People. On. Bikes.
It's like they think traffic rules don't apply to them. They are freaking dangerous on the road. I think you handled the situation very well. Would you really go to jail, though? It sounds like the biker was the one who did something wrong, not you :)

I'm worried. Because of a bomb threat they need to cancel a soccer game here in Germany, let's hope that nothing will happen. But if you ask me it's just a question of time when the terrorism will attack here, too. Hopefully I'm not right...
Anyways, no humans except the police aren't anymore in the stadium. Hopefully it was a wrong threat !

Really? My latest news is that they found a "dangerous thing".
Edit: I'm reading that a neighbouring musical hall don't need to be evacuated...

My news station is saying that they found an ambulance with explovives and they are now evacuating the musical hall. Don't know how accurate this is though.

www.aftonbladet.se

Let's hope nothing happens with the Sweden - Denmark game :(

It's just a rumor, they didn't find explosive things in an ambulance. Nevertheless, they are searching in every possible car.

I remember once my sister was driving to a store with me, and there were a bunch of people on bikes in the middle of the road. One of them swerved into the other lane, motioned for her to pass, and just when my sister started speeding up to get past him, he swerved BACK into our lane, and my sister had to slam on the breaks.

Man, some people are so stupid.

You have no idea of the amount of idiots on bikes I meet on the road. Some can be a real pain down there, especially those who stay in the middle of the road and prevent everyone from getting past them, or those with headphones that can't even realize what's happening around them.

And I get the fear, I felt the same the first time I felt from the motorbike. You just gotta take a deep breath and get back, a small (luckily) incident like this won't stop you.
Here we get bikers on our mountain roads and they are so annoying! They ride in the middle of the road going like 1/3 the speed of the car. Meanwhile the road is curving and there are cliffs like every turn.

Here we have some stupid bikers too. One person, nicknamed by my family as "the crazy biker lady", chooses to bike around the local middle school right when school lets out and when school starts. She completely disregards the rules of the road, and causes confusion in the small streets filled with cars. Another is this stupid kid who cut off the school bus I was on just because he wanted to be a jerk.

If you ride bikes/walk on the roads like an idiot around here you get plastered on the grill of someone's car, so you don't encounter it often enough to be an annoyance.

Natural selection.

Almost killed someone on the road.

I was going 60 mph and increasing, since I was in the fast lane. Then, this kid on a bike goes STRAIGHT into my lane. My instinct was to swerve right, where there were less cars passing by, but also a fast lane.. At that moment, a big, red ORV was passing beside me on that lane, cutting off my only safe escape. It was either that or the kid. I chose the ORV and swerved right whilst slamming on the breaks, all the while praying that I wouldn't get into too much trouble. Luckily, the ORV saw this and was able to move away just in the nick of time, and my car just barely hit the back of the kid's bike. I angrily honked the horn until he was off the road. My car's bumper now has a millimeter-wide hole where it hit the screw thingy on the rear of the bike.

Man, if I hadn't made that split second decision, I could be in jail for life right now. And if that dude driving the ORV didn't move away just in time, all three of us could have been in deep, deep shit.

I'm terrified of getting back on the road right now.

*sigh*
holy crap, t-chu. gotta watch out for these idiots on the road.

Kids have absolutely no respect/regard for the road and don't seem to have the consciousness that they can get injured/killed in it just because they're right in front of their home.

I remember when we were driving through our neighborhood and there were 6 kids, all around age 13-15 playing basketball. They got out of the way so we could pass. We start driving through and they jump right in front of the car, trying to 'get to the other side of the street'.

Once they cleared out, we start driving about halfway through the block at about 10 mph. They started running towards us and jump in front of the car again. Because one of them running right infront of the car (on purpose), the vehicle "hit badly" one kid's leg (it was just a bump), and he started fake crying and running to his parents and said we purposely hit him. They started cussing us out and stuff.

A neighbor that knew us and saw what happened came out and told the whole thing to the parents. The mother acted all like, "oh. well. ok. sorry. that was very bad of you, dequan. you should be ashamed of yourself.".

You literally have to put your foot on the brakes and ready to stop when you see kids/bikers/jaywalkers, because they'll just get right in front of you. And don't tell the parents or anything, because most of the time, they won't do jack. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
