"She broke the law, the judicial system jailed her. Their ages aren't significant and people who report crimes aren't snitches. All in my opinion." That pretty much covers it. | |||

"She broke the law, the judicial system jailed her. Their ages aren't significant and people who report crimes aren't snitches. All in my opinion." Legally the case is a no brainer but morally did this need to be dealt with by the po po? The ages and frankly privileged lifestye of one are relevant to the moral case, if not the legal. Legally she is an adult responsible for her actions. However, scientifically we can prove that the neourological decision making processes are not fully mature at that age. His are. | |||

Are you saying that because he is older and has a good standard of living he should have accepted it and walked away? Most 22 year olds don't behave that way despite their neurological decision making processes not having matured. | |||

"She broke the law, the judicial system jailed her. Their ages aren't significant and people who report crimes aren't snitches. All in my opinion. The more we accept aggressive and offensive behaviour in our society, the more we become desensitised to it. The offender had a history of assaults and public order offences to her name, which no doubt were taken into account when sentencing. Don't be a dick. Be a nice human." She has a history. Meaning her life was going down the wrong route. She is a very under privileged girl and he is a very privileged public figure. He could have used the situation to try and help her change course. But he didn't and now any chance she had of a normal life is effectively over at age 22, over a road rage incident that wasn't even physical. Anyone who has never had a non-physical road rage incident can feel free to cast the first stone. | |||

"Did you watch the video of the incident? " Yes although it was a while ago. In my memory it is in a whole different league to what you describe below which i have no synpathy with the boy racer. " People's thoughts will vary of course but you'll only feel more strongly if it's something that's happened to you. Only yesterday my wife had a taste of road rage from another driver, after he had cut her off almost hitting the front of her car, he sped away then slammed on, forcing my wife to swerve into the other lane, once she'd over taken him, he proceeded to speed up and tail gate her, slowing down then speeding up almost ramming into her, once they got onto a roundabout he undertook her on it and sped off, our son said he was actually on the phone when he did that. My wife was clearly upset by his actions as she felt very intimidated by his actions, the lad looked in his 20s and driving a focus, clearly a boy racer who doesn't give a toss about any other road user. Anyway, going back to your post, I've seen the video of the incident and she was a very impatient driver, her reaction was not warranted for the situation, regardless of it being against a man of that age, anyone on the receiving end of her abuse would have been clearly shaken." | |||

Everyone purporting to be under privileged should be permitted to be angry and aggressive towards people better off? The law needs to treat all equally or it will descend into madness! Plenty of under privileged(whatever that means these days) never have any issues in life. My perspective is she made a choice and now faces the consequences? | |||

Personally my threshold would require physicality. Personally i think it is not becoming of a man to stand up in court and basically say that a young girl bullied you, unless it's ronda rousey. I see the relevance being the consequences the prison sentence will have on a young persons life and future prospects relative to a fairly mundane incident that happened to be on camera. | |||

"Personally i think a 51 year old man who gets a 22 year old girl jailed because she scared him with some naughty words = a pussy, but what sayeth the forumites? " So because he's a man he should have just sucked it up? I suppose you think that domestic abuse is only perpetrated by men too. I remember an experiment being conducted (all set up to gauge public reaction) where, firstly, they filmed a man being abusive to his (apparent) partner, and members of the public stepped in to break it up, tell him to back off etc, then they reversed it with the woman as the aggressor and many members of the public either ignored them or laughed and giggled. Abuse is abuse. And believe me, I know. I've been on the receiving end. | |||

"Having just watched the video, why did he stop in front of the car anyway...yes she was impatient by beeping at him to move, but he could have moved over at the point of him stopping as the road became clear. To the OP...I suppose the police thought she broke the law which she has to pay the consequences, but it may not have happened if he had just pulled out of the way instead of stopping in the middle of the road. She may well have abused someone else further down the rad for something else though " Hooray so thats 20 for jail time and 2 for stiches | |||

Everyone has choices on how to behave, everyone has to live by the choices they make. She had a history of aggressive behaviour and chose not to change her ways. How many get out of jail free cards does someone get? As for snitches get stitches.... Laughable. Advocating violence against those who do the right thing. OK she didn't get physical on this occasion but she was clearly volatile enouvh to get out of her car and threaten violence. What if the next time she was in even worse of a mood and assaulted whoever it was that got in her way then? There is no moral argument here. Just a sexist one. The old 'men should be men' 'take it like a man'view that keeps male domestic violence, physical verbal and emotional, a taboo subject. | |||

