I told you I don't want to get into legal debate, but please go get yourself a copy of this book. maybe it'll be able to explain to you that defences and claims of diminished capacity is not limited to murder charges and the principles remain the same.

A bit off topic, but you are making a lot of assumptions.

What an excessive use of force. Pity about the attack being labeled cyclists vs motorists. A box is a box, regardless of whether they ride a bicycle or drive a car, but it's human nature to try and classify behaviour under an identifying characteristic. I would not have reacted in the same way, even if it was 10 water bompies.

Well I saw 3 guy's got a little number board on the back of his bike, so they might be a league riders, that narrows it down a bit..and explain the high testo levels ;)

This situation totally out of control.Traffic Dept should step in and limit the number of cyclists using the Campsbay - Seapoint , the Muizenberg - Fishhoek Route and the Chappies route especially over the weekends before the Cycle Tour .This will really suck as I train around Campsbay every day ,but maybe this will get the message across.

Looks like a busy day for them! Their 2 minutes of fame....!

 

Although I see there are a couple of proper choice comments on their Facepalm page!

This is already on facebook and people are cussing cyclists the same way we cuss taxi drivers

Yeah, this was originally posted by a colleague of a friend of mine on Facebook, so I just dumped the link here.

NOT the number of cyclists..but rather the WAY they ride...3/4 abreast...
