A MOPED rider who lashed out at two people in road rage incidents within a few minutes of each other has been jailed for 18 months.

Jayce Simms, 23, of Regina Road, South Norwood, temporarily blinded a motorist in his sixties and then punched another driver.

Alan Muir was driving along Stafford Road, in Waddon, at around 12.20pm on June 20 last year.

He pulled up at traffic lights at the Fiveways junction, in Croydon, and Simms, on his Gilera motorcycle, stopped in front of him.

It was not revealed in court what had enraged Simms, but he sprayed a corrosive liquid in Mr Muir's face, briefly blinding him.

The contents turned out to be nine per cent pure ammonia.

Simms left the scene and soon afterwards in Morland Road, Addiscombe, cut in front of Kevin Field, who was driving with his wife.

Mr Field told a jury that Simms was driving erratically and he had to slam on his brakes to avoid hitting him.

He got out of his car and Simms walked towards him before punching him in the face.

    “Ammonia is a gas. Dissolved in water it becomes ammonium hydroxide, maximum concentration about 35% ammonia. But yes, 9% pure ammonia is meaningless.”

    “9% pure ammonia? Surely pure ammonia is 100%? If its not 100%, then its not pure.”

    “I agree with Legin. I think liberalism is a bit like Marxism, it's a great idea but in practise it's not that simple.

    Bring back capital punishment, do not apply Human Rights laws to those who do not abide by them.

    Prison is no place for rehabilitation. That's just congregating individuals with anti-social viewpoints together and expecting them to somehow start caring and talking about economic reform. It's nonsense.”

    “Actually you're wrong there Test Man. He often refers to himself as "Snoop Doggy Dog" in even his most recent albums.”