No i think he didn't need to report it or press charges. The police had their hands tied. " No they didn't. What they had was enough evidence for a conviction. If it was a 22 year old male from this so called hood would you be pleading for leniency as well? | |||

". She has a history. Meaning her life was going down the wrong route. She is a very under privileged girl and he is a very privileged public figure.. We had bugger all when we were kids, it isn't an excuse to break the law. If she was that under privileged she wouldn't even be driving No it's not an excuse. But when we look at great public figures we see forgiveness and compassion as great virtues. From Nelson Mandela working with people that once hated him just to his skin to Pope Jean Paul II visiting a man in prison after the guy shot him. They used their position for positive change. It's the correct legal decision but no good will come of it. Statistically the liklihood is she will be in and out of prison for the rest of her life... at our expense. " And that is her own fault if that happens. How do you know she won't use this incident to fix her life and not be such an arse in the future? Using background/ age etc is a bullshit excuse. Plenty of people from shit backgrounds have used that to fuel themselves and become better people. Saying it's his fault for reporting her is just a whiny excuse. "The world owes me one" yeah right. | |||

Yes she had previous convictions. Personally i think a 51 year old man who gets a 22 year old girl jailed because she scared him with some naughty words = a pussy, but what sayeth the forumites? Is it right to continiously strive to remove aggression from our social interactions or should snitches get stiches? The 51yo man didn't get the young girl jailed.. ...The young girl did that to herself The streets did it to her before she did it to him Oh for gods sake that is the most ridiculous of a the ridiculous statements you have made on this thread! Everyone has choices on how to behave, everyone has to live by the choices they make. She had a history of aggressive behaviour and chose not to change her ways.

How many get out of jail free cards does someone get? As for snitches get stitches.... Laughable. Advocating violence against those who do the right thing. OK she didn't get physical on this occasion but she was clearly volatile enouvh to get out of her car and threaten violence. What if the next time she was in even worse of a mood and assaulted whoever it was that got in her way then? There is no moral argument here. Just a sexist one. The old 'men should be men' 'take it like a man'view that keeps male domestic violence, physical verbal and emotional, a taboo subject. " | |||

"She broke the law, the judicial system jailed her. Their ages aren't significant and people who report crimes aren't snitches. All in my opinion. Legally the case is a no brainer but morally did this need to be dealt with by the po po? The ages and frankly privileged lifestye of one are relevant to the moral case, if not the legal. Legally she is an adult responsible for her actions. However, scientifically we can prove that the neourological decision making processes are not fully mature at that age. His are. On that basis what do you think he did wrong? I'm suggesting he didn't need to go to the police about it. Write it off as one of those annoying things that you won't remember in a months time. " For her just to go on and do it again. I think he was rite to report her. Hopefully she will be made to do a driving course and learn from it. I doubt it tho. PTU xxx | |||

Yes she had previous convictions. Personally i think a 51 year old man who gets a 22 year old girl jailed because she scared him with some naughty words = a pussy, but what sayeth the forumites? Is it right to continiously strive to remove aggression from our social interactions or should snitches get stiches? I'm not sure what is mire repulsive your suggestion that he is a pussy or that he is a snitch who deserves stitches. You are welcome to find my opinion replusive. But i refer the honourable gentleman to the defibition of a snitch which is "a person who tells someone in authority (such as the police or a teacher) about something wrong that someone has done : someone who snitches." So he categorically is a snitch. Whether snitches should get stitches was a moral question and not necessarily the opinion of the author. Okay... When you declared he was a pussy, stated that Vine got her jailed (he didn't, her behaviour got her jailed) and belittled him for being the victim of you made I think you made your viewpoint pretty clear. Add to that the use of the word snitch in the context you used is clearly an attempt to look at best anti-authoritarian but in reality nothing more than a wannabe gangster and finally you pose a question whether we should strive to remove violence from society when any right thinking civilised person would find unneccesary violence and aggression abhorrent. Sorry but I think it's a reasonable assumption what that the snitches need stitches comment isn't justcan attempt to prompt debate" Aggression is part of the human condition. You may find the human condition in it's raw form to be abhorrent but i disagree that all civilised people would agree with you. I would draw the line before physical violence. | |||

