Please report dangerous drivers to the police - Roadsafe. Report to plod, not just whinge here.

Fucking hell, a 12-month ban and 100 hours community service.

Kinda depressing how people get killed for less than that.

He should have hit someone, he'd have got off.

It's mandatory for all community sentences.

Makes sense thanks for clearing it up

Just reported Jeremy Clarkson for use of phone while driving.

https://mobile.twitter.com/JeremyClarkson/status/421676710107811841?screen_name=JeremyClarkson

Description of driver " Caucasian, pot belly, trousers pulled too high, dark curly hair "

He'll just say it was a camera.

Where did he think he was going to go? The woman has just finished crossing over the zebra crossing and there's a Give Way junction about 5 yards beyond.

Apparently the cyclist photographed has responded:

In conclusion, Jeremy Clarkson is a proper full on cunt, and it isn't just a tv persona.

Whodathunkit.

So it was a phone.

Hopefully it mean he'll get in trouble for using a mobile while driving

Drivers just don't know not only what cyclists are legally allowed to do but what represents sensible riding. It frustrates me so much as a relatively cheap ad campaign could change most attitudes easily.

Oh and Clarkson's a bell end. I feel sure he's had it explained to him a few times but he's a professional tool so no matter really.

Yeah but people who like him claim it's just an act and that he's actually really nice in real life.

Nope, he's a cunt.

Yeah but people who like him claim it's just an act and that he's actually really nice in real life.

Unless everyone who reads his tweets believes that it's just an act then the distinction is not relevant. Either way, at best he's promoting a culture of ignorance and intolerance.

The irony is that there is an ad campaign by TFL all over the place now that's trying to do just that, but nobody is paying any attention to it because we've all been conditioned to ignore advertising :/

I dunno what the answer is - a telly campaign, maybe? I don't think even that would make much of a dint in the attitudes of entitled chumps like Clarkson, though.

Yeah telly. I've said it before. Horses got more awareness ads on TV than people on bikes do.

5 minutes of explanation of cyclists rights and best practices on Top Gear would do wonders...

Someone should h4x0R Clarkson's twitter account and use it to post the facts.

I would think the usual audience would just be annoyed that they're being deprived of 5 minutes of pointless donuts on an air field, pale wash demin jeans, shit hair and borderline racist Dad-jokes.

Not to mention Clarkson owns the format so, yeah.

Flipping Nora!

Shit, I just made that joke in another thread.

Fucking hell. Hope motorcyclist is ok.

Yeah, I'm hoping the lack of a mention in the tweet means they are, however unlikely it looks from the flaming bike. I'd guess they got thrown from it before it blew up.

Whatever it was in the tweet, it got taken down.

Eh? still there.
