stationary car hits cyclist

[ruggedscotty]

Well this car driver really needs to be taken to task - could have killed the cyclist quite easily.

people just need to learn to dive properly and be safe around cyclists as they really are vulnerable and car drivers are protected in metal boxes...

Is the passive aggressive attitude really needed? People have accidents like that all the time. People hit stationary cars, run in to houses. The most dangerous place to be is on the hard shoulder of a motorway because lorries hit cars. The attitude just causes more aggression and pointless anger on the road.

Passive aggressive now ?

That was not an accident - that was pure incompetence on the part of the knob on the cycle. You seen him ride for some amount of time before he actually run into the car that was stationary and parked. It had not just stopped it had not done anything untoward.

The cyclist could have killed himself. through not paying attention to the road in front of him.

"Passive-aggressive behavior is the indirect expression of hostility"

Pretty accurately describes the comments about "the car driver needing to be taken to task". Passive aggressive and juvenile. You clearly have a problem with cyclists for some reason.

Think you have me wrong here - a problem with cyclists ? No problem with knobs that cant cope with the task of living life in a safe manner. Wether he was in a lorry car bike or walking this guy was a complete and utter knob. He cycled up to the parked car and straight into it - he had not seen it. He should not be allowed over the door for his own safety. Passive aggressive ? what twaddle. sarcasim maybe as no doubt the cyclist stated that he had not seen the car parked there. And you think Im being aggressive....

sorry if you take it like that. Im just amazed that he didnt do himself serious injury.