"Just seen the video on you tube. at one point the road is wide enough for him to pull over a little and let her pass it was almost like he was looking for a confrontation with the car driver . Agree, they were both to blame It's called the primary position. It's recommended by the highway code and police" "When riding in the primary position, trainees should travel at a reasonable speed, as part of the traffic flow. If, however, traffic is building up behind them and the road ahead is clear, they may wish to move to the secondary position to avoid obstructing other road-users unnecessarily." Jeremy actually stopped in the middle of the road to tell the woman he was allowed to be in the road ( which he was ) making the car behind having no choice but to stop.... when he could have moved over about another yard further down the road I am not sure thats in the highway code | |||

". She has a history. Meaning her life was going down the wrong route. She is a very under privileged girl and he is a very privileged public figure.. We had bugger all when we were kids, it isn't an excuse to break the law. If she was that under privileged she wouldn't even be driving No it's not an excuse. But when we look at great public figures we see forgiveness and compassion as great virtues. From Nelson Mandela working with people that once hated him just to his skin to Pope Jean Paul II visiting a man in prison after the guy shot him. They used their position for positive change. It's the correct legal decision but no good will come of it. Statistically the liklihood is she will be in and out of prison for the rest of her life... at our expense. So you think the police should have said " there there, go n your way and don't be naughty again because you are under priveleged driving your car"? No i think he didn't need to report it or press charges. The police had their hands tied. I understand the sentiment of your critique (I'm a bleeding heart liberal after all) but I don't think simply dropping the charges/ignoring the fact she broke the law automatically would ensure behavioural change. Perhaps through facing the consequences of her actions and having to engage in forms of rehabilitation, such as support services working with offenders, perhaps this might be the intervention that makes a difference. I think the most classy thing he could have done is offer to drop the charges if she took steps to turn her life around and apologise. I wonder if, once the process was in play, if that was actually even possible. I don't know. I don't know that I'm interested in a classy action though. I'm concerned she is supported to turn her life around with whatever support she needs to do that. And that he's okay after being in an unsettling and verbally abusive situation, although I assume he has moved on successfully. Got any bleeding heart friends you can call in for cavalry? I need backup " Haha! My heart may be bleeding but I'm still with the fact that the offence should be reported, and that facing the judicial consequences is as likely, if not more, to help turn her life around as JV letting her off and don't think his reporting the incident should reflect negatively on him. Although he should have pulled out the way as mentioned by others on the thread and perhaps the situation would not have escalated, however he's not responsible for her choice to escalate it and nor should he be condemned to be her saviour due to his privilege in contrast to her's. | |||

"For clarity one month of her sentence was for road rage. The other 8 were part of a suspended sentence for among other things ABH." I'm not sure if the OP is ignoring your post because this fact is inconvenient or for another reason. She was not jailed for 9 months for simply shouting her mouth off, her sentencing which this conviction activated included convictions for theft, assault and resisting arrest. She deserved what she got as she clearly hadn't learned from her previous indiscretions. Wether JV should have reported her or just turned the other cheek is a separate issue but considering her history I would suggest it was fortunate he did report her. | |||

I didn't comment because it doesn't effect my point. I never said the sentence was wrong. I have no complaints about the way the court or police dealt with it. I'd rather it didn't go to them in the first place or he dropped it after he'd made his point. | |||

"I often get into these arguments with friends and I'm always torn. I enjoy off road cycling, love it infact. I find cycling on Tarmac boring and mundane, but as a cyclist, I understand why people do it. As someone who drives hundreds of miles a week, I see 3 different types of cyclists, the ones who follow the rules as they should, the ones who follow none of the rules, and the worst ones, the ones who follow which ever rule suits them the most, they are unpredictable and the most dangerous. I've lost my temper with cyclists before for being careless and even dangerous, because if I hit a cyclist, it's not going to hurt me, it could easily kill him/her I don't know the full story, but if he was being reckless and she had a go, then good for her, if she was just being a dick then see ya later " Bit of both. He was determined to make a point about why he needed to cycle in the middle of the road and not especially fast and she was impatient. | |||

