I saw this video on TikTok. The amount of people who think it's okay to do this is insane. Even if you genuinely believe the cyclists don't have the right to ride like they were, that doesn't suddenly make it acceptable to drive like this. "Two wrongs don't make a right" is literally something we reach children lol, but I guess people still haven't learned that.

I don't know what it is about being in a driver's seat that makes people so aggressive.

The headline credits the car for the agression. The car didn't do it, the driver did.

What a garbage rag. They seriously are putting this on bikers for not "moving to the right." I'm fucking livid with this crap and that editor should be fired. Garbage people running that news organization.

It's not just this rag. It's all of capitalist media.

Which begs the question if you can swerve non-aggressively through a crowd of cyclists.

This community exists as a sister community/copycat community to the r/fuckcars subreddit.

This community exists for the following reasons:

Rules

  1. Be nice to each other. Being aggressive or inflammatory towards other users will get you banned. Name calling or obvious trolling falls under that. Hate cars, hate the system, but not people. While some drivers definitely deserve some hate, most of them didn't choose car-centric life out of free will.

  2. No bigotry or hate. Racism, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, homophobia, chauvinism, fat-shaming, body-shaming, stigmatization of people experiencing homeless or substance users, etc. are not tolerated. Don't use slurs. You can laugh at someone's fragile masculinity without associating it with their body. The correlation between car-culture and body weight is not an excuse for fat-shaming.

  3. Stay on-topic. Submissions should be on-topic to the externalities of car culture in urban development and communities globally. Posting about alternatives to cars and car culture is fine. Don't post literal car fucking.

  4. No traffic violence. Do not post depictions of traffic violence. NSFW or NSFL posts are not allowed. Gawking at crashes is not allowed. Be respectful to people who are a victim of traffic violence or otherwise traumatized by it. News articles about crashes and statistics about traffic violence are allowed. Glorifying traffic violence will get you banned.

  5. No reposts. Before sharing, check if your post isn't a repost. Reposts that add something new are fine. Reposts that are sharing content from somewhere else are fine too.

  6. No misinformation. Masks and vaccines save lives during a pandemic, climate change is real and anthropogenic - and denial of these and other established facts will get you banned. False or highly speculative titles will get your post deleted.

  7. No harassment. Posts that (may) cause harassment, dogpiling or brigading, intentionally or not, will be removed. Please do not post screenshots containing uncensored usernames. Actual harassment, dogpiling or brigading is a bannable offence.

Please report posts and comments that violate our rules.
