Comment on Driver claims cyclist punched him in face and threw bike at car, causing £1,000 worth of damage, after motorist hit him “at about 2mph”

I’ll play devils advocate here and say that I have once seen a taxi driver slightly boop a cyclist at traffic lights (the car rolled forward slightly and touched the cyclists wheel) who then moved slightly forward and raised his hand casuallly at the driver to say “no biggie”. Another cyclist then wheels back to the drivers window and just screams bloody murder at him.

Like, I get it - he should be more attentive - but the response from the other cyclist was disproportionate
