Birmingham road rage driver ordered to pay £25 compensation after helmet cam conviction

Hit 'em where it hurts.

QUOTE:
A Birmingham motorist has been ordered to pay a cyclist £25 in compensation
after pleading guilty to a public order offence following a road rage
incident last August, which was filmed on the rider's helmet camera. The
news comes less than a fortnight after we reported on the conviction of a
London driver who had verbally threatened cycling lawyer Martin Porter in an
incident similarly captured on film.

The Birmingham Mail reports that 38-year old IT consultant Rob Styles was
cycling home from work along Pershore Road, Stirchley, when the incident
occurred at 6.25pm on the evening of 25 August. As the camera footage shows,
a car pulled up alongside him, halting on the pavement, with the driver,
55-year-old Robert Johnson from Selly Oak. He is then filmed getting out and
unleashing a tirade peppered with four letter words at Mr Styles, asking
him, "Do you want a f*cking fight?"

Mr Styles subsequently uploaded the video to YouTube. The motorist pleaded
guilty to a public order offence at Birmingham Magistrates' Court on
Thursday, and besides being ordered to pay Mr Styles £25 compensation, was
also ordered to pay £105 costs.

Mr Styles said: "Cyclists have a right to be on the road. It was pretty
scary, I thought I was going to get hit."

Some excellent comments as usual.

On reflection, £25 is quite steep when you consider that the driver
has to look in the mirror and see his own fat, plethoric,
hypertensive, miserable bowling ball with fluff on top face everyday
of his tiresome and futile existence. At least he has been made to
look like a bell-end on the world wide web.

I am beginning to be convinced that this helmet cam stuff is the
answer we cyclists have been looking for for a long time in response
to driver rage and deliberate rammings. Which cam do you recommend and
how long does it run for?

I can see which way this is going - you'll probably find a smack in the
mouth is followed by stamping on the video glasses.
I certainly don't condone such behaviour, this is the mark of the moron and
thug; but there are plenty of those about.

Sorry if this is not what you want to hear, but I'm a student of reality - I
leave the fantasy to others.

This is ******** Simon.
A while ago I cut up a very tough looking bloke in Leyland, Lancashire.
He got out of van and threatened me with a harding over.
Regardless of blame I did not report him to the police.
Time you cyclists grew up I think.