And much of suburban London is a 20 limit, a cyclist will likely be travelling at 15-20mph so the delay is negligible to motorists. And of course cyclists are traffic, I wouldn't class a solitary car as traffic building up behind in the sanexway as no motorist would ever pull over to let a single faster moving car, they would expect the car behind to wait fir a suitable place to overtake safely. That said Vine's actions are fairly hard to defend. He is undeniably antagonistic and dies nothing other than exacerbate the situation. In his defence itvis fucking terrifying when an ahressive motorist starts shouting at you, cars are an effective and deadly weapon and too many motorists don't realise that. Personally I get the fuck away from angry motorists, in 30+ years of cycling I've been spat at, punched, driven at and on one memorable occasion thought I was in danger of being shot so I really can't be done with the confrontation so I'd have got our the way and let her get passed as a preservation tactic and just for the quiet life. But (again from memory) she was raging before he stopped | |||

"So Jeremy Vine had one of those cylist vr driver arguements with a woman has now gone to jail for 9 months for "threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour". Yes that's actually a crime. Yes she had previous convictions. Personally i think a 51 year old man who gets a 22 year old girl jailed because she scared him with some naughty words = a pussy, but what sayeth the forumites? Is it right to continiously strive to remove aggression from our social interactions or should snitches get stiches? The 51yo man didn't get the young girl jailed.. ...The young girl did that to herself The streets did it to her before she did it to him So because she grew up in London she had to have a shit attitude and be gangsta to survive ? Give me a break London contains 5 of the UK's 10 most economically deprived areas. That's ok then, let's let anyone from those five areas break the law and have a get out of jail free card Ps I bet the parents bringing up there kids to be good citizens in those five areas love people basically saying your life's over if you're from here as you can't possibly be a productive member of society. Why do some many people struggle with the concept of probability? I struggle with people making excuses for wrong behaviour. If you want to change your life it's got to come from within yourself. Probability isn't an excuse it's a fact." Honest question for you, do you think these people should be let off crimes ? | |||

Is it right to continiously strive to remove aggression from our social interactions or should snitches get stiches? The 51yo man didn't get the young girl jailed.. ...The young girl did that to herself The streets did it to her before she did it to him Oh for gods sake that is the most ridiculous of a the ridiculous statements you have made on this thread! Everyone has choices on how to behave, everyone has to live by the choices they make. She had a history of aggressive behaviour and chose not to change her ways. How many get out of jail free cards does someone get? So just to be clear, you deny upbringing or socio-economic status make it more probable that an individual will make bad choices and become involved in incidents such as these? A constant cycle of being subjected to that desensitised her to how to behave yes I accept that. But 2 wrongs don't make a right. She is now inflicting that upon other people. She's not in abject poverty by the look of it? How many children in Malawi are randomly behaving like that simply because they have nothing? But at what point in this story is a right going to occur? Do you honestly believe prison will reform her? I thought the sentence was irrelevant in this debate? You seemed to and I apologise if I'm mistaken, be claiming that Jeremy Vine, being an affluent successful individual had a duty not to report it and help the supposed victim of society? Prison may well not reform her. But she won't be assaulting anyone whilst there? I'm saying he would have been the bigger person if he extended the hand of friendship (after the event) to try and use his privilege to help turn her life around. I think he's more interested in making a point about cyclists vrs drivers as evidenced by him refusing to move over and stopping in the middle of the road. Okay looking at it objectively I can actually see your point. The trouble is, it's hard when faced with aggressive behaviour to react in such an altruistic manner? Maybe he could with hindsight have simply avoided her, but she could also have behaved differently? Let's face it we all make motoring mistakes. We can honk the horn and scream abuse, OR we can ease off the accelerator and let the person who pulled out in front of us carry on without incident. I don't think it's fair to introduce her background in the hood as a factor. Many in the hood, like to brag about it as a status! Not somewhere to aspire to escape from sadly I totally get that in the moment you aren't going to have nice thoughts and he was above average calm in the video. I just meant that maybe he could have approached her later and offered to drop the charges if she shows a bit of remorse and does something positive to improve her circumstances. " OK I understand that, and the judicial system does facilitate firms of reconciliation. Maybe some of us haven't fully grasped your point that you're debating. But we are all responsible for our behaviour and we have to face the consequences for actions. | |||

