I'll email you the pic.
It's surely what email was invented for. What could be more urgent than a man's need to see an image of a stranger's penis?
Not sure how the bank will view this...
I know people get really excited when they get to feel like a real investigator (by googling someone's name)
But seriously, wtf has this got to do with anything ?
Trim.

Is it cos despite all the champagne lifestyle bollox (which gives him right to run lesser people off the road), as well as having a tiny cock he's actually insolvent, which might explain the slight temper.
conversely anyone without a public profile can continue to be a **** with impunity - certainly if it's driving related.The changing world around us and people need to modify their behaviour to fit it....if you're going to have a publicly visible profile on twitter, Facebook etc then you need to behave accordingly...
Society seem to have picked up on the fact that cyclists can get a bit nowty on social media when riled (don't annoy us, you won't like us when we're angry) but highlighting the vulnerable nature of cyclists, pointing out the crapness of our judicial system when it comes to road incidents and a passive/aggressive threat of "wrong us and we'll give you a social media kicking when the courts fail to" is one thing, bullying/which hunt is another, it's a fine line to tread and when it's the general public doing it you know a sizeable minority will stray.
Pointing out the nutter in question has posted up pics of his tiny tackle whilst very funny is more towards the bullying end. it's not going to help with his anger management issues either.
Uses his phone illegally whilst driving too
Wonder where he got the inspiration for these from?

Not really no.
The phrase
"I wonder how the bank will view this"
Implied that the Bank would somehow care about this incident. (They won't)
Excited Internet sleuth expects everyone to be as excited about his amazing findings as he is.

The Independent have got hold of it now.
Nothing to add to the original incident, but I read this a couple of weeks ago:
and you can't help feeling a little uncomfortable about how social media can really go into meltdown.
Not condoning aggressive and stupid action by any means, but there's something a bit unsettling about trial by internet. Book's worth a read, Ronson's a good writer.
He's a jumped up little nutter. Bit of shame won't do him any harm.
It shouldn't be acceptable to go around behaving like that.
Maybe he was having a bad day.
It would be interesting to know why he was so angry.
I think the cyclist was in the wrong place at the wrong time when the driver did a foolish thing.
Driver shouldn't have gone ape shit crazy but I'm very sure theres more to this story than we see in this video.
To ruin someones whole life, have his home address put online, his wife and kids named, his whole business put in jeopardy, is this the way society now deals with tis kind of thing?
But when a footballer attacks a guy in a bar in front of many witnesses and gets away with as he "thought he was about to be attacked" (Gerrad) that's fine and still treated as a hero by many or when another footballer (Evans) rapes a drunk girl she gets named and mocked on social media. Someone didn't get a hot meal so assaulted a fellow worker - who had to seek medical help - and over a million people sign a petition not to get him fired.
There's something wrong with the system.

I can't agree with you.
Gerrard didn't get away with it - he ended up charged and in front of a jury, where he was cleared in the same way as thousands of others. The difference is that through the media (social and conventional) his case was widely known about whilst most folk in the same situation would have gone unnoticed.
Same with the Evans case - yes, his victim should have never been named publicly but the power of social media has made Evans unemployable after serving his sentence in a way that would not have happened to an unknown person convicted of the same crime.
In years gone by when most folk lived small lives in a small community where everyone knew everyone the consequences of antisocial behaviour was obvious - you would get shunned by your immediate community which would have a profound effect on your life. A kind of self policing of behaviour if you will. We now live in a much bigger world where we expect a certain amount of anonymity when we do stupid things through sheer volume of numbers. I guess social media has just evened up the consequences a little.
they don't say what 'public order offence' he was done for - probably a fixed penalty ticket for s5
Should have been done for affray!
The thing that's most heartening about this story is the fact that, for once, the DM online isn't occupied with malicious anti -cycling comments. OK there are still a fair few but this seems like a slight shift to me. The formerly unimpeachable motorist can now be held to task by their peers for being utterly awful.
The judicial system in the UK occasionally delivers punitive sentences to make an example out of individuals to dissuade others from doing the same thing. If the same thing happened here, perhaps he gets the wrath of social media and loses his livelihood As a cyclist, I wouldn't mind if this happened. Not that it will. I am slightly uneasy about 'trial by social media' but It'd make up for all the other times when people get off scot-free.
The rise of social media and the ability to publicly shame someone like this is fascinating and disturbing for sure. In this instance It's hard to feel bad for the guy though, especially if there is any truth in this chaps tweets
MOBILE.TWITTER.COM So you're fine with one guy being crucified because another got a way with it? Strange logic that.
dangerous thing. He drove his car at a vulnerable road user when he couldn't complete an ill judged manoeuvre (he could have hit the brakes instead but chose not to) then lost his shit when the cyclist complained ("Oh come on" I believe).I think the cyclist was in the wrong place at the wrong time when the driver did a foolish thing.
"foolish" is rather disingenuous
absativleyThere's something wrong with the system.
There is only one response in such circumstances..

