Sauce for the goose... If you drive into the back of another car then it is almost certain that you are to blame for not leaving enought seperation. Surely the same logic applies to cyclists. They must have been riding very close and at considerable speed if they couldn't stop or ride round the car and hurt themselves badly.
i can't disagree with that...... but the fact the sharp braking appears to have been a deliberate act to "teach them a lesson." is surely of note ?
i mean if a car is tailgating you..... would you consider slamming the anchors on as a safe option ?
I have been in umpteen cat-fights on the PH site over the odd muppet who posts that he would "brake test the tailgating moron". My view has never changed .. as in
NEVER EVER DO SO!
But then I do not know in what manner this person made a foolish comment to the police. Was he being sarcastic perhaps - when asked how it happen?
But then I read Ed's further finds on the story.
I do not know if the person has had some bad experience in past which make him behave in way as described. Did the first cyclists report him? Und if so - why was nothing apparently done back then.. such as a visit or letter from police to issue a warning over such behaviour if no tangible proof such as an SI as in the second case. Action at that point would perhaps have prevented the second incident which could have been a lot more serious in terms of injury.
Ist there any evidence of raod rage against pedestrians or other drivers - as such a rager would be just as raging towards others who "get in his way"
