it might just be that once you notice it you notice it more but I'm pretty convinced from looking at news reports from court action following cyclist/ped' deaths/serious injuries both here and in the UK (ex' but still whinging pom) that drivers with multiple disqualifications and a history of driving while disqualified feature a lot...as in really a lot - not competence related but attitude and/or often drug abuse related...the phrase "accidents waiting to happen" pops into my head but actually that is wrong they aren't accidents they are a predictable consequences from a disregard from societies norms...one unpredictable consequence is that these offenders are so bad that it seems to mean that just plain old fast, bad and unthinking driving by otherwise respectable people is dismissed as normal and doesn't merit any meaningful "punishment"...they keep their right to drive...the serious offenders just take it anyway ... no easy fixbychosis wrote:He obviously has no regard for driving legally, but I wonder how he originally lost the licence and whether he is actually competent behind the wheel.CaffeineAU wrote:Because that's obviously shown itself to be a very effective means of preventing him from driving...The serial law breaker, who is already banned from holding a licence until 2086, is expected to have even more years added to his time off the road when he is sentenced for his latest offence early next year.

TZIPORAH Malkah has been fined for driving erratically and coughing up the cash won’t be easy as it was revealed in court that the former model lives on just $200 a fortnight.
Tziporah says her six-year sex 'drought' is over
TZIPORAH Malkah has called on her star power in court after pleading guilty to a night of erratic driving in Melbourne when she reversed into a parked car.
Malkah, 44, the model formerly named Kate Fischer, pleaded guilty to the charges in Melbourne Magistrates Court on Friday and was fined $1500. Her lawyer Michael Kuzilny produced a glowing reference from celebrity agent Max Markson who said her behaviour was out of character.
The court was told that on January 3, about 5.35pm, two witnesses saw Malkah driving erratically through Toorak, hitting three roundabouts. One person followed her and called triple zero before Malkah reversed into a parked car.
Police soon arrived at her apartment and asked her five times to undergo a breath test, but Malkah said she needed to go to the toilet and disappeared inside.
Mr Kuzilny went on to say the star of the 1994 film Sirens was “very financially disadvantaged” and was ripped off in a $2 million Los Angeles real estate scam some years ago.
He added the former fiancee of James Packer now lived on a pension of $200 a fortnight.
Mr Kuzilny said Malkah returned to Australia in 2000, broke, and lived for a time in a women’s shelter where she completed a certificate in community service.
“Friends and family say it’s very much out of character for her,” Mr Kuzilny told the court of her driving offences.
“She’s very remorseful and wishes to give the court some confidence there will be no repeat behaviour.”
Malkah was fined and had her drivers licence suspended for 27 months. Malkah - who wants to become a nurse in Israel - said she intended to contest “police treatment” on the night in question, but would not elaborate on her plans.
“They did not approach me directly or honestly ... I really can’t go any further into it until I explore that avenue,” she told reporters outside court.
“I actually thought I was being pranked by paparazzi photographers (on the night).”
Mr Kulziny told reporters his client had a “beautiful heart”.
“This lady’s done so many great things for the community in such a selfish, hate-filled world, she’s dedicated herself to charities for domestic violence, women’s shelters,” he said.
“Deep down, she’s made a mistake but she’s got a beautiful heart.”

Why do people carry on about how dangerous cyclists supposedly are, when motorists can do this so easily, and cause so much damage? Our society is really messed up.

Report everything as with all those things he might need to use a bicycle once his licence is gone. People with attitudes like this should have no access to killing machines.
Hopefully he might get the message.

So who tipped him off? Should have waited, eventually he would have uploaded that video somewhere and then there would have been more evidence against him if crawf sends that video (and reports of him filming with mobile phone) to police.murbul wrote:He just disabled/hid his reviewssilentC wrote:https://www.facebook.com/MG-Yard-Mainte ... 603726073/

Now is the time to send your video in. Sadly, the police won't act in the next day or two UNLESS you physically went and handed it in.....Crawf wrote:He's pulled his whole FB page
Edit: He will just think we are bullies. But if the police go and talk to him, and it hurts his hip pocket (cancelling his fb page, i suggest it's already hurting him financially), he may learn
