How does frustration of drivers cause accidents? They run over a cyclist to let off steam?
- lloeki 15y agoThey're frustrated by a (relatively to them) slow cyclist that they can't overtake right now, so as soon as an opportunity comes in, they take their chance in a dangerous way.
- mkr-hn 15y agoJust yesterday I was behind a slow-moving cyclist on a winding road with no passing spots. Three cars behind me flew out into one of the many blind corners to pass with no way to be sure it was safe.
- Tichy 15y agoThat sums up nicely why I hate cars and driving. I just don't trust normal people with heavy killing machines under their asses.
- hcho 15y agoThere are a huge number of cycle helmet videos over Youtube, in most of them you can see that the driver is out to get the cyclist, probably because of clogging up a fast flowing road. It's not right but it's happening all the time.
- gst 15y agoI've had it more than once that a driver tries to deliberately drive me of the road. In one case where I stopped and wanted to wait until the driver is gone, he stopped, got out of the car, and wanted to start a fight. The reason in that case was that he was angry, as I overtook the waiting cars at a red light. That's one of the reasons why I typically have a heavy u-lock and a pepper spray with me when cycling.
