Default Driver: Have some baseball bat. Cyclist : Smile, you're on Candid

QUOTE:
"Being a cyclist can, sadly, be pretty dangerous sometimes.

But even on a bad day, you don’t expect an angry driver to aggressively pull out a baseball bat after a crash.

The footage, taken in London, shows a collision between a car and a cyclist..

Both sides were pretty angry about the whole thing, with the cyclist venting his disbelief and the driver immediately jumping out.

The car threatened to roll away because the driver had left the handbrake off, but once he pulls a baseball bat out it all gets pretty unpleasant.

It’s only when he realises that he’s being filmed that his reaction starts to change, and there is no shortage of witnesses."

Just a bad driver altogether.

but once he pulls a baseball bat out it all gets pretty unpleasant.


Bad judgement from lack of exercise.

Tocqueville called it "the extraordinary power of freedom of the press."

This is why crime has dropped so much in the U.S.

Yes - he should have pulled out a cricket bat instead; more creeping Americanisation, like harASSment and Skedule.

At the U. of AZ East Indians play cricket on the mall. Way too complicated to understand.

Dad once told me not to talk to the Russians because I'd be a bad influence on them. Maybe true but you must wonder how such a comment ever appeared in the first place.

I'm only really comfortable jerking the jerks in DC. There is _no way_ anyone can corrupt DC any more than it already is.
