Swedish cyclist in right of way dispute

[User33236]

Apparently the cyclist had a ten minute standoff with an 80 ft HGV. According to the report he might face a fine for his actions.

"Its not the cyclist who is the prosecutor but the police"..sure and how will the police find out about such incidents, if people don't make a fuss now and again?

Interesting part is there is no talk of action being taken against the 'person grabbing the bike and throwing it onto the pavement."

That's embarrassing.

What crime did that person commit?

Are any of the SC&P denizens Swedish? It sounds just like a dozen I could name.

Being sane in an insane world.

Ten minutes arguing about losing several seconds off his arrival time. Idiot.

One would imagine that grabbing a bike and thowing it onto a pavement would cause damage of some form. Don't know if it would constitute criminal damage but I would assume that or some similar offence would have been committed. Not saying the cyclist was right though, far from it.

Off the top of my head, and without having watched the video, I'd imagine, criminal damage. That is what I would report is somebody grabbed my bike and threw it!

Because might should always prevail over right? Guess that is why they call it a police force.

Dunno, but as this is quite a big story at work you will want to note that about 80% of my work colleagues think the driver was in the wrong and the cyclist is to be admired.

But this is common sense gone mad. If your driving a truck of that size along a single track country road and you come across a vehicle or a cyclist coming in the opposite direction, you both have to sort it out the best you can. It Happens often out in the Danish countryside with Milk collecting vehicles, animal transporters etc, and I have never had a problem.

I think there is more to this than is being reported. But all the cyclist had to do was move onto the pavement, let the vehicles past and carry on. But whatever the true story is, they managed to hold up 30 other vehicles. You cant just reverse a vehicle of that size back up a single track country Lane.

Who mentioned might? Not me.

Do you not think it's faintly ridiculous to waste 10 minutes arguing over 10 seconds being wasted?

Cyclist is a prize tw@t. Just get on the pavement and cycle round it.
