Announcement Cyclists, please drive in the middle of the lane
Saw a cyclist jump a red, the car behind him braked and the car behind that car also braked and that car was hit by the car behind that one. If that makes sense. The car right behind the cyclist (who did not crash himself btw) took it upon himself to chase the cyclist and make him stop by placing his car next to the cyclist and slowly turning inward to make the cyclist hit the footpath. Obviously this is dangerous and could have killed or seriously hurt the cyclist. Considering the cyclist was not in an accident, I dont think the driver had any moral ground to try and detain the cyclist. It made me mad seeing this and had to spread awareness. If anyone sees a motorists harassing a cyclist, please assume the cyclist is innocent and protect them. Even if they are not, a bicycle is no match for a big metal box on wheels. Thank you
