Hit a woman this morning and got a fine

.

Sounds horrible. Did you lose it a bit with her? How did you get a fine if she was in the wrong?

What threatening and inappropriate actions did you use?

shame you didn't get to dish out some real pain on her for your £80

Like kicking her in the cunt.

You jsut got fucked by the law

shame you didn't get to dish out some real pain on her for your £80

at least a broken nose.

You just got fucked by the whore

fixed.

It is a defence for the accused to prove—

that he had no reason to believe that there        was any person within hearing or sight who was likely to be caused harassment,        alarm or distress, orthat he was inside a dwelling and had no        reason to believe that the words or behaviour used, or the writing, sign        or other visible representation displayed, would be heard or seen by a person        outside that or any other dwelling, **or that his conduct was reasonable.

Harsh, I'm guessing there is more to this than your telling...
Was she crossing the street you were turning into? In this case you did have to give way to her, even if you had a green light. Anyway there are really very few situations were you can hit a pedestrian with the police watching and not get in some sort of trouble.

Can you appeal? £80's a lot to be paying if you're totally innocent. Riding conservatively or not....if she's steps out into moving traffic then you shouldn't be paying out shit. Appeal if you can.

Dang that sounds terrible!! The law only makes young men's lives worse. Honestly, I've never once called on the Law for help but time and again they have made my life worse, for no good reason.

On the other hand, as you said, tone it down in the city. I mean, turning right you still managed to hit someone, how did you not see her or how fast were you going?

Sorry to hear about your pain and the woman sounds like a real prick.

Peace

Was the fine for hitting her or for swearing etc at her after it happened?

Oh dear. Come on chaps. Hate reading some of these comments...

Id feel totally done, would be furious!

Some ditzy girl started to walk dozily across the street at a point just before a junction where I was accelerating to join the traffic.

She was on the phone and seemed to be looking every way but the direction of oncoming traffic.

I shouted watch out which got the attention of her friend but the dozy girl was lost in conversation, I had to try real hard not to judge her movements in a nanosecond and only missed her by mm's I had my hand out ready to push her over as I was really expecting a collission.

I would not have accepted that fine off the police, you gotta stand up for yourself man. Just cos shes a crazy bitch dont mean shes right.

If the police were on foot you shouldve never had stopped (unless the woman didnt seem such a bitch) and as you did stop you gotta be prepared for a battle. They cant reasonably keep you in a cell if everyone accepts that she walked into the street at a green light!

pajamas... *some*times?!

Do not pay the fine.
Elect to go to court.
(If it goes to court, which isn't likely)
Put on a suit.
Explain to the Magistrate truthfully what happened.
Yes you shouted for which you apologise, but you had been under stress as you had feared for your life and hers as the traffic bared down upon you both.

That is what I would do personally.

? We're on their side, we're cyclists too! Its just everyone wants to know what was threatening about their behaviour or even if it was at all. If not, seems like the coppers have seen a defensively agressive suit, seen a flustered cyclist, and gone for the easy option.

coming from the man, who's spent a night in the clink for riding dangerously and trying to outrun the police. ha!

sorry Skull, I deleted what I figured was a rather garbled series of platitudes..

It was more a response to this... 'Like kicking her in the cunt.' And 'you got fucked by a whore'. I agree the fine is wrong etc...

I only meant: the nobs always win.

I went to court for that and got let off scot-free.
Mike payed the fine.

The magistrate just looked at the papers and said, "I don't know what you are doing here this morning".

Ha back!
