A woman who posted a message on Twitter about knocking a cyclist off his bike has been found guilty of two charges related to the incident.

Turned out to be a very expensive tweet! (taking her job loss into account as well) :lol:
-
Why would you want to tell the world about an incident like that. Social media = unnecessary evil IMO. :fum:
-
I'm glad she got the licence points. Maybe not so smug next time eh, missus?
-
Good to see justice was served.... :goodjob:
Unfortunately there are plenty of drivers out there with her attitude.
And it's surprising how many people (here in Australia) don't know that both cyclists and motorcyclists can ride 2 abreast legally.
-
Watch out, Rusty, this will start the "Bloody two wheelers" brigade.
BTW, congrats on the 13,000 post!!

Yes this is true,not so much the motorcycles,but the pushies they are like any vehicle as well, to travel to the left of the road,not like you see most of the cycling racing People who ride two,three,four and six abreast,which in fact is not legal,except for the two abreast

Am sure there is another meaning in that statement!

what mine or Rusty's,I know exactly what Rusty is saying,many out there have absolutely no respect or thought for either cyclists or motor cyclists and some even have the abstract thoughts that Cyclists DO NOT have the right to be on the roads (D*#kheads)
-
Since taking up cycling during the summer and being subjected to shaking hands and holding conversations with passing motorists i now leave more space when i'm in my car and pasing cyclists

She got what she deserved.
i think it's scary how many people who have no respect for other kind of road users.
Having said that, especially the bicycle riders ask for trouble, the way some of them behave in traffic.

Totally unfair to other road users. :disapp:
Absolute stupidity. :fum:

And one damaged car.

Lucky that wasn't Rick-p in the ute. :(
See the other dude ride through the same gap after the accident. :Dunno:

That cyclist was an idiot. There is a big difference with cycling as a way of commuting, and cycling amongst traffic as that cyclist did. A very expensive and embarrassing lesson for the cyclist.

And........the guy with the helmet cam was following him exactly.

My apologies, Trev. I agree. Two idiots AT LEAST in that video. Commuting cyclists generally don't cycle like that.

The bull wasn't in a hurry to "toss" her off...
I don't reckon I would've been either... :lol:
-
I've been told by an unreliable source that girls sometimes go to those places without wearing knickers. :winker:
-
It wasn't me.... :D
-
'coz you're reliable :lol:
-
I'll take that as a compliment.... :razz:

Damned Right Phil,he would have had more than a bruised ego,bloody idiot,but I can guarantee if the first bloke had made it I bet,as long as my arse points to the ground the bloke with the cam would have followed if nothing had happened.

That is cheating - they are able to get a better grip on the saddle.
-
That bull reminded me of me.
At least she had a go. I hope someone thanked her for having a crack.
