Handing out a suspended sentence, Judge Richard Parkes QC said the act was 'plainly a dangerous thing to do' and 'passes the custodial threshold' but Al-Rawi poses 'absolutely no danger to the public' cycling
A motorist who drove with a cyclist on his bonnet following a dispute, prompted by the motorist hitting the rider with their vehicle moments earlier, has avoided jail.
Moments later a police van arrived on the scene, with an officer ordering Al-Rawi out of his vehicle, and arresting him. "Some verbal words were exchanged and the defendant ended up driving away, resulting in [the victim] being carried on the bonnet for about three car lengths. At sentencing last Thursday, Judge Richard Parkes QC said the act was"plainly a dangerous thing to do" and"passes the custodial threshold" but Al-Rawi poses"absolutely no danger to the public".
