Pretty dumb taking your wife and baby out in the car when you are a learner driver
That shower of glass will certainly have taught it a lesson.Maybe the baby was learning?

And America, of course. For reference, what countries do get things right in your mind?The links you provided all point to disasters in places like Australia and Canada. When the fuck do they ever get anything right?
if the wife wasn't there, he'd be breaking the law.Pretty dumb taking your wife and baby out in the car when you are a learner driver
Because despite motorists engaging in violent road rage incidents every day - sometimes with fatal results - this one with no injuries whatsoever INVOLVED A CYCLIST and therefore is very important and must herald the start of compulsorily enforced bike registration schemes that will cost millions and be a spectacular waste of money.Can anyone explain why this bullshit is news, why isn't every car on car driver altercation reported on BBC news.
I'm not interested in "government studies", or your links to such. I'm asking you, as a person who I assume has the intelligence to think for himself, why it's such a crazy notion that cyclists should be as accountable as any other road user if they are going to smash car windows etc.?
If he had smashed the sunroof rather than a window, would it have made him more or less psychotic, in your opinion?Did he smash in the sun roof?
.... this one .... INVOLVED A CYCLIST smashing a window over a baby
If a car driver smashed another car's window over a baby and then fled the scene, it probably would be. That's the story here, not 'driver and cyclist have an altercation'.Can anyone explain why this bullshit is news, why isn't every car on car driver altercation reported on BBC news.
I don't think Barnaby will be cutting up many more cyclists and mouthing off after!That shower of glass will certainly have taught it a lesson.
Barnaby didnt mouth off at all. He was the learner driver. It was his partner.I don't think Barnaby will be cutting up many more cyclists and mouthing off after!
I was saying he wouldn't do it in the future. If she had put her hand up and apologised for the bad driving, would she have got the same result?.Barnaby didnt mouth off at all. He was the learner driver. It was his partner.
If everyone assaulted every learner driver that does something daft near them, they'd all be nervous wrecks!
Something tells me the language used by the lady passenger was rather less polite than she claimed...
Do you know how many police reports (or general complaints? On my phone so haven't fact checked what the number relates to) there have been using a Boris bike registration?
Zero.
No it couldn't. If someone does something really dangerous, report them. Don't smash their fucking window because then you're the dick doing something deliberately dangerous.I'd agree, in most cases I see on the road.
But she could have really done something super dangerous to the cyclist, for which a window smashing could be understood. We have no idea. its just a one sided article.
In this scenario you'd be staring this cyclist in the eyes while calling him an inconsiderate fucking cunt and cutting him up. Not driving.No it couldn't. If someone does something really dangerous, report them. Don't smash their fucking window because then you're the dick doing something deliberately dangerous.
Also, banging on the car roof is a dumb idea too. If that happened to me I'd probably jump out of my skin, not a great idea when someone's driving.
cyclists must not be criticisedIf a car driver smashed another car's window over a baby and then fled the scene, it probably would be. That's the story here, not 'driver and cyclist have an altercation'.
Very telling that you consider it "bullshit".
Cyclist breaks window over baby ...... nothing to see here .... move along!
I was saying he wouldn't do it in the future.
If she had put her hand up and apologised for the bad driving, would she have got the same result?
The biggest argument I'd have against it, particularly in the current political climate, is that the government would start off by insisting it had to be at no cost to the taxpaper, and that registration fees would have to cover the cost of implementing it. Then they'd put in some baroque farrago of a system to do this, operated by Crapita, with a £150 annual fee, or some similar nonsense.I'm not interested in "government studies", or your links to such.

Instead of frantically searching for confirmation-bias sources, why wouldn't you tell me in your own words why making cyclists as identifiable as car drivers is a bad idea, especially in light of the subject of this thread?
