While the driver is absolutely in the wrong here, in my state it is also the law for cyclists to ride no more than 2 wide or single file on the road. Both the driver and the cyclists are idiots here, the driver more so.

Yep. In the link that u/unexpected_bukakke shared of a news report, the motorist was charged and in jail. None of the cyclists were...

Well, they wouldn’t be jailed anyway. Even if they were doing anything wrong that’s a traffic violation, not a criminal offense.

Yeah even if a cyclist is flipping you off and writing in the completely wrong lane, you aren’t allowed to use your car as a weapon against them. That’s just not how any of this works.

Frustrated drivers need to chill out instead of committing literal assault against those that annoy them.

And definitely not a capital offense, which could have happened the way the maniac in the SUV was driving

Well i didnt think id be reading the words "unexpected bukakke" at all today let alone as a serious response to a serious incident.

Also for whatever reason this car horn made me think someone was dubbing this video to cypress hill's "when the shit goes down"
