This guy was pushing cyclists off the road

[TheG]

Look, I'm not a cyclist (and my pie to dump ratio needs some work too) and don't know what is accepted practice in road-manners in SA, but the guy had an open lane to himself and quite obviously pushed them. I think the cyclists were bunched up at the robot and spread out to probably 2 abreast on pulling away perhaps 25m from the lights going green, but they kept to the side of the road and were not in any way impeding this guy from passing.

 

I have driven on German roads and in the UK, so my perspective might be skewed, but SA drivers have no respect for other road users and seeing this got my blood boiling.

Even if there is more to it. The driver of the car is still a idiot, what gives him the right to put the cyclists lives in danger ? What would of happened if one fell and went under the wheels?

Yip, two wrongs don't make a right, but again The Hubbers are speculating, taking sides and pointing fingers

 

I look at the facts, the man behind the steering wheel is not a cyclist, I reckon he is a fast eater, but ride a bike

why didn't the photographer take more pics of the wife/girlfriend/skelm?

Good for you TheG. You're a non-cyclist assisting the cycling community's cause. No need to defend yourself and thanks for being objective and taking the time to care. Honestly.

His girl seems to have nice boobs.

 

 

 

I know tits and ass often lead to us being irrational (very often and very easily)

, but please be called to order.

If he should read this he will have "feel good" feelings which we would like to avoid.

 

We are not supposed to like this guy.

Do not compliment him or anything associated with him.

 

The use of the word "seems" redeems you slightly, but...

 

Lets try again:

"His girl seems to to have nice boobs ... but not that nice!"

"His girl seems to to have nice boobs ... but not the nicest I've seen!"

"His girl seems to to have nice boobs ... but would they still be nice if she didn't hold them up?"

"His girl seems to to have nice boobs ... but I cannot see her face"

"His girl seems to to have nice boobs ... but it could be his sister"

"His girl seems to to have nice boobs ... but it could be his mom"

+1 Comming from a non cyclist it adds a lot of weight.

She's folded her arms to make them look bigger, they're probably no more than a b cup without the lift.

[Danger Dassie]

i reckon there is more to this. than a simlpe "push cyclists off the road"

 

Either way I wouldn't be surprised, but it wouldn't be the first time that someone did that. Couple of us have experienced it before, people that drive as close as possible.

Even if they were 'provoked' it doesn't justify driving like that at all!

 

The OP has it spot on, people here just don't respect each other on the road in general.

Thank you for helping the cyclists and taking the pics and registration plate. We need more people like you on our side.

Interesting, my personal stalker who hands out threats via PM. flames me for my comment and then makes a condescending comment like this

Sorry if you felt offended by my comment BigH, it was directed at the guy behind the steering wheel, I have no idea what you look like.
