Courier Fighting a Driver

Ah well saw this and made me smile. Toronto must be a small town though for this type of thing to make the news.

When Motorists Attack: Road Rage in the Market

Disturbing news from CityNoise, where a motorist and a bike courier got into a heated exchange and physical altercation in the Market. The story, as it is known to Torontoist, goes like this:

...the driver threw a bunch of garbage out the window, the courier picked it up and threw it back in. He got out and threw coffee on her, she keyed the car. He proceeds to stomp on her bike and then hit her before bystanders pull him away.

Scooped from Darren J of BikeRefugee, the event was parlayed to Torontoist as an example of low tolerance in the biker-motorist relationship - although we think this is a rather extreme example. There was some unverified talk of a baseball bat and police involvement, but we will refrain from commenting on that which we are unsure of (this time).

Perhaps the cramped streets of Kensington should be reserved for pedestrians only?

older than god

d'oh

all law...or just some law?

i love the fact that someone just stood bye and took photographs. classoc

Wow, doesn't he know that you don't hit girls, or drop litter?

criminal damage is quite fun. you can like burn stuff and get away with it as long as they can't prove you anticipated anything getting damaged. result.

also if you and your friend plan to kill someone by beating him to death, and then half way through, your friend stabs the guy instead, you get off scot free. yes mate.

er yes...I'm sure you're right....either way I'm not goin' to argue...in case you find out my true identity....

what a cunt.

have you "like" burnt stuff or "actually" burnt stuff???....that wasn't yours and got a way with it?

Have you conspired to murder...but luckily got away with it and you currently visit your friend in prison once a week?

Or was that all just some words?....mate.

that bloke (attacking the girl) needs to be made to regret his actions every day, he needs to be made to weep desperately for redemption ..

I suggest removing his eyes, tongue and testicles.

it's a start anyway.

He's lucky to catch me whilst I'm being so benevolent, he gets to keep his hands, ears and penis. for now.

well really, who hasn't done a little light arson down the common in their mid-teens? including one incident with a molotov cocktail where i singed like all the hair on the back of my head.

naw i'm studying law.

Listen. If someone started harrasing me (throwing junk in my car) and scratch my car (which unfortunatelly I don't have) I would get pretty f***** wild to.

She could have just told him of....

yes Jos, you're correct.

two wrongs don't make a right

Joss....you've missed the point....all car drivers are scum....unless you are a car driving cyclist like me....which is perfectly acceptable.

Winston.....how many times do I have to tell you. One S you piece of car driving scum....If I would have known that I would have never gone on tour with you.

it might be easier for you to add an "s" on your username, Joss. just to avoid any more confusion

You two have spent too many days in the van together haven't you?

don't come a knocking when the van 's a rockin'

Christ if someone hit my missus whilst she was out on a bike i would be visiting her in prison after what she would do!!!! She's bad'ass!!!! :P

more to the point WHAT is going on with those appalling shades?

She's Canadian, eh?

she would do herself a favour by purchasing one of those dandy high visibility clothing items....perhaps then the driver might have seen her and not chucked his mcdonalds bag into her path...what say you Jossy?

Personally, I think he is just trying to do her a good deed by removing her silly rear mudguard. Obviously she was losing massive style points with such a practical device fitted and he just couldn't let her continue.
