Aggressive anti-cyclist scores a $600 fine

29 Apr, 2026 - 2 weeks ago - on Rototai Road

Was heading down an empty road in a 50 km/h zone when a driver zoomed up behind at excessive speed, honked their horn, and was so close their side mirror just missed my handlebar. The police said that my video was "pure gold" and the driver received a $600 fine.
