In some people it's a permanent effect, and in some only
temporary.

It changes tubby people into thin people.

At the cost of looking like a bellend, being laughed at and hated?
Even if I was tubby I'd give it a miss.

Why do I have a photograph of you on a bicycle?

Because I was taking the ****.

Where did you get that bicycle? You must prove it does not belong to
you!

If you look closely you will see that it is a girl's bicycle, she was about
10 or something when the photo was taken.
Maybe about 3 years ago.
She is now 13, right up your street.

Needs to be a year older than that to be legal in Germany :-)

This crime was all about her driving.

A ban is sensible, cheap for us,

Good point, I never thought of the idea of sentencing as cheap. All
those judges, jail time, rehabilitation, save on taxes, that's the way
forward.

not so damaging for her kid

Another good point, my children can mitigate my sentence, I wish I'd had
more kids.

and a good lesson for her. Jail should only be used in extreme
cases.

Like a suspended sentence.

This was a type of behaviour that happens very often. Within the last
three months I have had one driver threatening and swearing at me for
signalling left when they wanted to undertake and another beep me for
riding in the middle of the road. We can't send them all to jail but
we could give out a lot of bans.

Given she was convicted of driving an unlicensed vehicle, driving
without reasonable consideration for other road users and using
threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour.

Her car didn't have an MOT. 100,000s of people commit this crime. The
effective way to deter them doing so is detection not sending them all
to prison.

Many people on occasion use strong language.

I ride a bike and regularly have people threaten my safety by driving
dangerously, that worries me. Without reasonable consideration is so
regular that it isn't even worth a remark. It pales into insignificance
compared to the dangerous stuff.

I'm also not particularly concerned about a hissy fit.

So the legal system will punish this one girl and do nothing to prevent
the general case.

A middle aged woman who selfishly kills a cyclist will still be given 3
points and a £100 pound fine, because she says sorry and pretends she
just didn't see the cyclist.












If you're happy with this, fine by me, let them out on the road, but I'm
not so comfortable with that.

I was suggesting the appropriate punishment was a driving ban, so I
don't understand this comment.

Everybody knows. 18 in the USA, 16 in the UK, 14 in Germany. Would you say people ****ing 16 year olds in the UK are criminals? Because in the eyes of the Americans they are.

She obviously did not realise that cyclists are allowed to ride down the middle
of the road and block other vehicles.
