Angry Driver Attacks Cyclist... [NSFW - Swearing]

[Soup890]

Where was the cyclist swearing at the driver?

The driver said so?

 

[glenn forger]

Are you really this stupid? Why not read the thread, then post?

 

[Soup890]

I did, I did. So the cyclist didn't call him it??

No not at all. Violence is wrong on all levels. I'm just saying if you call someone a name you best be ready to roll up your sleeves.

As Glenn said, read the thread, better still read the description in the original youtube video. The rider simply asked the driver not to drive into the ASL whilst he was still there waiting at a red.

And sometimes a swear word does slip out depending on the incident. Dont forget a wideangle lens also distorts the distances involved.

I understand what you are saying. I'm no tough guy, and I'm not a trained fighter. So I know my capability. If someone cuts me up I just keep quite. I'm not getting jaw rocked for a simple slip of the tongue.

He must of provoked the driver for him to warrant the confrontation.

 

[glenn forger]

bloody hell.

 

[Soup890]

That is not always the case.

 

[Soup890]

That is not always the case.

Please explain?

So your telling me some people regardless of who they are. Just threaten people for no reason. They just wait at the side of the road saying "call me a self-gratification artist"

Yes.
Some car drivers don't need an excuse to have a go at a cyclist.

[QUOTE 2992942, member: 30090"]I'd say that any driver who parks their car and then walks back up the road 50 or so yards to have a barney has issues and does not need 'provoking'.[/QUOTE]
I'm not on the side of the driver or cyclist.

So the driver thought; there's a cyclist let me have a go.

 

[Soup890]

Yes.

So now your telling me a cyclist is a number target to let drivers get their frustation out on them. Just like a stress ball.

Bad analogy, mate . Cyclists in general tend to be healthier than the hard-core motorists, and we're slimmer. Some motorists tend to resemble stress-balls, due to lack of exercise: poor things, it's a pity that they're stuck in that mindset.

Yep I see what you mean. I got called a "stick insect" at work by a over weight women because I did not want to eat the cakes which are brought in by someone on a daily basis.

But if we cyclists are fitter and healthier. Does that mean we stand a chance in a good old fashion fist fight??
