The injured driver went to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital

They must have been very weak men to have been assaulted by a cyclist.
******s on bikes usually go for lone women, children or the elderly.
Scum.

the first one was sitting down in a vehicle, very difficult to defend
yourself in that position, the cyclist was probably tooled up (they
often are) which gives a distinct advantage in a combat situation, plus
all cyclists are permanently annoyed (because of their mode of
transport) so their adrenaline runs high (another reason they die of
heart failure ) Number plates would really help to apprehend road rage
scum.

Yes, because they really help to catch psychopaths ..

'More than 80 per cent of UK drivers have been a victim of road rage,
according to a new survey....'

But only a couple of thousand prosecutions.

Anyway, my advice to cyclists in the UK is: whatever you do, avoid
self-loading pistols, because the spent casings can roll under a car or
down a drain, and you won't have time to pick them all up.

Cue the psychopaths claiming that the cyclist just punched two men,
unprovoked...

There was a third man in the car, but after his two mates were flattened he wisely kept his gob shut and his head down.

His nose will thank him for it tomorrow.

Anyone know who the cyclist was? I'll be in the UK at the end of this
month, and I do believe he's owed a pint.

Translation - cyclist badly cut up by taxi, hits passenger for taking
the **** and driver for being the driver.

I've had a taxi passenger get out of the car and strike me on the back while
we were at a red light and then get back into the car. Totally unprovoked.

That's because cyclists are universally hated. Stop riding a child's toy
among normal people and it won't happen.

What do you mean unprovoked?

He was probably a reader of URC or the letters page of the Hull Daily Mail.

So obviously, it's perfectly justified to attack taxi passengers at
random in order to get your retaliation in first.

Yes, I can follow your reasoning.

The cyclist certainly can't have been provoked by the passenger's
driving, can he?

No, but he could certainly have been provoked by the passenger's behaviour.

If that were the case, the cyclist would be several sandwiches short of
a picnic and clearly not someone whom society can tolerate out on the
streets.
