This is why I seldom approach someone unless I feel safe and confident. And I can handle myself, I just don't boast about it and I NEVER under-estimate anyone, man or woman.
The guy raging in this video from all accounts is a family man with the same interests many of us have. But as this video shows you put people in cars and things can happen. The situation can change quickly and you could be literally fighting for your life. I've had bikes in the past and had people spraying lemon juice in my eyes and forcing me off the road for a laugh. I have had to use force and it's not nice, not for most decent people anyway. It's nothing to boast about. This driver, I think they are very lucky they came across such a placid cyclist. There is no excuse for driving like that in my opinion and certainly no excuse for turning to violence in this manner. The cyclist was no threat to anything but his anger and his ego.
I would suggest the cyclist get a horn and some more cams. I would commend them for not approaching the driver and not using rude hand signals, swearing or shouting. Some of that 'could' be mitigated in a court on account of the threat posed by the driver, but you can bet your bottom dollar his defense would try and use any and every avenue to get him off the hook and that's just what they go for. Not easy trying to take the moral high ground and defend yourself though, which is why I don't approach people and why I don't under-estimate anyone these days..
Absolutely disgusting driving. Very dangerous and making un necessary noise I have reported this car and driver now for the car noise and the manner of driving. Parents of his should be ashamed and take his car away
It is taxed.....