STANDARD.CO.UK Interesting point highlighted by that Indy headline. He only didn't do something he wasn't supposed to because there were witnesses. I wonder what he gets up to in his kitchen when there is nobody to witness what he is doing (or those who do are directly employed by him) - irrespective of your feelings about this, would you want to eat in a place run by somebody who only feels constrained in his actions by the presence of witnesses?

If anyone's curious about 'that photo' just look at @AnarchoBarista on Twitter. There's also some interesting opinions and stories about Jason Wells. Sometimes, the feeling of schadenfreude may well be justified... #boycottbrew is also a good search term.
No apologies accepted once the pitch forks are out and the torches are lit 😆
Of course. He's sorry it's going to affect his life/money/etc. I doubt he's actually sorry about trying to run the cyclist off the road.
Funnily enough, I've had a similar conversation on that road but going the other way and while both of us were still moving.
The behaviour on that video certainly isn't inconsistent with someone coked off their head... allegedly... those tweets are pretty damning if trueIf anyone's curious about 'that photo' just look at @AnarchoBarista on Twitter.

So what level of apology would work for the baying mob?
c'mon just how far should 'the mob rule' go? Two wrongs dont make a right. In my experience its truly very difficult to get somebody to truly see the world through your eyes and understand what they did wrong. They should certainly feel and show remorse to a believable level. Lance Armstrong has always failed on this count for me. But what would it take for you to forgive him?
I think he should be relieved of the privelege of being able to drive a car for a while. Being forced to ride a bike around London for a few weeks/months would do for me (that goes for any of these selfish thugs).
Just seen "the picture" on twitter, proper LoL 😆
So what level of apology would work for the baying mob?
One that comes across as genuine. Which admittedly risks it being managed by PR but that's how these things work.
the evil thing would have been to mail it to his wife "found this on craigslist" 😉
What bloody pic? Is this some kind of secret joke thing, like Mornington Cresent?
I think it's the one of he scales on the twitter feed.
Go to the Twitter link on page 7. If you really want to see a middle aged mans willy.
Ah. Right. No ta. I take it it's far from impressive?
So what level of apology would work for the baying mob?
The real answer to this is, mobs don't accept apologies. No matter how genuine they might be.
There will always be a reason not to accept whatever is offered.
What bloody pic?
was removed form here, but was of a POV shot of gentleman stood on a set of scales.
The combination of physical deficiency and the perspective of the photo showed a reflection in the surface of the scales of a very small member
it's like Scaramanga's third nipple, but lower down.
Ah. Right. No ta. I take it it's far from impressive?
He's not really apologising for his actions, is he?
If this hadn't all blown up in his face, he'd still be quite happy with the Billy Big Bollocks act, driving aggressively, getting all 'come on then, son' and flinging globs of spittle all over the place.
He's probably regrets not realising there was a camera on him & he's sorry that he's been caught and outed on social media, not sorry for how he behaved....
I struggle to find sympathy that it's all gone a bit wrong for him on social media.
I love the irony of his coffee mornings/bike fixing sessions.....
Yeah, he had ample time to apologise in the previous two weeks since the incident, and he chose not to. This apology is completely insincere and no doubt motivated by damage limitation. Oh well.
Of concern is that I'd never heard of 'Brew' cafes before, and now the name is all over Twitter. There's no such thing as bad publicity...
So you're fine with one guy being crucified because another got a way with it? Strange logic that.
That's not what I said. Having your business (slightly) damaged and your manhood mocked on Twitter is not even really a fair punishment for attempting to injure someone and then the intimidating verbal abuse / threats etc. People shouldn't be able to go around doing that sort of thing.
On a slightly different note, I wonder what would have happened had the police had been called at the time of the incident. I suspect they would have drug-tested him. Who knows what the outcome would have been after that, but it's a minimum year driving ban for driving while coked up. Which is all, of course, entirely speculative.

Maybe someone should take a mangled bloodstained wreck of a bike in and ask for a quote to repair.
Apparently someone on twitter is going to organise a 'die-in' outside his café/bar establishments.
The aftermath of this will hopefully be a new found respect of cyclists by drivers. Unfortunately this may be because they're scared of being filmed but it will have the same effect. How ever it happens I welcome it. Stick or carrot (s****), I care not! I recommend every cyclist buys a fake camera and wears a 'CCTV' sticker/patch/badge front and rear.

Well to be fair (I'm trying with great difficulty to be) there was no obvious opportunity for him to do so publicly until the video became public. Though the fact he had a spokesperson "no comment"ing after the video came out, but before the shitstorm really hit doesn't look so good.

Interesting and plausible speculation - it would explain a lot about his behaviour.
Just watched the vid..not read the 8 pages of comments
Whilst Mr Wells is clearly an absolute nugget, I'm not sure that the cyclist involved came out with much credit either...
Both appear to have anger management issues
What is wrong with these people...
[quote=tpbiker ]Just watched the vid..not read the 8 pages of comments
I presume you don't think your point might have already been made and answered several times?
Are you claiming that on STW someone had a go at the cyclist in an altercation with a car driver who ended up being convicted of a public order defence.
What are the chances of that happening eh ?
