Mojoman Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Not sure if this has been posted, saw it on FB this morningThis morning at 8.40am a cyclist purposely smashed our rear car window with our 4 month old in the backThis was on croydon road, coming from croydon, just bef...ore the left turn to Beddington lane. The cyclist had hit our car with his hand earlier on the passenger side, the only reason I could think he did this, is he possibly felt he didn't have enough room to get through.There were L plates on the car and my partner was driving. As we passed him again I said out the window we have L plates have consideration. He caught up again as we hit traffic, he switched to the other side and smashed our car window with his bike lock. Due to the the shock I told my partner to carry on driving to a safe place to pull over and called the police.There was glass over our child. We have a baby on board sign and there was a child sunscreen.There was a black audi we think behind us that witnessed this. The cyclist may take this route everyday so please be aware if you are on this road. The man was white, long blonde hair, wearing a yellow jacket and cycle glasses. Possibly 30-40 years old but couldnt be sure of age. Please share to raise awareness, i wouldnt want him smashing anyone elses windows. and please do message if you witnessed.
Mojoman Posted October 20, 2015 Author Posted October 20, 2015 Turns out this was not in SA but in UK! Of course....too many pies and pints!
Dirkitech Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Sounds like one part of a story here. And it also sounds like the driver is using L-plates (learner plates? with a baby on board??) and the baby on board sign as an excuse not to keep their minimum 1 meter passing distance from the cyclist and he was probably fed up this morning for whatever reason. I'm not saying what he did was right, in fact it was utterly irresponsible, but people don't just decide to smash windows, especially not over a childs face- there's more to this story. mind sharing the link to the article here?

MTBeer Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Spouse in common law, anc, anc with acruell, or community of propertyI should have used sarcasm font. it's used in place of wife/husband by the super pc lefty libtards as well.
EmptyB Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 As usual, both sides of story would be cool.... Be nice to know exactly what got Mr long blonde hair so angry
raptor-22 Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Anyway this incident smells of a just driving along incident which tells me she's not so innocent. If the cyclist had already slapped the car and as she suggests, to indicate they needed more space, then it sounds like the driver deliberately did something to endanger the cyclist ( not an uncommon reaction in the UK...)
NotSoBigBen Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 what's a partner? Also a term used when someone is not comfortable with divulging what kind of relationship they are in?
Marius Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 I've smashed a few windows in my day, instant karma for inconsiderate motorists.
Patchelicious Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 If you intentionally drive like a knobhead and endanger my life, I will take your mirror home as a souvenir
