Bateleur1 Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 ...the damage a 1 litre bottle can do to a car.I was cycling this afternoon and about 15 minutes into my ride I wanted to take a sip of my energy drink. Just as I got the bottle out, I noticed two cars approaching. Decided to wait for the cars to pass before having a drink. As the cars came close to me the idiot in the second car decided he will pass the first despite seeing me approaching and it was a pretty narrow road.Well I had to take evasive action and I still had this full bottle in my hand. Decide swirf out of the way and had to let go of my beloved bottle. I did however make sure the bottle would be left hanging in the air at a strategic position (was sort of aiming for the wind shield). As I went bundu bashing there was one hell of impact sound. The car lost his side mirror completely. Just glad it was not me who hit that mirror.

Zoo Cookie Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 hey, and i don't think those mirrors come cheap. maybe the idiot will think twice next time.
BMCfan Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 Hi Batty!! Glad u r OK, could have been worse. I've often felt like throwing that waterbottle, luckily i didnt.
Sammajoor Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 try doing that with a hand, the mirror seems to want to become a passenger. And then it kinda goes through the window and then continues to the front seat. The drivers also then seems to want to lose all control and go bundu bashing
GIRR Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 wow I never thought a water bottle could do that. But I guess a 1kg object hitting a car at aroung 100km/h does have some force to it.
turtlek Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 had similar incident on mnday while doing the bunny park race but instead of letting go of bottle i emptied the contents onto the dudes lap as he drove past hope he decides not to do it again but good on you bateleur good aim!!!!!
Joss Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 Exact same situation happened to a group of us on the Brokhorstspruit road one morning. One of my then teammates aimed his bottle at the oncoming BMW's windscreen and the nice part is the his bottle was still frozen. BMW needed new windscreen and a new tyre which he cut when he left the road.
