by no means. the number of boris bikes being ridden on the pavement, for instance, shows cyclists feel they can flout the law with impunity despite being identifiable.
how would a numberplate on the pedestrian have made you feel better? would you have whimpered less?
i will vote for any mayoral candidate promising to tie up norman tebbit and put him in the path of may's critical mass. he'll call for people to get off their bikes before he croaks.
In an ideal world, yes.
Cars smash into each other hour of the day and often cause a lot more damage than a single broken window. Drivers often flee the scene too and guess what - it almost never makes national news or has you starting up a thread about relatively tiny incidents where no one was hurt. Funny that, isn't it?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'.
I fucking hate those twats that pedal fast along pavements, but I think there's as much chance of putting an end to that as there is of owners not clearing up their dog's shit.
It only seems to be you and editor seeking to downplay the seriousness of this incident.Yes scoundrels who misuse the highway are given short shrift in Croydon.
It's a minor incident of the kind of unpleasant road rage seen on Britain's roads every day - although the only real news here is that it wasn't just car/lorry drivers involved for a change.
That incident was the subject of a very long thread here.
That's what she claimed.Yeah, despite being clearly told by the mother before going on to smash the window.
Did you start it? No? How many threads have you started about minor road rage incidents that has involved no one getting hurt?
No, not at all. The cyclist may not have heard what she claimed to have said.Ahhhh, so she's lying!!!!!
Of course. She MUST be. She's in the CAR!!!!!
I didn't need to. Someone else did. Duh!
None. And I still haven't.
<<<< We're going to run out of these if you keep posting!
So you've only ever started one thread about road rage in all the years you've been here, and that's just this one about a cyclist which involved no one getting hurt. Looks like your agenda is showing. Again.
Oh sorry, so you can prove that the cyclist heard what she claimed to have said? Great! Please post up what you've got!
You can of course PROVE that he didn't, to the extent that you're prepared to base your entire opinion of the incident on it!
Yes, I understand. You're choosing to believe what you read in the papers and aren't interested in hearing both sides of the story, or trying to get to the truth of the matter. QED.
Even if he didn't know the baby was in the car, he shouldn't have smashed the fucking window.
