as convicted for these other crimes linked to (smashing up a hotel and stealing/crashing cars) maybe he should be lined up for more sever corrective treatment as he's obviously got serious issues that a £395 loss is not going to solve.

How about wiring up his knackers to a Tazer triggered by a HRM so he gets a nit of a shock if he gets a bit too lively.

This clown and his missus sound mental. She shits herself when she sees a cyclist and he shits himself when she shits herself.

Car must smell great.

Cunts the lot of them

Amazing how the less confident somehow manage to pass their driving tests though. Tens of thousands of people on the roads that really shouldn't be.

Assuming this is the same cretin (at an earlier address):

Clearly the thug has no understanding of law or how to assist a less confident driver, and she appears too meek to pull over at her boyfriends request. Either way the driving licence for both parties should have been withdrawn.

I think the important bit to take from this is was it's was this moron's "less confident" GF driving instead of the overly aggressive man being left in control of a few tons of metal.

I'd also suggest if you're "alarmed" by a cyclist swerving a little to avoid a potential hazard you are either following too closely or attempting to overtake incorrectly.

They should have banned his girlfriend from driving for a month to give her time to relax a bit and as a lesson for not driving round a complete asshat.
