Wow what a throbber
Did he offer any kind of defence/mitigation or ?
I find massively entitled cock driving on the increase, I almost wonder if it's a product of living in too-safe a society, I treat every stranger as someone that might be the wrong person to trigger for no good reason because they might give you a slap or worse and thought most people would, but the number of people you encounter that seem to desire to have a problem, this is in decline. Maybe because I've experienced somewhat unsafe situations and most just don't today?

Sentencing more robust than I expected, even though the system seems to persecute motorists more than most. Disappointed that the sentence was suspended but the fine, ban & community service will sting a bit.
I expect him to get a lot of stick from the local community but would love to see what happens when he needs a doctor or A&E.

I would love to meet this bloke and ask him what the fk he through he was doing, then chin him as hard as possible.
But, I wouldn’t obstruct his ambulance, good god what is the pint of this bloke, I feel disgusted with myself if I don’t get out of the way in like two seconds of seeing and emergency vehicle.
Maybe fit bull bars to ambulances and give the drivers powers to do a tactical shove out of the way.
