Sitting behind my keyboard I can safely say that I would have disarmed him and then knocked him out with a single punch and then torched his car.

This is why we must say no to road rage. Turn the other cheek as someone once said.

Didn’t somone nail him to a tree?

Wonder how he enjoyed his trip to court this morning.

“yup
My rule is quite clear these days – I do not hang around if the driver looks like getting out of the car.”

I do. I just get so close to their door that they can’t open it. And if they try I can force it shut again.

Tee hee – like it

Lock yourself in his car.

Of course, they could always wind the window down and stab you.

I’d call elfin to come and hit ‘im.

I’m not impressed with you lot at all today. Why has no one pointed out that you need to nuke him from orbit; it’s the only way to be sure.

Plod is the sensible answer but if it all goes wrong, someone pulling a knife does give you some benefits. You know what they’re going to do, with which hand and when.

Plus, if someone really knows how to use a knife, you wont see it.

What would I do? Probably make a brown mess in my shorts.

I’d go back under the bridge

damn you and your common sense

What did you do in the first place to make him get his weapon out?

don’t worry, his solicitor will have your name, address and personal details as part of the witness statement

Wondering this also, I mean I’m perfectly willing to believe there are nutters about but to actually pull a knife on a cyclist seems to suggest he’s a proper mentalist with serious anger issues…
Unless you were shagging his missus across the bonnet I can’t see a bit of everyday “Traffic banter” leading to knives…

Having a knife would be possesion of an offensive weapon surely

Unless he was about to make a sandwich?

Where do you live? I want to come and live there.

You gonna supply a box for him to stand on?

He didn’t specify where on his body elf was going to hit him. Knees are very tender areas.

Beirut, it’s quite nice these days… Where do you live, sounds like somewhere to avoid…

Honestly though, the world isn’t all as bad as the Mail makes out, the OPs experience is the exception not the rule…

Step away from short weapons like knives.
Step into long weapons.

If you cant cycle away, you can put your bike between you and your attacker and use it to block attacks.

I would have owned him with my eyes like Mel Gibbon and that big dog in Lethal Weapon 65

or this

Beat them to death with my penis

Might have taken a while mind

What tyres for knife protection?

A QR seatpost with a pointy end makes a fine stealthy self defense sword type thingy. 😀
