Police issued a caution!
Council allowed him to keep his licence in spite of footage. WTF
good old British justice

And whats all the more disappointing, is in that two minutes, not one person helped her pick her bike up.

Well there is that. What was he thinking butting somebody wearing a helmet, let alone someone in a flip front, with full evidence of being female.

org manhunt?
*note this is an obvious joke I would never organise a manhunt in an open forum, even though a man clearly has head butted a woman in the face and we know what car he drives.

I'd never recommend anything illegal but I don't see any reason that his life couldn't be plagued by incredibly slow riding motorcyclists for a bit.

Yeah, sounds like a plan. Wish I was closer.
But, remember. There could be more to this story, we dont know what happened before that footage started playing.
Still deserves a headbutt himself, if he is big enough to dish it out and BE ALLOWED TO. Thne somebody should be allowed to return the favour eh.

To be fair, she wasn't exactly bothered about picking it up so noone's going to touch it without her permission. In my experience, people only rush to help when they see you trying to pick it up. I wouldn't want randoms messing about with my bike, they'd probably pick it up and drop it on the other side! :rolleyes:
No idea what was going on, any ideas as to why he might have done it in the first place? Bang out of order either way obviously.

piano = good call
head butts = southerners? feck off idiot.
He don't give a **** about the damage he's done to the bike !!!!
she should have damaged his Fecking car...
Some one should have dented his car!!!
Crap my bloods boiling......

What a ****.
I'm pretty certain had there been a big bloke sat on that bike, he wouldn't have done that, I know how I'd feel if someone put me and my bike on the floor like this.
I'm more disturbed that even with compelling evidence, nothing got done.
Btw, don't get in to fights with taxi drivers unless you have some back up, they all stick together especially the Asian ones, a guy that used to work at my last place got into an argument with a taxi driver, it proceeded into fisticuffs, then loads turned up and him and his mate got a right kicking.

Just to clarify I don't really think all southerners go round nutting lasses.
There's absolutely no need for it though.

Half of the blokes further south wouldn't want to mess up their hair or fake tan, so no worries about being headbutted lol
What a complete and utter scumbag, plain and simple. Total coward also as whether that's a woman or guy he knew he could get a cheap free shot it while they are on the bike.
As for punishment: the police caution is unsurprising, stab someone these days you get a caution...
But, as for the council letting him keep his licence, I am frankly astounded. The way I see it that's him on camera at his place of work. If I was to be caught on camera headbutting a member of the public for any reason whatsoever I can be completely sure i would be sacked within minutes, whether I was actually on duty or not. Even though the council are not technically their employers they surely must have some terms on which the licence is issued, and being clearly violent and willing to destroy others property while driving his licensed taxi MUST be in there somewhere...

Looks like what happened was ...
1. Cab driver does a ridiculous move like cab drivers are famed for. In this case either parking, waiting, or turning by fully blocking a junction.
2. Biker is held up. Probably toots him or something.
3. Cabby driver having a bad day gets out.
4. Apparently she calls him a short arsed ****, and then gets nutted.
My thoughts:
1. He nutted her because she had a helmet on, so he knew it wouldn't hurt her (otherwise quite frankly he would have to be a retard). Had she not had a helmet on, I don't think he would've done anything.
2. He couldn't have anticipated her dropping her bike. Probably pooed his pants when that happened, and seems calm from then on.
3. Why is it worse to headbutt a girl than a bloke? Equality people! If the right circumstances are met for a headbutt (e.g. close up spitting in my face), then man, child, woman or granny, I am nutting you!! :D

It doesn't matter, she's female.

Wearing a helmet, if she'd decided to nut him back with as much force I think he might have come off worse! :p

Really? That's completely irrelevant to me. Basically, don't be an aggressive nobber and don't hit people full stop. Making a distinction that it's ok to hit blokes in some situations where it's no ok to hit a woman makes no sense to me. If a situation is really so dire that you have to hit people, who gives a monkeys if it's a woman? Smack her in the face!
The "I don't hit women" code is just a rulebook for people who throw their fists around too much, or fancy themselves as a scrapper. At the point at which I'd actually throw a punch, man, woman, child, wheel chair, granny are all fair game!

