Daily Mail in cycling shocker!

What did you write Oliver?

This:

"But I don't care about any of that, and here's why. Twenty minutes into my test drive I pulled round a leafy bend, enjoying the birdsong - and spotted those damned Spider-Man cyclists. Knowing they wouldn't hear me coming, I stepped on the gas, waited until the split second before I overtook them, then gave them an almighty blast on the horn at the exact same time I passed them at speed.

"The look of sheer terror as they tottered into the hedge was the best thing I've ever seen in my rear-view mirror. I think this could be the car for me."

If this story is true, the writer deliberately harassed cyclists in writing his article. It is of course likely that this bit is simply made up, in which case he implicitly advocates harassing cyclists. If they actually occurred, his actions had the potential to cause a serious fall or collision. It is also highly irresponsible to suggest to impressionable drivers that such actions are worthwhile, as similar incidents do occur.

And the bit of the Code that I allege he breached:

1. i) Journalists must not engage in intimidation, harassment or persistent pursuit.
   
   

If he made up this story, he should be forced to publicly admit it and suffer the embarrassment. If he did not make it up, I believe that he breached clause 4. i).

Short and simple.
