Video: 'I'll break your f---ing neck!' Driver and cyclist in furious road rage incident - Telegraph

Two specimens in full regalia doing what they do best...acting like -----s.

SUV, pleather trousers, he was never going to be the right sort of chap, was he?

Re: Rare breeds: the British gent...
 

I seemed to have jumped the gun a bit with my thread title.
He's an Aussie. That explains it! Well, the rage, not the pleather. :)
Carry on.

Re: Rare breeds: the British gent...
 

Why is he wearing a tampon around his neck?

Re: Rare breeds: the British gent...
 

I believe I explained that in my OP.

Re: Rare breeds: the British gent...
 

Indeed.

While he seems a complete prat there are a few things in this video that I miss about England.

He's obviously chosen his clothing; it's bizarre but it's not the plaid offered by Giant Tiger or Mark's Work Wearhouse. It's not the same as everyone for miles around. He's not wearing a hat and, perforce, it's not on backwards. He is aware that he's operating a motor vehicle and it's very likely he knows which brand of vehicle it is. It's not greige. He's abusive to someone who speaks the same language as he does, there's no awkward pause while he rephrases "****ing neck" and attempts to convey the idea with gestures; there's a fluidity of communication one does not experience with colleagues here, nevermind random strangers.

Good point. A certain vitality of spirit. Could we say joie de vivre? Well perhaps not quite that far.

Although the guy overreacted, it does seem the cyclist expects too much. Traffic was flowing, 30 mph zone, not every journey has to be a road race. If I were on the bike, I'd give way to the car.

It becomes a lot more complicated when there are horses on the road. Who do you call a cad, the horse, rider or both?

Re: Rare breeds: the British gent...
 

Here it doesn't matter, the horseman speaks Dutch or very accented English and won't know the word "cad".

Re: Rare breeds: the British gent...
 

None of us are immune from this sort of spontaneous misjudgement and usually instantly regretful, behaviour. There was an incident with a cradle last weekend in my local Legion, when in course of a heated and alcohol fuelled discussion, I might have suggested that the said cradle fellates polar bears for a living. :(

Apparently, Mr. Jason Wells has a "very small penis".

Advice: do not, ever, post a photo to social media, of your bathroom scales, while you're standing on them naked.

i hate cyclists

why isn't he using the cycle lane provided? Probably sits in his house complaining that there are too many gas guzzling cars out there and everyone should be cycling, then doesn't use the damn lanes available, because why ride in a safe place when you can annoy and provoke other road users?

Why is he provoking car drivers? Yeah the guy got a little close to him...but why did spit and punch the car? (at least it looked like it from the video)

Why do other cyclists feel the need to gang up on this poor gent in the Landy? Almost as bad as the SJWs here on BE!

Re: Rare breeds: the British gent...
 

You don't HAVE to use a cycle lane, even if its provide.
They aren't often thought out very well tbh.

Re: Rare breeds: the British gent...
 

Allegedly he has apologised… probably after the boycott Brew Hashtag went viral on Twitter! (My keyboard has no hashtag?!)
