Default Car driver shoves cyclist

I find this just about sums up the attitude of utter ***** on the roads now:

http://news.sky.com/story/1656145/wa...clist-off-bike

I'm no fan of cyclists but to do that is just outrageous and I hope the police do him for as much as they can, he deserves to lose his license doing stuff like that.

Just another bully on the road who needs his face punched in when finally he picks on the wrong bloke.

OK, I'll bite. Please explain in your own words what possible history might have existed between the two of them which would make attempting to assault someone whilst leaning out of the moving vehicle which he's supposed to be in control of a rational act on the part of the driver.

This should be very interesting.

It is becoming a problem that idiots find it funny to push someone off a moving cycle. This driver is a complete dick. He will be traced and prosecuted.

It's a segment of footage...if he uploaded the footage of the whole trip then this question wouldn't be needed to be asked:

One has to try a rationalise why someone would do that; And one possible logical answer is they had a previous altercation. For instance maybe the BMW overtook a minute or so earlier, cyclist may have gestured in some way (as evident on many cycle cam videos). BMW driver took exception, turned round and attempted to assault the cyclist. Something could have happened a day or so earlier and he was recognised.

Any of that might well explain what the BMW driver did, but it would still fall a long way short of making it a rational act.

Exactly - even the footage on
is heavily edited, and certainly doesn't show the driver "striking the cyclist on the hip". Indeed the driver looks like he is trying to protect himself/his vehicle from some attack from the cyclist (see the fear in his eyes)!!

Lycra-lout versus Bimmer-boy - six of one and half a dozen of the other!

The driver clearly pulls his car across the road onto the cyclists side of the road and right over to him. Where on earth do you see the cyclist threatening the car?

I said "Rationalise", not rational.

Let me rephrase that....I'm trying to rationalise why a ******** would want to push a cyclist from a moving car.

What's the motive, the intention, rationale (note the "e"), objective, purpose etc.

Nowhere does that merit a condoning of doing it. Nobody is saying that it's rational. We're just asking and spectulating "why do that?"

Trying to push anything at all from a moving car, as the driver of that car on a public road, is irrational. Trying to push a cyclist (or a pedestrian) is bordering on psychopathic.

Attempt to explain or justify (behaviour or an attitude) with logical reasons, even if these are not appropriate.

And it's very well documented that psychopaths premeditatedly choose their victims. They rarely do it at random.

There's nothing to misunderstand here. Anyone who leans out of the moving car they're driving to try and push anything is a lunatic, full stop. Anyone who leans out of the moving car they're driving to try and push a cyclist or pedestrian over is a borderline psycho, full stop. It really is that simple.
