Pure Savage Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 They are both big deals. one is obviously more of a big deal than the other. One was a provoked attack which no one ended up in hospital. The other was a non provoked attack where people were badly injured. I just hope this incident were people ended up in hospital get as big an outrage as a relatively not as bad. Sorry just annoys me as people are in hospital from a motorists hitting a cyclist and Facebook, and blogs are not outraged by it unlike this incident. Oufy MTB (Roadie) and dommisse 2
marko35s Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 Actually they're not. One incident is an overreaction that many cyclists have every day but don;t get caught on camera. The other is a situation that results in many cyclists either ending up in hospital or dying on roads in South Africa because our motorists have ******* clue as to the rules of the road. And believe me many of these ***** ride bicycles tooOh they do have a clue they just don't care. GoLefty!! 1

Is this a mine is bigger than yours contest?Both are a big deal, unfortunately one has had worse consequences in terms of injuries than the other.It is possible that the two cyclists were hurt in a genuine accident (although more likely that somebody, normally the car driver, was doing something stupid).Anyway my point is this - if something is a big deal it stays a big deal and isnt diminished by a subsequent event.

GoLefty!! Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 I think the point is to focus the energy in the direction where a bigger impact is felt on society. prosecuting two cyclist for losing their tempers vs prosecuting poor driving that results in personal injury.... I think theres a heavy weighting toward one side here.

I think theres a heavy weighting toward one side here.You wont get an argument from me about the crappy driving here, many years being knocked off motorbikes left me inclined towards capital punishment for anything more serious than bad parking.As a visitor from the UK said to me a while back "Its like the bloody wild west on the roads and nobody believes in red lights do they". sawystertrance, Captain Fastbastard Mayhem and Capricorn 3
GoLefty!! Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 Ok Mods sawrry for the bad language... Ya in Stellenbosch. In Cape Town the main number plates to watch out for are CL = StellenboschCFR = KuilsRivier/BrackenfellCFM= Somerset WestCY = Bellville/Durbanville (why do I drive so K*K? Come to Bellville and CY.) These okes should be issued a passport to be west of the R300 The owners of plates starting with those suffixes are the worst drivers you will find outside of GP. CA owners are not far behind though.... Eddy Gordo and Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 2

Bloukrans Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 Any feedback of what happened to the cyclists' PPA process and/or criminal process?
