Why you shouldn't slap cars

[Drago]

Ah, my bad, thought it was the lid from the way it was.wobbling.

 

[Smurfy]

You shouldn't have to stretch to deliver a slap. When I slapped a double-decker earlier this week it was so close I didn't have to make any effort to make contact. The whole point is that if the vehicle is within easy reach, it's too close.

The only time I've slapped a car was when it was in the process of left hooking me; it was to alert the driver of my presence, not as an expression of anger. (Although I was a bit annoyed)

Either an absolutely awful cyclist or purposely looking for an injury payout.

So he's not happy that Thames Valley Police didn't bend over backwards for him and take action against the driver. What the Police should have done was prosecute the cyclist for riding like a nobber, wasting Police time, and being out on his own without the care and protection of a responsible person.

Seriously, never mind your red light jumpers or pavement cyclists, it is half-wits like this nobber that REALLY get cyclists a bad name. What a prize tosser!

Isn't all this car slapping a sign of a repressed Morris dancer?

Methinks you are mistaken.....

You did not slap the vehicle you simply fended yourself off from the encroaching vehicle

He seems to have fallen off because he took his hands off the bars not because of the close pass

Doubt it would of happened if he'd just dealt with it calmy instead of trying to hit the car as hard as he could

 

[Rouge79]

Looking at another of his videos, he can't control his bike very well anyway.

WTF!!!

The car driver was a twunt for that overtake but the cyclist had plenty of time to brake and even swerve to the left. He would also have heard the car overtaking so should have been ready to take avoiding action anyhow.

A simple shoulder check before approaching a junction always helps too.

 

[Rouge79]

OMG even the SAAB wasn't that bad. Again a nobber of a driver who MUST get past a cyclist but plenty of time and space to the left to safely slow down!!!

Again an example of wanting to be in the RIGHT versus getting home alive. I know what option i'd take!!

We all make mistakes but at least have the balls to own up to them.

He should spend a week riding in London..........................on second thoughts

 

[mr_cellophane]

LOL
He's disabled comments now. Some of them must have been good.

I see two things when I watch the BMW video.

1)A BMW passing too close.

2)A cyclist deciding to hit a BMW, and falling off his bike due to doing so.

BMW 'causes cyclist to lose control' -urm, no. Two tits in that video IYAM!

 

[Drago]

The subtitles on the video are a work of fiction worthy of Lee Child. He reckons the BMW passed "8 inches or less" from him. Must have bloody short arms then. OK, the Bimmer driver cut it fine, but most of us see worse daily. Injuring yourself out of righteous indignation is stupid. just settle for muttering "chump" under my breath and get on with my day.

And he injures himself through his own idiocy and then has the cheek to bleat that the Ambo takes a long time to get to him. It clearly hasn't occurred to him that the Ambo's may have been off doing something useful, like rescuing folk with life threatening injuries or illnesses. Chump to the power of chump.

 

[Hip Priest]

That Saab video is ridiculous. WTF is that noise?

 

[glenn forger]

That same cyclist disabled comments on his other clip. Does he post here? He's a silly person.

 

[Beebo]

That Saab video is ridiculous. WTF is that noise?

I thought it was the sound of everyone laughing at him!
But it could be some sort of warning alarm, a but like an Airzound, but much, much worse!
