This is bad design. If a bike path is large enough for a car to get on it and it is next to a road with bad traffic design that holds up cars you should be able to anticipate someone will create a problem. So you should add some vertical columns in the center. Not very many of them because that's a nucence. Obviously a clear trail is preferable. But two or three polls will make this a non-issue.

Kinda hilarious someone blurred out his license plate but the cyclist reads it out and that was left in.
Broad censorship can die, but personal protection is a good thing, usually. Hopefully this leak didn't result in much.
I don't understand why he didn't get a U-lock in the teeth. Honestly, though, he's attacking cyclists with his car, and he got to leave completely uninjured and with no damage to his vehicle.
Then the cyclist gets hit with an assault charge. Police response looked prompt and legally correct from the video, so absolutely the right call to handle it completely legally.
Cyclist was struck (iirc) three times while bystanders witnessed and shouted at him. At this time there was no indication there would be timely police intervention. I'm not advocating, I'm just finding it surprising. If it was one skater getting attacked in front of other skaters, by a dude driving in a skate park, I feel like there would be a set of trucks through that window.
Assault with a deadly weapon. The driver should get charged.
Wild seeing police do anything constructive.
They're not US police. That's probably why the video didn't end in everyone getting shot.
Actually, shortly after the recording was stopped some vacationing US cops heard an acorn drop nearby and shot 2 cyclists and one UK officer
Naturally. What else would you expect?
He doesn't need a ticket. They should seize his car and sell it and take his license forever.
This. Maybe only take the license for a few months and make him do a new test. The fact he argues shows his disregard for the rules he agreed to follow by operating the a ~~dangerous weapon~~ vehicle

What is this criminal class we allowed to fester!? We need to report all of these scum, don't let any get away!
Classic entitlement and ego. In different scenarios, Darwinism would remove the drivers genes from the gene pool
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.
