#441 Don't Escalate When You Are WRONG!

Video: Driver cuts off cyclist then goes nuts


Hey, here's a thought, when you nearly run someone over with your limp ass minivan, don't make it worse by screaming at them for having the gall to nearly get run over by your stupid car.

Cyclists are people, they have every right to the roadway if and when they feel the need to for their own safety. Don't like it? TOUGH SHIT. Do you get a say about semi trucks on the road? Then why would you possibly have any say about cyclists?

And, when you're wrong, own it and don't escalate like the asshole driver in this video. Who, if he'd tried to kick my bike on me, would have gotten his face kicked in.

Yes, cyclists run stoplights and stop signs and that's not okay but let's keep the scope of harm in perspective here. This asshole in the minivan could have KILLED the cyclist without even knowing it, a bike will dent a car at the worst. We are facing death, they are facing a dent. If you think the two are even remotely equal then you are seriously in need of a reality check.

I'd love to know if the cops came and ticketed this asshole for this, not like he's hard to find with his license plate on full display.

Rule #441 is Don't Escalate When You Are WRONG!
