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).

Classic entitlement and ego. In different scenarios, Darwinism would remove the drivers genes from the gene pool

I applaud the dude for doing this, really, but I honestly wouldn't be ready to throw my life away that easily. Imagine the situation if this was in the US instead of the UK and someone was carrying.

Imagine if it was all exactly the same… but the driver used the accelerator for an extra couple of seconds.

One’s choice assuming one has no dependents I suppose (but wouldn’t want to grow up without a father for this incident in particular)

Police show up

"Sir, this is a bike lane."

This was satisfying to watch

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.

Hard to say what the police would've done in the US of A

[–] Outwit1294@lemmy.today 31 points 4 days ago (1 children)

They would have put the cyclist in jail

After a bit of a beating, the violence of which is scaled by skin color, of course.

In British parlance 'what a cunt'

Why is it always the kind of person you think it's gonna be? I mean, always. One can match the level of inconsiderable idiocy from car models alone.

Imagine knowing you're wrong and persist and insist this much in continuing to do the wrong thing in front of everyone, so that everyone can behold the thing that everyone knows that is wrong for you to be doing, and you still continue to do the wrong thing that you know that everyone knows that you know that is wrong to do. No? Hurts your brain, doesn't it?

Now... Why is his license plate blurred in the video? Does this level of inconsiderate behaviour deserve that level of consideration in return?
