Technically this doesn’t involve cars at all? The attack was done on foot. The article doesn’t mention the motivation at all. “Unprovoked” is pretty broad. Wish there was more info.
There are videos floating online, there was some sort of verbal altercation followed by this guy getting out of the car and hurling the cyclist to the ground by the neck.
Couldn’t tell you who started the argument but the physical attack was certainly unprovoked and escalatory.
Probably a right of way argument.
I've noticed a lot of fuckcars is really more like fuck people and is sort of loosely related to cars.
An altercation stemming from a dispute about vehicular traffic is not "loosely related to cars". Road rage isn't isolated to only ramming things with your car. "Car brain" isn't something that disappears as soon as you step out of the vehicle.
No, it's fuck carholes, who are not people at all.
Every ecocodally narcissistic "person" behind the wheel of a car has already made the decision that their convenience is more important than the planet they live on or the safety of anyone around them, so every driver is one split second away from being the murderous psychopath that got away with attempted murder in this particular story.
