So if we read between the lines: abusive Muslim motorist has a go at
cyclists, attacks them and then tries to blame them by claiming that
they had racially abused him.

Recorder David Dobbin accepted that the cyclists had racially insulted
Hussain.

But without any evidence other than the word of a convicted criminal.
Doesn't it make you proud of our wonderful criminal injustice system.

Unless you know otherwise, Hussain was not a convicted criminal at the
time he gave evidence that the cyclists had racially abused him.

Something triggered Hussain's reaction to the cyclists. I think it
more likely than not that it was a racial slur by one or both of the
cyclists.
