I hope the fear layed out in that article title comes true. fuck this guy and every single person who supports him.

POS needs to be in jail & his drivers license taken away forever.

Sorry I was trying to point out the absurdity of passing there. Horrible driving behavior.

I also like that they're letting us know he believed the law required them to ride single file. As if that would matter even if it were true.

+ He shouldn't have had a driving license at all if he suddenly can suffer from "vertigo" behind the steering wheel!?!

ultimate smol bean test

The extended laying on of the horn as he does it is the real tell

Yep. Noticed that immediately.

This was the subject of a sci-fi novel "The Player of Games" People in this one nation competed in games to attain political rank and power. The sole purpose of that power was to be allowed to torment lesser people. More power -> more sadism -> more victims. Those people really exist.

wdym, if you believe someone is breaking traffic laws, isn’t it your god-given right to murder them?

Average Atlanta driver

some people whine about this site's use of the pejorative carbrain but you know what, if the shoe fits

Sanewashing not just limited to Cheeto Mussolini

"I was looking for an excuse to murder them, and my erroneous belief that the law requires them to ride single file provided enough self-righteous rage to tip me over."

It’s a shame the law for cyclists isn’t written down anywhere and we have to rely on what random internet commenters believe it to be

THISSSSS

It's crazy because people usually give some BS excuse for road rage about how they were rushing to some emergency. Not this guy, he takes slow road and pulls over for breaks when he needs them. JFC So he essentially admits he tried to kill these cyclists just because he didn't like them on the road

I fear even if they were obviously breaking the law by lying on the pavement and rolling home like cans of chef boyardee, he still wouldn't have the right to hit them with his car. Thats kind of the #1 rule of driving.

Even if he had been correct and they hadn’t been following the law, you don’t get to execute them for it! Record and report it!

“If you’re not single file I get to kill you!”

And sounds like he was medically unfit to be driving

It's important to note that, this man is basically identical to every anti-cyclist.

Hey dude it turns out you aren't supposed to hit bicyclists with your car even if they're riding out of formation. Rule of driving #1: do not hit things with your car.

We had this shit from a local lady here in Ontario, Canada. She followed some cyclists for a couple kilometres, recorded them with her cell phone over her steering wheel, and then yelled at them as she passed, "SINGLE FILE! IT'S THE LAW!" a) it's not the law b) using a phone while driving is

"Did you know the nice ladies have a name for him" HE RAMMED PEOPLE OUT OF IMPATIENCE

“Like some of the YouTube commenters” great stuff

He insists he did nothing wrong and to himself it's the truth if you just don't consider anyone but yourself as a person.

Attempted murder? Assault with a deadly weapon?

I am not a cyclist but I am a human. This was horrific. It's obviously pro car political crap because how can they not talk about the loss of innocent life because this guy drove into them? I would expect him to be absolutely shattered. Sick

The long horn showed state of mind and intent. That vehicle had plenty of room on the left to maintain a safe distance while he was passing, but he chose NOT to. That was ROAD RAGE, plain and simple.

I hope he croaks in the slammer

This right here is why I don’t cycle in Atlanta. I’ve commuted by bike in London; DC; Norfolk, Va.; Christchurch, NZ; and Baghdad. None of them were homicidal toward cyclists the way Atlanta is. Which sucks because I’ve mostly lived here since 1980.

Yep. They trying to make me feel bad for this homicidal asshole? Cause he can waste away in jail pour encourager les autres.

Cycling is my method of transport, it's dangerous everywhere but even more so if the drivers "feel" aggrieved. Y'all are in tanks, I'm fully exposed, just wait or clear, stop buzzing cyclist you jerks.

Passed too close and now somehow he’s the victim? He ran into that guy. Intentionally.

I agree that this was attempted murder of each and every one of them. I think that him being locked up for the rest of his life is fine; he's got to do the time for the crime!

Watching that video he either clearly intended to harm the cyclists or shouldnt have his license at all There was more than enough room for him to safely pass them that he chose not to utilize

"As close to the side as possible" is overly vague and open to interpretation. All the roads in my area have no shoulders, so my rule is to ride at least 12 inches from the edge of the asphalt. Most of the time that is inside the white line. You have to have room for error & riding around obstacles.

Maybe the law, maybe not, but often it's safer to ride more bunched because people don't try to squeeze you to the curb and the group is faster to pass.

The cyclists left him *easily* enough room to get past safely.

Look, he needs to rot in jail. But as a cyclist, it’s illegal to ride like this. Now maybe in Georgia, it’s not illegal to ride like this. But still, the point is. They shouldn’t have been biking like this, and that - in a way, they deserved it 🤷🏻‍♀️ - is that the point?

The legal answer is to pull over, call the police and inform them of the bad cyclists hogging the road.

Are you suggesting he didn't have room to avoid them??? He tried to hit them!!!

