Few weeks ago in Amsterdam (where A LOT of people ride on bikes) I was just going somewhere, cycling on a separate cycle path when a car crossed the intersection while staring at his phone. He got out screaming because we nearly damaged his car. Some people are just not fit for driving. This guy, i think, i just not fit for living without supervision. How crazy you have to be to (nearly) kill someone over something that happens on the road. WTAF.

Anyone who looks at their phone while driving should lose their phone, vehicle, and license.

Throw a vegetable at their vehicle.

Did he drive in a Micro-Dickup? Those often are angry and I'd wish they got their tires stabbed to leak.

We dont have many of those, but the car looked like he could not afford it and he looked like he would tell people he could afford it. Different kind of dick, still a dick.

I reckon that's justification to actually damage his car. Side mirrors are quite weak to downward pressure.

These fucking entitled cyclists! Why won't they just get the fuck out of the way! It's 100% their fault for not getting out of the way of that guy's knife. Just let him thrust without putting your throat there.

I bet he didn't even war a high-viz scarf!

Better wear more reflective clothing next time, buddy! Also, how does anyone survive being stabbed in the throat?

Somebody attempted suicide with this gun by shooting themselves innyhr temple and still had to shoot twice to get the job done.

Something tells me this gun isn't very effective

[–] bowsertattoo@piefed.social 2 points 1 day ago
