I suppose that is the best we can expect from the courts in this day and age.
To convict him of dangerous driving would require his driving to fall below that expected of a normal driver and his behaviour is normal for motorists.
Quite how threatening to run someone over with 2 tonnes of metal became acceptable behaviour is beyond me.
If you put a gun to someones head and threatened to shoot them because they were in your way you would be in prison for life.
Explain why the cyclist pulled in front of him without using his mirrors.
The cyclist did not have mirrors.
Did he have a stiff neck? I am capable when cycling of looking over my shoulder to check for cars before I move to the right.
He is also allowed to fit mirrors to his bike if he cannot do the above.
If does neither, he is a danger on the roads.
I have run out of troll food.
