Sydney bus driver bashed by cyclist in roadrage attack
"Dr. Sir John Howard, AC, WSCMoF" ." wrote in message ... Exactly. But we do know what the cyclist did. Clearly, the cyclist is an arsehole who thought he was king of the road. I wouldn't mind hearing the cyclist's side of the story or at least a word or two from the passengers before reaching a conclusion as definitive as that. |

Since there were no reported comments from passengers apart from what happened to the driver, I doubt any of them noticed anything. -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ipvdBnU8F8 - KRudd at his finest. "The Labour Party is corrupt beyond redemption!" - Labour hasbeen Mark Latham in a moment of honest clarity. "This is the recession we had to have!" - Paul Keating explaining why he gave Australia another Labour recession. "Silly old bugger!" - Well known ACTU ****pot and sometime Labour prime minister Bob Hawke responding to a pensioner who dared ask for more.

Clearly the fact that he was blatantly using a road that he was not entitled to attests to part of the statement (aside from whether the law should be different) |

I see the ABC report says the driver merely 'sounded' his horn - very decorous. Yer, right, excuse if I wait for that to be confirmed before deciding that the bicyclist was a total nut case as they are trying to make out. I thought all buses were equiped with radios these days. So why didn't the driver report it immediately. I'm sure the police would have been all over the spot in minutes. |

Lol, the bus drive has now admitted to "overtaking the bicyclist" and I guess we all know what really happened. |

By all means get the law changed but until then stay off it.(I would love to be able to use it on a cycle or motorbike as it is an empty white elephant most of the time) |

Sorry, having a horn in your ear is not a reason to commit assault. Yes, the assault is not yet proven, but neither is the loudness or length or timing or even existence of the horn blast. Zebee |

And if you think you know what happened because of the word "overtake" terry, you are being a fool. You think you know because your prejudice is speaking for you.

And likewise, being in the wrong lane causing some inconvenience is rarely reason to have ones life put unnecessarily at risk, which the cyclist pretty clearly thought had happened. -- TimC Did you know that in German, Usenet bulletin boards are called Gruppenareabrettecholistennetzs? - James "Kibo" Parry |