"I often get into these arguments with friends and I'm always torn. I enjoy off road cycling, love it infact. I find cycling on Tarmac boring and mundane, but as a cyclist, I understand why people do it. As someone who drives hundreds of miles a week, I see 3 different types of cyclists, the ones who follow the rules as they should, the ones who follow none of the rules, and the worst ones, the ones who follow which ever rule suits them the most, they are unpredictable and the most dangerous. I've lost my temper with cyclists before for being careless and even dangerous, because if I hit a cyclist, it's not going to hurt me, it could easily kill him/her I don't know the full story, but if he was being reckless and she had a go, then good for her, if she was just being a dick then see ya later Bit of both. He was determined to make a point about why he needed to cycle in the middle of the road and not especially fast and she was impatient. " Still hard to make an accurate judgement without seeing what happened. But I'd say it's better to be sat behind a cyclist in middle of road (ready to turn right) than to see one swerve across 2/3 lanes of traffic to get there | |||

No but I'm also not comfortable having hundreds of thousands of people with no real prospects of a normal life and hence a perpetual cycle of crime that i am both at risk of and paying for. Two factors account for the lions share of whether an ex-con will re-offend; whether they can get a job and have a stable relationship. The problem is that ex-cons are lepers in the job market which has not exactly been that good for anyone in the past 8 years. Having watched a panorama documentary about our prison system, i have zero confidence it will do anything to rehabilitate her. | |||

"For clarity one month of her sentence was for road rage. The other 8 were part of a suspended sentence for among other things ABH. I'm not sure if the OP is ignoring your post because this fact is inconvenient or for another reason. She was not jailed for 9 months for simply shouting her mouth off, her sentencing which this conviction activated included convictions for theft, assault and resisting arrest. She deserved what she got as she clearly hadn't learned from her previous indiscretions. Wether JV should have reported her or just turned the other cheek is a separate issue but considering her history I would suggest it was fortunate he did report her. I didn't comment because it doesn't effect my point. I never said the sentence was wrong. I have no complaints about the way the court or police dealt with it. I'd rather it didn't go to them in the first place or he dropped it after he'd made his point. " It does effect your point because I quote your original post; "woman has now gone to jail for 9 months for "threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour" That is not correct, she has gone to jail for 9 months for threatening and abusive behaviour plus Assault, Theft and Resisting Arrest. If you are going to try and make a point then you can't use incorrect information to set the context. As for not reporting it, I would say reporting someone who is guilty of assault, theft and avoiding arrest for further aggressive behaviour is doing the public a favour. If she hadn't received the previous convictions I'm sure she would have walked away with just a caution, nobody to blame but herself. Oh yeah and the hood of course I will resist from following this thread any further as it's distracting me from looking for a fuck | |||

"Just seen the video on you tube. at one point the road is wide enough for him to pull over a little and let her pass it was almost like he was looking for a confrontation with the car driver . Agree, they were both to blame It's called the primary position. It's recommended by the highway code and police "When riding in the primary position, trainees should travel at a reasonable speed, as part of the traffic flow. If, however, traffic is building up behind them and the road ahead is clear, they may wish to move to the secondary position to avoid obstructing other road-users unnecessarily." Jeremy actually stopped in the middle of the road to tell the woman he was allowed to be in the road ( which he was ) making the car behind having no choice but to stop.... when he could have moved over about another yard further down the road I am not sure thats in the highway code It's a long time since I've watched thay video and find Vine repulsive enough to have no desire to watch it again That said Vine's actions are fairly hard to defend. He is undeniably antagonistic and dies nothing other than exacerbate the situation. In his defence itvis fucking terrifying when an ahressive motorist starts shouting at you, cars are an effective and deadly weapon and too many motorists don't realise that. Personally I get the fuck away from angry motorists, in 30+ years of cycling I've been spat at, punched, driven at and on one memorable occasion thought I was in danger of being shot so I really can't be done with the confrontation so I'd have got our the way and let her get passed as a preservation tactic and just for the quiet life. " Exactly, most people would have let the impatient idiot go past them when they could move over, he chose not to and stopped dead in front of her to let her know he had the right of way up to that point. I personally think he was being an arse, but she obviously didn't help herself. @It's a long time since I've watched thay video and find Vine repulsive enough to have no desire to watch it again | |||

"I'm slightly confused as to why the offender is being classed as someone who has had a shocking life, the mitigation mentioned in court covered domestic abuse in the past but I saw no mention of a horrific upbringing. The domestic abuse is of course terrible but that doesn't give anyone the excuse to abuse someone else. Secondly, I drive through London daily, cyclists can be annoying but have as much right to use the road as anyone else and are not expected to yield because a driver is in a rush. Lastly, this was not a first offence, she had previously received a suspended sentence for driving an unlicensed vehicle and if I remember rightly threatening behaviour, in the eyes of the court and rightly so in my opinion, they saw this is an individual with little respect for the law or others, who after being given a chance to amend their behaviour chose not too, who's to say next time she lost her temper it would be a vulnerable person who's life could have been seriously affected by the incident. I'm all for giving someone a second chance and taking mitigation into account but how many times do you excuse the inexcusable because someone has had a rough time. " | |||

