Altercation in Strand

[Spinnekop]

Im sure the BMW dude sat on his hooter for NO reason at all. I think the cyclists behaviour instigated it,

 

You know what they say about assumptions......

 

Just saying....I have seen some weeeeiiiiirrrrdddd **** in my days. 

Never assume.

Ever.

[Spinnekop]

How do you manage that if based in KZN?

He is not anymore.

Pay attention.

......and just what did anyone achieve here? Pray tell, because I cant see it.

Well BLACKvoodoo and Patch got to have a little fight, which is really just like a miniature verson of this situation but instead of the road happened on the interwebs.

 

Other than that, I'm not really 100% sure whats going on besides dudes being aggressive and breaking each others stuff. Which is beyond me at the best of times.

[Spinnekop]

All said and done.

I miss the old days where, if you disagreed with someone or did not like his face or horse (BMW), you could settle it out in front of the bar.

Shoot the crap out of each other and move on.

We agree on something related to modern events... Bloody hell.

 

(Now, you have to misinterpret my tone, and we have to have a trans-Atlantic winkie war...)

To be honest I'd rather be bumped by a car and live, then have somebody shoot me outside a bar because they did not like my horse. The guys in this story are pretty cool compared to that.

Maybe they had all just had too much Salbutamol that day.

I keep thinking back to the video of the roadie trying to "stab" the taxi driver with his wheel through the window in Camps Bay

Situations like these always makes me think of the way we are raised.

 

"Be the better guy" vs "Stand up for yourself".

 

In a lot of confrontations, a person cannot retaliate with equal amount of force. Either the situation is escalated (flipping the bird) or pacified (just riding along.)

 

The one generates more aggression after each retaliation, the other results in the aggressor not learning a lesson, and continuing bad behavior. A very crude extrapolation:

• USA threatens Japan, Japan bombs Pearl harbor, USA drops 2 nuclear bombs.
• Taxi drivers keep driving recklessly without confrontation because most other drivers have a 'let it go' mentality. Taxi driver's now own the road resulting in a more dangerous commute for all.

[Wet Ears]

He is not anymore.

Pay attention.

You really miss the point don't you - what does his avatar say??

[TheJ]

Damn... this thread escalated quickly. From talking about traffic to people getting banned. Lekker man.

But you can draw conclusions based on experience.

I said "I think" the cyclist did something to cause the BMW to hoot, I did not say "I know".

 

Of course there is a possibility that the BMW driver with his family simply decided to randomly climb on his hooter, but that would be the exception not the rule.

[Jewbacca]

Who got banned?!

 

I mean, it escalated quickly but I didn't see any tridents.....
