Road rage fail: Aggressive NZ driver who hates cyclists

Where's the fail in that? With the volume off you would actually think he was much more courteous than many motorists would be.

With the volume on I found myself agreeing with both the sentiment and the language.

Share the road ...

Worst part is him filming with his phone while driving.

That was fuckin hilarious, had to love the hillbillie cussin going on.... But its not road rage.

He gave them their 1.2m clearance (which is voluntary), politely asked to smile for camera.
Would have been funny if he did overtake at start as the oncoming victim would have been a cyclist, talk about irony.

So summary of alledged offences:

Hillbilly dude - One count of using cellphone to film while driving, minor offence. Possible improper overtaking (only a $150 fine).

Cyclists - Following too closely to each other. Failing to pull left to allow faster traffic to pass. Many probably on illegal racing tyres not suitable for highway use under vehicle specification laws.

Lame arse youtube channel with one video (138 views) and zero subscribers - Copyright infringer for using video and pictures without permission, possibly defamation and harassment charges too.

If there had've been a farm tractor and trailer,or a milk tanker having driven back out onto the road, this idiot would have still been in the same frame of mind.

Tractors pull over onto the dirt mostly as soon as they can and milk tankers are rocket ships these days compared to pack of cyclists.

The guy in the car was a wanker too.

Why did he not toot his horn so they would shift over and make way for him instead of talking to himself ...

That was my first thought. Whether they would have moved single file, double abreast whatever, if he had is another story. Sometimes it's just a case of another [group of] self-centred road user[s] being oblivious to other road users - those kinds of people behave as if it's everyone else's responsibility to keep them safe on the road instead of proactively doing it for themselves.

Whatchoo talkin' 'bout Willis?

His use of so much bad language sure made it sound like he'd wound himself up for this one - he just needs to chill and concentrate on his driving and put the camera down.

The only 'fail' is on the part of the cyclists. They would have been the first to complain if one of them got clipped by the motorist.

That wouldn't be irony at all. What would be irony is if the ranter caused an accident by failing to give enough space to and be aware of what is behind him; ie, his actions being the opposite of his expressed intent.

I have road ridden for years and I feel the cyclists were a tad ignorant.
They would have known cars were behind them? and common courtesy would have been to fall into single file..
Tail end charlie would have or should have stated 'car back'
That is what we used to do and back in the day there was a regular Tuesday bunch, and a huge Sunday bunch ride from Royal Oak south...

The driver worked himself up for nothing....They would have been going at a good clip 30-32 kph and it wouldn't have been prudent to overtake anywhere until the road was clear.
Even then he fucked it up and was so wound up he didn't think of oncoming traffic...

I did notice the nice Crucifix on the mirror though....
Perhaps he should have waved that at them and exorcised his right to be on the road...
Bit of a tosser and loved his own voice for sure!

That driver is an idiot. The cyclists were protecting themselves from fuctards. If they had gone into a pace line fuckknuckle would have passed them anyway which is insanely dangerous. Fuck him, and fuck anyone who thinks his opinion is OK.
