He doesn't need a ticket. They should seize his car and sell it and take his license forever.
I'm thinking the appropriate punishment is being drawn and quartered...except between four cybertrucks.
He smacked the cyclist with his car, twice, on purpose, while in a bike labe he drove into, also on purpose.
If this was Denmark he'd lose his car and the license to even own one.
He should lose his life. He threatened to kill him TWICE with his vehicle while he was in the wrong and actively breaking the law, he has no right to live. Hang him and throw him in a trash heap
In British parlance 'what a cunt'
At first I thought surely this is staged for the video (what social media makes us question these days) but the police showing up made me believe. What an idiot driver.
To the UK's credit, police will prosecute drivers using video evidence, so "CyclingMikey" does this stuff all day long.
But... He has to go to work, you guys. SMH my fucking head.
You're shaking your head your fucking head?
Nice. The word “fucking” here isn’t an adjective, it’s a verb.
What other kind of head would you shake?
damn right
I was hoping the cyclist would lose his balance and fall on the hood of the car when he was rammed. Not that I want the cyclist injured, of course, but damage to the precious car? I'm all for that.
I had a road rage incident while I was out riding yesterday - I was in the middle of the lane passing some pedestrians. Note, this is a country road, and there's no sidewalk or even shoulder. It's a pretty popular cycling route, but it's the first time I've seen people walking there (I'm not even sure where they were going). Some jackass rolled up right behind me and blew the horn, as I was next to the pedestrians. I gave the "what the hell" gesture, then after I passed the pedestrians, I moved closer to the right edge of the lane, and he swerved over to run me off the road.
Set a few PRs after that incident. lol Later, the rear derailleur cable broke, and I got rained on, so the end of the ride was less great than the rest of it (which was a pretty good ride aside from those incidents).
This is why I applied for a conceal carry permit because I want a gun on myself legally when I’m biking.
In case someone is frustrated with traffic on the way to work so you have no choice but to personally murder them?
