@Geordiecringle1@MikeyCycling The law in respect of using a mobile phone while driving does not have a ‘reasonable excuse’ defence other than if calling emergency services.
@Geordiecringle1@MikeyCycling Do enlighten me on the law that you would bring a claim under as I’m not aware of the law where you can sue for damages while committing an offence.
@Boenau The image clearly illustrates a driver cannot make the turn when the cyclist is in sight and at sensible speed. In reality, a cyclist lingers driver’s blind spot & doesn’t like to apply their brakes
@DrLukeCraddock Starting salaries are generally low due to the fact that the employer pays for & provides further training on the job. Tuition fees only cover a fraction of a doctors’ training.
@michaelblackcab No, it is still important to educate people that violence is never the answer & that people should manage their anger appropriately. Merry Christmas 🎄
@michaelblackcab Agree, those that give middle finger or verbal abuse take the risk of becoming victim but the person that physically assaults takes the consequence. I usually just shrug it off when someone gets verbal because in my martial arts, calmness is key.
@michaelblackcab Not that it is entirely relevant, I have given someone the middle finger once. But giving verbal or gestures does not give anyone the right to physically assault someone - one is an offence, the other generally isn’t.
@michaelblackcab I practise martial arts but I don’t go round assaulting people when someone flicks the bird. Real world has consequences for those in the wrong.
@PeterSweden7 That we know of. Intelligence services do intercept plots before they happen. Both UK & Germany are very influential countries. France also. Hence why they are targeted, to make a political point.
@SloopyTexas@LevettRoblev1@I_amMukhtar No trial took place. The defendants will have attend plea hearings with counsel to enter their plea. They pleaded guilty so the case is then listed for sentencing. Why is that so difficult to understand?
@KevinTheGerbil_@I_amMukhtar Two wrongs don’t make a right. The fact that a police officer used excessive force on a restrained suspect does make the case less straightforward. An ex cop on this thread would of course say otherwise.
@SloopyTexas@I_amMukhtar Many pleaded guilty to the charges put to them so the case would move straight to sentencing. Don’t see how this is relevant to the thread topic.
