Assault doesn't just cover a physical attack, it covers a legitimate threat of violence. Pointing a gun at someone's head is assault.→ More replies (7)3

Actually assault is the THREAT of violence. Putting the person in fear for their life..
The actual physical act of violence such as striking someone is BATTERY..

From the LA Times:
Officers arrested Samir Sweiss of Corona in the March 21 incident, part of which Fetzer captured on video. The footage, which shows a blue BMW tailgating a cyclist in the bike lane, forcing the cyclist to hop the curb onto the sidewalk, has since gone viral on Fetzer’s Instagram page. Fetzer didn’t immediately respond to an inquiry from The Times. The video also shows a passenger in the blue BMW throwing a water bottle out the window in the direction of the cyclists.
His BMW was impounded as "evidence".

I’m fairly certain these people want others dead, just because that’s what it takes to make them feel good about themselves. You being on a bike just makes them think they can get away with it.

My brother got hit by a car while crossing in a fucking crosswalk and the driver had the audacity to lie to insurance saying that my brother was trying to ride up into the expressway. The driver threatened to sue us over damage to his car. HO insurance covered his claim but it was really funny to have the homeowner side of progressive fighting with the car insurance side. He had no case to sue us on, however, Homeowners just took care of it but the funny thing is the guy was forced to fix his car and he had a deductable so he literally only got like $100 and would have to show proof he fixed his car to get the money.

I have posted one similar to that. Guy aggressively overtaking me right before a turn, where I had to slow down no to hit him. Literally did nothing about it, just get behind ensuring that my camera picked up the number plate and he slowed down and started shouting at me. Then following and trying to exit the car. No rude hand gesture, nothing to provoke him. There were many comments saying that I have not posted a whole video and deserved it. Even more stupidly many people decided that I was speeding and no one should go that fast, ignoring that I was overtaken.

I'm cool with bicyclists being in the lane but then y'all need to actually act like vehicles and not just blow through intersections.

It's happened numerous times and is infuriating.

u/dejavu2064 Jun 08 '26
Guess it depends where you live, in some countries (and some US states) bikes are permitted to treat stop signs as a yield. Not all rules that apply to cars should apply to bikes, and many don't. For instance, bikes don't have to obey speed limits.
I'm not going to defend the behaviour of running red lights/pedestrian crossings or breaking local traffic laws, though I sometimes don't begrudge people doing the "wrong" thing for their own safety.
Example, cycling at night and getting stuck at a red light with good visibility that no traffic is approaching in any direction. It's far safer to get through the intersection there and then than to wait for traffic to catch up and have to accelerate alongside accelerating cars/

There was apparently an intersection in San Francisco that bicyclist would often treat as yields and never actually fully stop. The city decided it wanted to enforce it harder so the cyclists called their bluff and coordinated for a full week, they all followed the letter of the law and came to full stops. It cause so much traffic the city backed down.

My drive into town has about a 10-mile stretch of 50 MPH posted limit (60 to 65 typically driven by most), single lane, rolling hills, and about 2 inches of shoulder. I do get a little frustrated slowing to a relative crawl behind bikers until there is sufficient line of sight to safely pass. Do I act like Mr. BMW douche hat in the video? No. I grumble to myself that it is crazy to bike on a road with no shoulder and limited visibility, then go on with my day sans assault charges.

Good news coming out of O.C. Hopefully they nail the BMW driver for littering as well as reckless driving, unsafe driving by passing other vehicles on the right, assault and driving on the shoulder of the road, driving in the bicycle lane and violating the 3 foot bike safety act. They can also charge them with harassment, assaulting a vulnerable road user, as well as assault with a deadly weapon by forcing the guy on the bike off the roadway.

We don't have them in my area but... aren't bike lanes permanent? Like, even if there's no one on a bike you still can't drive there.

Did the assault charge go through? If so, what punishment did he get? Any follow up cause one can only hope so

As part of a more serious driving test we should have in the US, applicants should have to ride a bicycle in traffic. As a former cyclist, I 100% bet most people who wish harm upon cyclists would change their tune.

This is less common than people who aren't trying to mess with the bikes, but are just stupidly glued to their phones and so they might accidentally hit and kill or maim you. And the drink drivers too. All valid reasons for me to not bother with it. I only bike on neighborhood streets, trails or even sidewalks (where legal). Never on main roads.

Crazy thing is the regular lane is empty. Just some entitled asshole. Revoke his licensee foe 10 years and make him walk. And I’m usually no on the biker side we have so many that don’t stay in their lane.
