It is totally out of order - It doesn’t excuse the above for one second - but I reckon the stresses and strains of riding a bike around London all day (in the case of the despatch rider) literally turns people nuts.
Sometimes i’ll ride into town for work in rush hour - if another rider or car is being aggressive - it’s difficult not to let the red mist descend and respond in kind - mainly because you are hyped up trying to stay alive and get through the traffic as fast and efficiently as possible.
I’ve probably calmed down a bit since I got my leg smashed up (nothing to do with speed or aggression - just a stupid cager) - but this was how it was for me.
He did control it… see him every day, he always accelerates hard on that part, don’t think he realised how slippery it was:)
