Cyclist Deliberately Smashes Car Window Over Baby

Some more pesky facts:
Can anyone explain why this bullshit is news, why isn't every car on car driver altercation reported on BBC news.
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.
 
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.?

What about pedestrians? I bet I can find multiple news stories of a pedestrian getting the rage and doing something similar. Why is it such a crazy notion that pedestrians should be as accountable as any other road user if they are going to etc etc?

Boris bikes are all individually numbered btw. 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.

10-20kg Bikes (which will rarely exceed 25mph) don't present the same level of risk as 1 - 2 tonne cars (which will usually exceed 25mph), so they are treated differently, and rightly so.

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'.

Very telling that you consider it "bullshit".

Cyclist breaks window over baby ...... nothing to see here .... move along! :facepalm:

I don't think Barnaby will be cutting up many more cyclists and mouthing off after!
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!

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?.

Zero.

Proof if proof were needed that being identifiable makes these lunatic cyclists think twice before committing a crime.
 
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.
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.

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.

He's a learner! We don't even know if what he did was that dangerous (perhaps the cyclist was trying to squeeze through an unreasonable space). We do know that the cyclist involved is prone to massive overreaction.

No idea. The guy had already hit her car, showing himself to have a tendency towards violence. Not the best way to extract a reasonable apology.

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.

It might work (though probably not if it were that expensive) for those who use bikes a lot or as an alternative to car travel, where there might actually be a cost justification, but for all those people for whom cycling was a leisure interest, they'd be forced to start deciding whether the half a dozen weekends when they go out on their bikes was really worth the annual cost.

Absolutely.

Banging on cars is never a good idea. Not least because you probably don't know who's inside and there are plenty of headcase drivers who'll take things to the next level. So if you're not built like Joustmaster, just don't. Fortunately it's usually not possible for a car driver to whack another's vehicle with a hand or foot in passing. If it were I reckon there'd be frequent road rage killings. It immediately ups the anti from having a shouting match or exchanging hand gestures, to the physical. Very fucking dangerous.

In this case, the cowardly cyclist had probably spotted that the car contained a soft-looking young couple with a baby so felt safe to use the D-lock on them:

All this goes to demonstrate is that steering wheel locks, which have fallen out of fashion, could do with a come back. Lets see some skinny twat wearing clothes in which his penis and testicles are visible be so lairy with one of these in his pus:

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?

Can we put number plates on pedestrians too, and make insurance compulsory? One made me crash and break my arm once.
