OK. When I first saw this, I faulted the driver of the car. Seems obvious. But then I looked again and saw a few mitigating factors.
The two cyclists were going slow, side-by-side on a two lane road where the speed limit had to be at least 55.
Second, this was a no-passing area (double yellow line), meaning there was no way to legally get around them. You had to go their speed -- which was crawling.
Third, at the very beginning of the video, you can see a white truck which did pass by swinging well into the oncoming lane, placing himself in danger by so doing.
Lastly, the second driver, who was having none of this, passed and swung back into his lane a little too quickly.
Who in the f**k did these rude and ignorant cyclists think they were, hogging the road with their antics, with cars stacked up behind them unable to legally pass? Where's the courtesy of moving to the right to allow them to pass?
