He smacked the cyclist with his car, twice, on purpose, while in a bike labe he drove into, also on purpose.
If this was Denmark he’d lose his car and the license to even own one.
He should lose his life. He threatened to kill him TWICE with his vehicle while he was in the wrong and actively breaking the law, he has no right to live. Hang him and throw him in a trash heap
Ah, an American.
Nope, not even close. I’m just not a pussy who would let someone willing to threaten someone else with a two ton vehicle keep living. But hey, you keep being a pussy if it makes your worthless life easier. Maybe go jump in front of a car
@gurnu @WorldsDumbestMan Misogyny is part of why so many men buy oversized cars and drive them aggressively. Find a better insult that actually focuses shame on the person behaving badly.
Imagine someone wishing death on you, because you are level headed, and realized that executing everyone who does something wrong, is not the way. I hate that guy as much as the next one, but I at least managed to hold back from wishing death on him.
This guy is just rampaging around, probably stubbed his toe or something.
Wild seeing police do anything constructive.
They’re not US police. That’s probably why the video didn’t end in everyone getting shot.
UK police can be absolute shits too. Policing as a profession can attract people who absolutely should not have power over others, and the culture within the police can promote pretty fucked up attitudes in ppreviously decent people; it’s qualitatively the same pernicious problems that we see in the US, albeit to a much milder degree.
General condemnation of the police aside, I’m glad to see how this particular incident was handled.
Actually, shortly after the recording was stopped some vacationing US cops heard an acorn drop nearby and shot 2 cyclists and one UK officer
Naturally. What else would you expect?
Kinda hilarious someone blurred out his license plate but the cyclist reads it out and that was left in.
Broad censorship can die, but personal protection is a good thing, usually. Hopefully this leak didn’t result in much.
To the UK’s credit, police will prosecute drivers using video evidence, so “CyclingMikey” does this stuff all day long.
He doesn’t need a ticket. They should seize his car and sell it and take his license forever.
This. Maybe only take the license for a few months and make him do a new test. The fact he argues shows his disregard for the rules he agreed to follow by operating the a
dangerous weaponvehicleI’m thinking the appropriate punishment is being drawn and quartered…except between four cybertrucks.
ChatGPT gone wrong.
This is bad design. If a bike path is large enough for a car to get on it and it is next to a road with bad traffic design that holds up cars you should be able to anticipate someone will create a problem. So you should add some vertical columns in the center. Not very many of them because that’s a nucence. Obviously a clear trail is preferable. But two or three polls will make this a non-issue.
I don’t understand why he didn’t get a U-lock in the teeth. Honestly, though, he’s attacking cyclists with his car, and he got to leave completely uninjured and with no damage to his vehicle.
Then the cyclist gets hit with an assault charge. Police response looked prompt and legally correct from the video, so absolutely the right call to handle it completely legally.
Cyclist was struck (iirc) three times while bystanders witnessed and shouted at him. At this time there was no indication there would be timely police intervention. I’m not advocating, I’m just finding it surprising. If it was one skater getting attacked in front of other skaters, by a dude driving in a skate park, I feel like there would be a set of trucks through that window.
Assault with a deadly weapon. The driver should get charged.
What is this criminal class we allowed to fester!? We need to report all of these scum, don’t let any get away!
Classic entitlement and ego. In different scenarios, Darwinism would remove the drivers genes from the gene pool
At first I thought surely this is staged for the video (what social media makes us question these days) but the police showing up made me believe. What an idiot driver.
The cyclist is CyclingMikey on youtube, he basically does this kind of thing as a hobby. There are videos basically every week where he summarizes a trip to court and whether or not the offender was punished, and a wonderfully large amount of the time the drivers do get slapped in the face with penalty points and fines.
Good on him!
In British parlance ‘what a cunt’
This is why I applied for a conceal carry permit because I want a gun on myself legally when I’m biking.
In case someone is frustrated with traffic on the way to work so you have no choice but to personally murder them?
I ride a 6000$ bike. In places where gangs have robbed bikers at gun point. I have also had people try and crash into me with their cars to be dicks about giving space to a bike on the same road. If anyone is going to try and harm me or rob me. I’d like to be prepared legally.
Insurance affordable for the bike? Imagining you succeed fending off a couple gang members but one pulling up the rear unseen executes you or something.
Prob cuz I watched a video where a hero tried to take out a shooter in a grocery store but a second one snuck up behind him, tragic. Stuck with me, now I’m locked in “be a little wimp, give up everything, try to survive” mode (of course the world might not be a perfect place if everyone were like that)
Fuck these entitled twats.
Power to this dude and the fellow cyclist for standing up to this bullshit💪🍀
Wish he hadn’t said no to pressing assault with a deadly weapon charges when the officer offered though
That’s the unfortunate reality. You and I and he are sympathetic to other people’s space and well-being so it’s difficult in the moment to press more serious charges like assault with a deadly weapon when you can hope that the situation and being informed that he COULD have been charged with that will be enough to change his behavior.
Here’s the original video on CyclingMikey’s YouTube channel!
I love his calm and simple approach to calling out dangerous behaviour from motorists.
I’m always ambivalent. Yeah he’s right, and those drivers need to be called out, and traffic enforcement clearly isn’t doing anything … but he’s being stubborn, risking his life, when the guy is only getting a small ticket. You know he’s just going to be ragier next time. Here in the US I can’t see it going that well
Good thing they’re not in an undeveloped backwater piece of shit country like the US
Man, I wouldn’t have been able to stay that calm. That comes from years of practice in dealing with these knobs. I would have been sorely tempted to grab that door and yank it forwards, which would only make matters worse.
It’s even more impressive when you learn his father was killed by a careless driver.
Thank you for finding/posting a version without shitty music that makes it harder to hear what people are saying.
Thank you for posting the original. If you hadnt I would have had a hunt and done it myself.
As a general request can ppl post original videos without shitty tick tok music bollocks?
His calmness, actually, ensured that the driver was immediately identified as the perpetrator without any “let’s see what the bloody cyclist has done now”
“How am I meant to hit you?”
-A person who has just hit someone…twice.
