You're right - he should have been on the other side of the car : in the
gutter.

You mean with your mind?

Or with your language, foulmouth.

Cyclists are sponging freeloaders who clog up the roads with their
children's toys. They are a sub species who should not annoy tax paying
motorists.

I have seen this clip now 2 or 3 times and have come to the conclusion
that the cyclist was looking for a fight.

At the first ASL reservoir he quite correctly informed the driver that
he had driven into an area into which he is prohibited from entering
when the lights are red.

At the second ASL reservoir, the motorist had quite clearly taken on
board the comments of the cyclist and stopped behind the first stop
line.

So why did the cyclist feel the need to speak with the driver unless
he was looking for an argument.

It reminds me somewhat of the videos Ian Jackson used to post.

Please note - I do not condone the violent action of the driver, there
is no excuse for that sort of behaviour.

Because the car had pulled away at speed very close to him, and the
driver was acting like a dick?
I don't think he was looking for a fight - he seemed remarkably
ill-prepared for one, to be so easily pushed over.

This could be the first time I have ever agreed with a post from Crispin.

Perhaps our re-education programme is working.

You couldn't educate a kitten to use a litter tray, the result of which
is very similar to having you on usenet.

That sounds like an excellent reason for the cyclist to steer well
clear - especially as the driver had evidently taken on board the
cyclist's earlier comment.

I don't think he was looking for a fight - he seemed remarkably
ill-prepared for one, to be so easily pushed over.

Perhaps, perhaps not. It is quite possible that he was merely
intending to antagonise the motorist without any expectation of road
rage.
