What is this criminal class we allowed to fester!? We need to report all of these scum, don't let any get away!

Wild seeing police do anything constructive.

Classic entitlement and ego. In different scenarios, Darwinism would remove the drivers genes from the gene pool

He doesn't need a ticket. They should seize his car and sell it and take his license forever.

I'm thinking the appropriate punishment is being drawn and quartered...except between four cybertrucks.

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.

To the UK's credit, police will prosecute drivers using video evidence, so "CyclingMikey" does this stuff all day long.

In British parlance 'what a cunt'

[–] SorteKanin@feddit.dk 5 points 12 hours ago

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.

But... He has to go to work, you guys. SMH my fucking head.

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 16 points 19 hours ago (4 children)

You're shaking your head your fucking head?

[–] buttnugget@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

People sometimes say SMH like this for emphasis. Another one I’ve seen is “SMHing my SMH”. It’s not meant to be literal. It’s similar to when an acronym becomes its own word, like ATM machine.

Nice. The word “fucking” here isn’t an adjective, it’s a verb.

[–] Klear@sh.itjust.works 5 points 14 hours ago

What other kind of head would you shake?

I was hoping the cyclist would lose his balance and fall on the hood of the car when he was rammed. Not that I want the cyclist injured, of course, but damage to the precious car? I'm all for that.

I had a road rage incident while I was out riding yesterday - I was in the middle of the lane passing some pedestrians. Note, this is a country road, and there's no sidewalk or even shoulder. It's a pretty popular cycling route, but it's the first time I've seen people walking there (I'm not even sure where they were going). Some jackass rolled up right behind me and blew the horn, as I was next to the pedestrians. I gave the "what the hell" gesture, then after I passed the pedestrians, I moved closer to the right edge of the lane, and he swerved over to run me off the road.

Set a few PRs after that incident. lol Later, the rear derailleur cable broke, and I got rained on, so the end of the ride was less great than the rest of it (which was a pretty good ride aside from those incidents).