Personally, I would suggest that that long is extremely dangerous for the existence of cyclists. It’s designed to discourage cycling.

Many of those things are illegal IN THE COUNTRY IN WHICH THE CRIMES TOOK PLACE. At least one of them is a felony.

Czech cycling laws ARE a bit mad about single file riding to be fair. But they also have a strict 1.5 metre passing law and zero alcohol for both cyclists and drivers. So - if all 3 of those are enforced rigorously - maybe it is safer. Big “if” there.

Yeah, but he’s a cyclist /s

48 US states allow riding two abreast and 35 have 3-foot passing laws. That road is too narrow to pass cyclists riding single file without changing lanes no matter how far to the right they are and Georgia law allows crossing the double yellow to pass bikes. So now you know.

Exactly where he should die.

It is legal to pass slow moving traffic like cyclists, horse draw carriages, garbage collectors, or post persons, on a double yellow. As long as it is safe to pass and a respectful (at least 4ft) clearance is kept.

It would be great if someone could get the DMV records of the “journalist“ who wrote that road-rage apologia because I feel like there might be something there.

Aww he's just spreading his own version of sunshine ¡

"Brian Kohberger gets life without parole after bringing knife too close to college students."

The Chud and the writer of that headline both!

ok but thats's entirely irrelevant to the discussion

Well the driver (like almost every other driver) would be two or three abreast everywhere they go. Seems a bit hypocritical to calling for others to go single file, unless you’re prepared to do it yourself.

In many places, especially rural roads, it is recommended/encouraged as a safer option…drivers have better and earlier visibility in order to pass them safely.

jesus

Bike lane theory undefeated.

That is crazy. The first time I saw it, I thought he just fucked the merge back across and it was a mistake, but he brakes to be able to sideswipe the group.

That’s totally deliberate or he has no business being on the road. Going by his face my first guess is he’s an asshole.

The cyclists were wrong by riding three across. The driver could have crossed the double yellow because there was not oncoming traffic. The driver drove purposely drove into one cyclist. The driver then drove on. HE IS GUILTY OF HIT-AND-RUN. A FELONY.

…can we start seeing articles about the journalists who write this trash?

I do like the part about him dying in prison. That sounds good.

I gave up cycling just for this reason. Too many "accidetal" close calls

To the US Supreme Court? Buddy, no.

this accident never would have happened if they were biking solo at max effort to fight the demons in their head instead of going for a slow social ride

And a line of cyclists going 3 abreast is only a third as long as a single file one.

bsky.app/profile/myrr... mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmhm

And if you're gonna do that at least be prepared bsky.app/profile/deus...

Cry more you dumb bitch

It's safer that way.

When you own a big vechile like that and have a small penis, road markings and signage have no meaning….,

All the times I had to slow to 20 mph for tractors growing up. (In Tennessee with curvy roads, not middle America where you can see the road to the horizon).

I HOPE HE ROTS IN PRISON FOR THE REST OF HIS WORTHLESS LIFE

let him rot.

Area man who curls finger might die in prison

He intended to hit them, to knock them off their cycles, and to hurt them. Unless he was having a MAJOR medical event while driving, this is multiple attempted manslaughter, at the very least.

I bet ole’ Jerry Wayne Ross hallucinated himself into believing he had a duty to enforce that double yellow line. Like how dirty cops call themselves the blue line

Thanks for the link.

He just LOOKS like such an asshole.

we're calling it the most mildest case of road rage

Now he should

I live in east TN. At the beginning of this semester, a driver hit 9 members of a local university cycling team, killing 2 and seriously injuring others. They are still dealing with the aftermath. This look GROSSLY negligent if not intentional. I have very little sympathy for this driver.

the AJC is actually fucking insane sometimes.

I thought the same thing “get that shield off your head!”

God I want to snatch that hat right off his fucking head.

Sports uniform nerd 🤝 Comic book nerd

"a collision" is like "a police-involved shooting". The driver deliberately did it and then (it looks like from the news, not all of which I have read) drove off. Maybe he thinks Bicyclists are all Democrats and he's in a red state so it's legal to run them over?

Aggravated assault, attempted murder, probably multiple counts. Likely over 20 years in prison, and this dude looks like he's in his late 70's/80's. Yeah, he'll probably die in prison, but not because the punishment was harsh.

could? we can only hope he does

What…the…hell..! How about attempted murder..! Assault with a deadly weapon..!

Fuck Jerry.

correction: A driver attempted to murder cyclists

Well, we do have a GOP candidate (and YouTube influencer) in Texas who has bragged about wanting to run over cyclists and believes he would get away with it. You would think that alone would sink his candidacy but no.

There is obviously space and visibility to pass wide and avoid the cyclists. This is what laws are for. When one person hurts another person in avoidable circumstances.

I might imagine sb could have done sth like this in rage. But now he feels zero guilt or remorse, has only lies to tell. I do hope he spends many years in prison, he richly deserved it.
