Re: bmw driver 0 cyclist 1

Your right Vernon I should have given him one of my best frowns and
left it at that...............although I did chuckle somewhat at 'your'
ironic use of the words 'selfrighteous' and smug.

Last year almost the exact same thing happened but I was unable to stop
that time and t-boned into the car and landed on the other side in a
lot of pain.........bike smashed in pieces...... Seeing the guy turning
into a major road one-handed on the phone forcing me to brake must of
stirred a subconcious desire for mischief.

.....And criminal damage.....and reinforcing the negative stereotypes of
cyclist held by motorists....and increasing the chances of some other
hapless cyclist getting the brunt of the BMW driver's ire at the next
opportunity.....

all in all a magnificent display of restrained behaviour and diplomacy
fostering enduring harmony between motorists and cyclists...........

You'd have got no sympathy from me if your smug, selfrighteous and
illegal behavious got you a good hiding.

You'd have got a pint from me, whether it did or not!

If the motorist was interested in harmony with other road users, he
might have been behaving very differently in the first place.

OK, so Sean was in the wrong and would have deserved a smack in the
mouth, but I can't help taking his side on this one and I'm highly
amused that he got away with it.

I will always explain revoked keys, unless the UK government
prevents me by using the RIP Act 2000.

For denting the chap's car, which is not on, even if the other party is
in the wrong, and because I'm sure Sean could have predicted that
violence would have been the likely response to his actions so would
have been more sensible to avoid confrontation.

You appear to be equating the importance of pieces of machinery with
humans. Is that really what you think?

An entirely separate discussion from the one about, "a smack in the
mouth".

I doubt that's how the driver saw it, which in the context is all that
matters.
