Here's the original video on CyclingMikey's YouTube channel!

I love his calm and simple approach to calling out dangerous behaviour from motorists.

[–] MrSmith@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

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"

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?

Thank you for finding/posting a version without shitty music that makes it harder to hear what people are saying.

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.

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
