// If the black woman who got "beeped" at found it racist / offensive, then it was exactly that. // Spath appears to be saying something ridiculous here, and indeed he is, but in actual fact he's just stating the position of the law. The police are obliged to investigate any incident that the accuser defines as being racist. "He looked at me in a way I interpret as...

sunny-dave - // re we now in the ridiculous situation where if I hoot at a black person for dawdling then it can be a hate crime, but if the positions are exactly reversed and they hoot at me it cannot be a hate crime?
If that is true then "The Law is an Ass". //
As I understand it, you have exactly the same recourse to this badly worded law, for exactly the same reasons, so if you want to go ahead and see something that isn't there, this bad law will support you.

I apparently must be racist then as there is an Asian Taxi driver who regularly parks his taxi so no-one can get past it down a very narrow, not much used, street in our town. I beep him when I want to get past and he comes out and moves it. I don't beep him because he's Asian I beep him because he's parked like a Turnip. He clearly understands that bc he puts his hand up and yells 'sorry'.
Why is there no common sense anywhere it seems?

I must admit, it is one of my pet hates when people sound their horn needlessly and illegally, like this woman did.
// The Highway Code stipulates that drivers should only honk their horn when their car is moving or they need to warn others of their presence. ... The Highway Code also states drivers must not sound their horn aggressively, while stationary on the road //
If she wanted to tell the other driver off for being slow, she should have got out of her car and talked to him. But of course she isn’t going to do that.

There are plenty of ways, and you know it -
You wear green every day, your car has a tricolour flying from your radio arial, you have red hair and green eyes, and you don't walk down the street, you dance in a cod-Flatley style. You really should be prefacing every post with 'To be sure ... ' to avoid confusion.
I do wish you'd stop being difficult!!!!!

"Spath....if laws are meant to keep the peace this one is going to have the opposite effect with disastrous consequences.... :-("
I agree but the law that "if one takes offence even if none was intended then it is in fact racist" came up recently in a thread regarding dressing up as samuel L jackson. Even though no one meant offence, the fact someone took offence in a racial way made the situation racist. We, nor the lady peeping the horn can say how it made the black lady feel. If she felt it was racist, then apparently it was.
I do not agree with this law, at all. In fact i think it makes people vulnerable.