When the camera pans left you see the entrance to some sort of compound, I'd bet my **** that the taxi driver (lets call him ***** from now on as its easier to type) so ***** comes in from the top of the screen to use the road where the biker is as a turning circle. The indicator on the bike is to turn left so again I would expect the biker approaches the junction, see's a taxi approaching who (lets give him the benifit of the doubt) is indicating to turn in. She reads this as he's making a turn, his intention is to actually use the road to perform a 180. I base this largely on the position of the car and that its wheels are at full lock, its also confounded by his later completion of said manouver all be it he performs this elsewhere as when he drives into shot to park on the opposing kerb he has now turned the car to face the way I believe he was trying to before.
Back to the events, As she realises his intention is to do the 180 he cuts across her path, she brakes, toots, yells etc etc the same sort of stuff we'd all do if we were cut off in such a fashion. From what I can see he has no reason to not see her but it seems safe to assume he didn't. Been an angry little **** he makes several unacceptable mistakes; leaves his vehicle, approaches the biker aggressively, obvious headbutt, returns with raised arms to the biker once, relocates his car & gets out again and continues yelling and gesticulating aggressively.
Another factor, the way the hi-viz guy stands in the road seems intentional as though he is blocking the driver from "doing one" The only reason someone would IMO do this is because they are of the perspective that the ***** is likely to do a bunk as they're not acting rationally. He puts himself in the road to prevent the driver leaving the scene. Well done that man.
IMO this is: Driving with out due care and Assault, ***** should have lost his taxi licence, drivers licence and been convicted of said assault. I put it to all bikers in the area, if you get a taxi and a short guy driving a Mondeo turns up savage the ****er.

+1 that's a f***ing joke from the coppers, come on lads sort it out.
What about a load of complaints to the areas council and press about this jam roll? I bet the council would take note if the local papers ran a story about how the council encourage assaults on lone females.

See, this is what really ****s me off about all the nonsense about speeding. If people who did things like this and actually assaulted another person got their just deserts, it'd be easier to take it on the chin when you get a tug for speeding.
As it is, you quite frequently get more harshly penalised for speeding (irrespective of the fact you haven't actually crashed or hurt anyone) than you do for this sort of thing.
As to staying on the bike when someone is approaching after an altercation; I'd never do this. You want fight or flight. Flight; you're on a motorcycle, GTFO of there. Fight; hop off and put your bike on the stand and walk towards them. I really wouldn't fancy getting pushed off the bike and then getting a kicking whilst my leg was pinned under the bike.
Appalled!
If I lived locally I wouldn't want to be getting in a taxi with that fruitcake - very poor response by the local council and not exactly protecting his future passengers or other road users...

IN fairness I think she was pretty safe to assume a bloke isn't going to cause her physical harm. As is happens she was wrong, but its a pretty reasonable assumption to have made if you know what I mean lol.
Getting off the bike isn't really a wise thing to do unless you are actually prepared to go toe to toe with someone. Its OK to think you're calling someone's bluff but having a physical altercation with a stranger whilst sober is a totally different reality than you might expect. Yeah there is a certain element of willy waving and in some cases standing up to someone might be enough to change their mind, But if they're not bluffing and you confront them its only going to go one way, its exactly why I categorised him getting out of the car as a mistake.

If you hop off the bike you should assume a definite punch up is on the cards.
If you end up scrapping with a taxi driver your aim is to put them on the deck and turn them into a mush that is incapable of getting to their radio for long enough for you to get the f*** out of there before you're getting a kicking from their 35 cousins who share the one driving licence.
Flight; you're on a motorcycle, GTFO of there. Fight; hop off and put your bike on the stand and walk towards them. I really wouldn't fancy getting pushed off the bike and then getting a kicking whilst my leg was pinned under the bike.
The best defence is a good offence.
Don't try to kick people as you ride past, it hurts like buggery and might make you fall off.
If you can find a way to stow a decent security chain it may be useful. The same with a big f*** off D lock clipped down the side of the frame or something.
Don't get any silly ideas about waiting around for the forces of law and order. Taxi drivers ethnicity will doubtless attract a large crowd of savages who can be most unfriendly, and will all be too happy to provide perjurious witness statements despite arriving at the scene late. Some gutless c**t of a desk driving copper will then decide it's your fault. Camel sha*ger who you've just defended yourself against will get compensation and an apology.

There is only one objective in fighting - put them down and keep them down as swiftly and effectively as possible, no matter what their profession.

I think there were suggestions that the camera was automatically panning before being taken over by an operator.

Firstly blocking the flow of traffic is an offense (causing an obstruction) and Driving without due care.
Also assault
Come on Police sort it out before someone plunges him. I give that taxi a week from new year before its trashed (as I give this video a week to do all the UK forums)

Bang on. The first move where it moved to the other side of the building is a preset location (usually to monitor exits to buildings etc), it then tracks the movement in the street before being taken over by an operator.
We have them at work.
