A CYCLIST has been caught on video taking revenge on a car driver who nearly knocked him off his bike.
The silver hatchback tried to change lanes in heavy traffic pushing within 30cm of the cyclist.
After angrily gesturing to the driver, the cyclists took a solid swipe at the hatchback's mirror knocking it off.

Thats a little harsh on the car driver. He made a bad decision, he got his come-up-ance. If he, and fellow meathead drivers, dont learn anything from that, then perhaps "brain dead" is apt.

Same for on a motorbike. If you want to die quickly, you duck and weave into blind spots. That rider is going to be dead soon anyway, so he should go for as many mirrors as possible.

Kicking doors and breaking mirrors is perfect response to someone trying to kill you by running off the road.

There is a war going on. The oppressed (cyclists) are rising up. There may be casualties when blackadder follows through with his threats, but the blackadders of the world will doing 25 to life afterwards, so effectively illiminated from the equation.