"Be aware of forum rule: Threads we remove Threads containing racism, threats, nasty stuff like that will be removed and the posters banned or given timeouts. We also don't want discussions of serious illegal subjects like r*pe, child abuse, illegal drugs because inevitably someone will post about their own crimes / experiences of crimes and we can get hauled up in court to provide evidence. We do this for fun and we don't want the hassle, sorry. " Which of those have been discussed here?! | |||

I'm all for giving someone a second chance and taking mitigation into account but how many times do you excuse the inexcusable because someone has had a rough time. " Agreed. | |||

"Did you watch the video of the incident? People's thoughts will vary of course but you'll only feel more strongly if it's something that's happened to you. Only yesterday my wife had a taste of road rage from another driver, after he had cut her off almost hitting the front of her car, he sped away then slammed on, forcing my wife to swerve into the other lane, once she'd over taken him, he proceeded to speed up and tail gate her, slowing down then speeding up almost ramming into her, once they got onto a roundabout he undertook her on it and sped off, our son said he was actually on the phone when he did that. My wife was clearly upset by his actions as she felt very intimidated by his actions, the lad looked in his 20s and driving a focus, clearly a boy racer who doesn't give a toss about any other road user. Anyway, going back to your post, I've seen the video of the incident and she was a very impatient driver, her reaction was not warranted for the situation, regardless of it being against a man of that age, anyone on the receiving end of her abuse would have been clearly shaken." I drive an old beetle due to these drivers, stainless steel bumper make a nasty mess of their plastic cars. Also have a camera to show I stay just inside the law as well. | |||

" Vine didn't pull over to allow her to pass because there were cars lining both sides of the street and since when did the illegal act of sounding your horn aggressively mean that others should do your bidding ? " You are right. Both sides of the road had cars parked. Where the road then became clear of parked cars he stopped in the middle of the road to tell her he had the right of way in the previous few yards. He could have moved over and ignored her and she would have probably drove past , be it probably shouted at him out of the window....but then I suppose that wouldn't have give him a story for his show. | |||

" I'm glad he stood his ground. I feel that where the road cleared he could stop safely. He couldn't stop safely or pull over prior to that because of the parked cars on both sides. The bike and the car were sharing the same narrow middle strip but she wanted to pass instead of waiting for the few seconds. When he could stop safely he did. She left her car and approached him. He never approached her. She threatened violence and murder. He never threatened anything. She was eventually in front as she is videoed from behind further down the road. She stops at the junction. She gets out of her car and walks backwards to approach him. She threatens violence again. He is not blocking her way at all. She's in front. Now I get what you are saying.. that he could just let her pass and ignore it; 'be the bigger man' and 'just get on with his day'; put it all down to experience. Then she could just get on with attacking other people she's 'pissed off with.' I may not like him but he did the right thing in not accepting that we have to suffer incidents like this and just take it on the chin as an acceptable event in modern life. Her reactions to the media videoing and snapping her and her claim to be victim to haters and trolls is typical behaviour of a narcissist. She's done nothing wrong in her eyes. | |||

"I agree, he had the right of way. I agree she was an arse. I agree it doesn't hurt to stamp down on the road rage thing. I agree she was an arse even after the event. What I don't agree with was him stopping in the middle of the road . He could have pulled to the side at that point as he was just about to clear the parked cars but he chose to stop in the middle of the road to chastise her. If he didn't want to ignore her he could have chastised her after he had moved over. " Just watched the video for the first time and that was my thought. There was plenty of space for him to pull over, let her past and carry on with his day. At the point she started beeping she was completely wrong and so was the behaviour but it could have been ended much much quicker than it was. | |||

He tried to explain why he was riding like he was. Had he of moved over she'd have sped past and there wouldn't have been communication. That he stopped and spoke to her is one of the reasons I do not believe he was as intimidated as he claims. I'm still glad he did it tho. | |||

To be fair though, once she did get out of the car he might have been intimidated as she had lost it by then, but I don't think he was intimidated before that no. | |||

