KTLA: Competitive cyclists nearly run down by raging Orange County drivers
John@ai6yr so weird. I've ridden that stretch a lot, and I would say cars are generally cool.
Like once in 30 years I saw someone who didn't understand what the lines and the road meant and was upset about where the bicycles were.
@ai6yr "An arrest has been made in a Newport Beach road rage incident involving a BMW driver and a pair of cyclists that was caught on video."
Mathaetaes@buckfiftyseven @ai6yr of course it was a BMW driver.
I don’t know what it is about that car, or people attracted to it, but most of my negative driving encounters involve BMWs. Maybe they’ve just got really big blind spots? Or maybe they attract assholes….
The second place goes to distracted women in SUVs… but it’s a *distant* second.
@mathaetaes @buckfiftyseven They attract a**holes.
I was shopping with my dad (who really, really, really wanted a BMW), and their salespeople are a***holes, and they refused to even talk to us, and then when my dad mentioned he was going to pay cash they UPPED their offer price (he did not buy the vehicle there). I have no idea why he wanted a BMW, and he shouldn't be driving anyway, and it sucks that he bought a BMW, because... BMW drivers.
