  • "When will this pathetic attitude towards cyclists end. Car drivers need to realise that they are in control of a dangerous vehicle capable of causing serious injury and death. Slow down, check your mirrors, give plenty of room to cyclists. So what if he overtook you earlier and you want to "get back at him". Stop being so pathetic and grow up because that attitude costs lives. I am not saying that is what happened here but it does happen."