"I think we all need to take responsibility for our actions and its quite possible that if JV hadn't spoken to her, moved over etc this wouldn't have happened. But it did. For me its uncomfortably close to blaming him for her actions to say he shouldn't have done certain things. " I think he could have avoided any confontation yes. | |||

"She broke the law, the judicial system jailed her. Their ages aren't significant and people who report crimes aren't snitches. All in my opinion. Legally the case is a no brainer but morally did this need to be dealt with by the po po? The ages and frankly privileged lifestye of one are relevant to the moral case, if not the legal. Legally she is an adult responsible for her actions. However, scientifically we can prove that the neourological decision making processes are not fully mature at that age. His are. On that basis what do you think he did wrong? I'm suggesting he didn't need to go to the police about it. Write it off as one of those annoying things that you won't remember in a months time. so at what level of crime do you think it is acceptable to go to the police?...when its reached physical violence?..or just a threat?...she acted aggressively,could easily have caused an accident,i see no reason why his age or income is relevant at all. Personally my threshold would require physicality. Personally i think it is not becoming of a man to stand up in court and basically say that a young girl bullied you, unless it's ronda rousey. I see the relevance being the consequences the prison sentence will have on a young persons life and future prospects relative to a fairly mundane incident that happened to be on camera. " With any luck the prison time will discourage her from a future more serious crime where her life really would be fucked. | |||

"Another interesting perspective. Is an article in the daily mail (video of incident) , a couple of days ago. A male club bouncer, was approached aggressively, by a female, who then took a swing, with a "haymaker" style punch at him. He ducked & as he came back up again, instantly (reactionary) he punched her square in the jaw and she reeled from the blow. Staggered backwards, and didn't know what hit her so to speak. He was criticised on social media - but again, if a woman acts in that manner, why shouldn't a man respond? " Because of reasonable force? " If a woman, wishes to live a life of equality, with all the benefits (not referring to state handouts) then acts in aggressive manner, whether using her fists, or the control of a car, as her weapon, what difference, should her sex make? You can't have it both ways. Men, when faced with aggressive acts or dangerous incidents, placed before the courts, often, receive jail sentences. Women, usually receive suspended or ridiculously lenient sentences - for offences, which a man, would be serving time. " got a link for that? | |||

This incident - she tried every defence, denied, lied, and all that, but if you've ever been on the receiving end of some aggro, from a London based "patois pretender" (can be white or black) you'd understand the likelihood of gang references, being thrown into the insults. She earned that jail sentence, all by herself. " i completely agree she deserves her sentence, but disagree on one point...for crimes involving violence, women generally serve far longer sentences;it's still seen as so much more abhorrent than violence perpetrated by a man. | |||

"Just watched the video a couple of times . He could have pulled over quite easily and none of this would have happened . He keeps going on about how he has to be a cars width away , it sure what he means by that . But anyway , it's a narrow street , and he makes no attempt to let her past even when he can move over . " But there was no need for him to pull over. She had no priority over him just a sense of entitlement that she attempted to enforce aggressively. It's a suburban street which almost certainly has a 20mph limit. The delay caused is seconds. And there is a growing number of police forces targeting close passing motorists. There is no room to overtake on that road so the motorist has yo wait. That's the law. | |||

" Perhaps, you might consider reading, what was actually written, and the context, before throwing ignorant and unfounded claims, of "petulance" or "petty insults". I made no reference to anyone (unless, of course, you're well versed in the "pretend patois" generalisation, comment) purely coincidental. Innit. The bouncer video. It was published on the daily mail website, several evenings ago. I understood that, as it occurred, within days, it's unlikely to have been presented to any legal system, and unlikely again, to have been judged. It was stated, as a comment re Jeremy Vine's attacker and conviction. A woman's attitude to violence, in the context of his case, and how a different perspective, when a woman throws a punch, and a man reacts. The reaction of public (not a judge) to the punch. As for the comment re sentencing of women, who've committed criminal acts - and received lenient sentences, relative to men, with similar cases, its quite evident, in some circumstances, that, sentencing, is not of an equal gender basis. It's not, something that's "official guidelines" however, statistics, and cases and examples, in the news, are not difficult to find. It's simply a question of how hard one, looks, whether that's selectively or subjectively. I respectfully suggest, that when throwing out accusations of insults, on a public forum, the facts reflect reality, and for the benefit of many, try and inject some degree of wit and style. | |||
