Mister M   1,608 #1 Posted February 1, 2017 (edited) The lawyer of a woman who verbally assaulted the journalist and DJ Jeremy Vine, has pleaded to the judge to be lenient in his sentencing as she has been 'punished enough' already on Twitter. (Oh boo hoo)  Read more about the background story here (including footage of the altercation) http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3917242/Woman-driver-22-launched-foul-mouthed-road-rage-rant-BBC-presenter-Jeremy-Vine-cycled-home-denies-string-motoring-offences.html  http://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/driver-convicted-of-road-rage-offences-after-screaming-at-bbcs-jeremy-vine/ar-AAmu7iC?li=BBoPOOl  Personally I couldn't care less if people have had a go at her via twitter. Irrespective, the judge should ignore that and be harsh. I thought her behaviour was disgusting.

Irrespective, the judge should ignore that and be harsh. I thought her behaviour was disgusting. Of course the judge shouldn't be lenient on her because people have had a go at her on twitter.  One good thing about the high profile of this case is that a lot of otherwise unknowing people have been educated about where cyclists are supposed to ride on the road.

biotechpete   10 #3 Posted February 1, 2017 Given she has already received a suspended sentence in 2012 for assault & ABH she clearly hasn't learned a lesson. What else are we to do with people who believe they can act however they like to others in our society with impunity? I hope she gets a stay at HM pleasure. http://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/driver-who-made-gun-gesture-at-jeremy-vine-in-road-rage-row-faces-jail-a3455351.html  That being said, any other cyclist and the police would refuse to investigate and she would have got away with it. Probably she will receive a non-custodial sentence as a single mother of a young child. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

geared   303 #5 Posted February 1, 2017 She was already under a suspended sentence, clearly hasn't learnt her lesson.  She was also making threats to others over Twitter while she was on trial. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
