Misuse of car horn punished

Never use your horn as a form of rebuke.
Well done that man.

She sounded her horn and one of the cyclists shouted abuse at her, swinging his bike at her car and kicking it, causing damage.

He is described as white, in his 30s and around 5ft 6ins tall. He is slim and wore a helmet and glasses."

So chances are she was tailgating and revving, waiting for a chance to
do an unsafe overtake, and they got ****ed off with her. What else
should she expect?

Oh, yes. This gets my vote.

Last time we were in London, some street in the City - don't remember
which, but Mrs Janssen would - we were crossing and someone sounded his
horn at us. I stuck my middle finger up. As you do.

Matey brakes to a halt, and gets out of his car. I start walking towards
him. He gets back into his car, cursing in some south east London dialect,
and drives away.

I was well disappointed.

Especially when one of the cyclists may have a Napoleon complex. Maybe
she didn't know that men who are around about 5ft 4ins in height are
50% more likely to show signs of the small man syndrome.

As per usual, big brave cyclist attacks lone woman, I bet his family are
proud of him. It is no wonder that the general public hate cyclists.
Reports such as this re-inforce every negative stereotype of cyclists.

5 foot 6 inches = BIG?

'Big brave' is a ****-take.

However, does being a short arsed runt give him a right to attack women?
or anyone else for that matter? I think he is lucky to be alive, it
would not have been too surprising to anyone if the driver's foot had
slipped off the clutch with the shock of the attack.

Lawful behaviour and non-resort to criminal damage?

But if you insist, I will accept your implied proposition that behaving
properly and non-criminally is too much to expect from cyclists.

I have long advocated the banning of horns and similar devices on vehicles.

100%.

Completely.

They are rarely used for their correct and lawful purpose and there is,
in any case, no requirement in law for other road users (let alone
people sitting in their homes nearby) to be able to hear them, since
there is no law against having "hearing difficulties".

I thought the article said he attacked the CAR, not the woman. Truth is
a strange concept.
