Is there any need for this?

Silver car is a pushy little twonk, look at how close he comes to the first car on his left... richly deserved but that sort of thing doesn't stop idiots being idiots though !

in all honesty im glad the cyclist did what he did i'd rather see a wing mirror knocked across the road than a cyclist and maybe next time the silver car driver decides he/she owns the road they will think twice incase something else is attacked namley themselves

Not wishing to condone criminal damage, but that was some side-swipe. It looks like it took the mirror clean off. The incident seems a huge over-reaction to the little BMW starting to encroach on the space. It does look like there was something going on with it and the black car - the BMW was pretty much touching the other car before it turned off.

Looks like a complete over-reaction and really no need.

I've put a helmet on my car aerial. I wouldn't want it to get injured in an accident. Think of the children.

So the cyclist causes criminal damage then buggers off up the road.Now if only there was a way of making cyclists accountable for their behaviour.

Massive overreaction - but agree with others. Frustration like that usually takes time and isn't a one bad overtake thing. Wonderful punch though!

I think the key to him knocking it off was to hit from under and behind, not from the front - I've been told this before !

That's not a BMW - it's a Hyundai i30 or similar. The black car was a Megane ! (me = petrol head )

He must have been boiling over with something previous to this, and took it out on this car. Luckily for the cyclist it wasnt a guy who wasnt going to let it go, and get out after him.

Or had the cyclist not already had hassle from the silver car prior to it being shown on the video??

I don't care - the incident is between the cyclist and the car driiver.

There's many times when I've wanted to do that though.

I put a car in my helmet.

What a complete utter idiot that cyclist was, hard to believe a grown man would do that to a car, he could have seriously hurt himself, much better to use your foot preferably cleat shod, er so I have been told
