Instant karma - I can drive while looking at my phone
Run over the bicyclist. Problem averted.
16 seconds: The Killing of Anita Kurmann
When I used to ride 30+ miles a day, I came damn close to being ended in the same type of accidents repeatedly. I learned quickly that trucks won't see bicyclists, even when they can see them, and so they demand your close attention. In this case, the truck had it's blinker on well before she passed it. She should have paid closer attention to traffic around her for her own safety.
That's not to say it's her fault, just that, as the one who will be injured or killed in an accident, it's prudent to be vigilant looking out for others driving unsafely.
All that said, since the driver knew he hit someone and drove away, only calling for police/ambulance later from another town, it should be manslaughter at a minimum, I can't fathom no charges being brought. WTF?!
Cyclist runs red light
This is nothing. You should watch just a few Russian dashcam videos... pedestrians and bicyclists getting slammed MUCH worse than this all day long.
Jim Jefferies on Bill Cosby and Rape Jokes
@Chairman_woo
If you read my original comment, that says it all about how I feel about this particular "rape joke."
It'll get funny when we don't live in a world where women are fingered while passed out and teenage boys take video of the assault instead of stopping it. Like those Swedish bicyclists did.
Maybe these jokes are funnier in Sweden, where sexual assault isn't the norm.
Woman almost hits biker by merging, gets caught by cops
At first I thought he was overreacting slightly, looks like she was just trying to slowly, but dickisly force her way in.
But on second viewing she appears to have been completely ignoring the fact he was there, either deliberately or through ignorance. (I could't see her look at the biker even once and he was in the blind spot)
Either way that behaviour could easily prove fatal at higher speeds. And even at the speed they were going serious injuries are entirely possible, I nearly broke my wrist once merely dropping a bike (Yet walked away from a 40mph spill because life is strange like that).
I know motor-bicyclists may seem like whingy bitches sometimes, but we are absurdly vulnerable to ignorant assholes like this.
At the very least, this plays on the sub-conscious heavily and even minor slights can sometimes feel like attempted murder at the time.
Another time and place she might have caused a serious incident, so I'm glad she got a stern talking to at the very least.
But yeh, this is small fry in the grand scheme of things. I usually just move on, but had I been filming and then run across a police car.....I might well have done the same here. (Though I do make a big point to stay out of blind spots these days as most car drivers don't bother to check it)
Is this really worth involving police in? I am with him for a honk or two, a bit of cursing and giving opulent instructions on how to acquire better driving habits. Then get on with your life.
A Clown Takes A Pratfall-Wait For It
The bicyclist has a serious passive aggression problem. He's also a massive narcissist, every half-assed "incident" never goes to the police, it goes on youtube.
Staying "out of the door area" only makes sense when there's actually someone in the car he's passing. Doors don't just pop open by themselves. Just look inside the fucking car... He rides this way to piss people off. Notice how he crowds the guy when trying to pull into a parking spot before the altercation.
I wouldn't be surprised if this (getting youtube video of pissed off people) is the only reason he goes out on his bike.
Very satisfying to see the twat fall over, but to be honest I'd happily see the dickhead on the bike fall off too.
The original incident was the car's fault, passing too close. The bike had every right to be there and wasn't doing anything wrong. But he went looking for trouble. If it's an offence, report it. He went after the other guy and deliberately wound him up.
Neither party comes out of this smelling of roses...
Would Headlights Work at Light Speed?
That's pretty much my favourite physics fact right there. From the point of view of a photon, travel is instantaneous. From the sun, from the next nearest star, from the big bang... It seemed to the photon that it was emitted and absorbed instantaneously.
We also had a brilliant bunch of lectures by Don Kurtz who told us about a book called Mr Tompkins in wonderland, in which the narrative was written by a guy who was a bicyclist in a world where the speed of light, c = 10 metres per second or so. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr_Tompkins
We then did a bunch of questions about what that man experienced, what colour traffic lights were, what length his bike and roads were, and what time it said on the clock tower. Just great, that's what makes me want to lecture one day.
How the police should deal with the public
I also notice that the bicyclist does not have an attitude.

Skater punched by kid's mom
A kid running into the path of a moving object should be glad it wasn't a bicyclist or car.
The skater wrongly assumed she had the same cultural assumptions as himself.
He should have had his guard up early on... use the skateboard to block. She only attacked because she could see he wasn't prepared.
Russian Dashcam Compilation From TwisterNederland
3:44 - Lucky bicyclist is lucky.
5:05 - Suicidal truck driver.
I'm also quite amazed at that in Russia:
Everybody speeds.
Everyone is Traffic light colour-blind.
UTurns and left turns are on impulse.
Getting a crash cam in your car gives you a 30% chance of being in an accident where you did nothing wrong.
Clued-up Cyclist vs. Clueless Cop.
In the US, if you do not show some kind of identification, you are going to the police station.
Also, if you give a man a stupid job like enforcing bicycle laws, you bring out the worst in them.
Also, the way this bicyclist was treating the officer was highly likely to evoke a violent response, whether it is justified or not.
