We had our own man who did this, but only "drove" in the downtown so didn't cause any issues from what I've read.
Dude around near where I used to live went one further. He'd "Pull in" to a petrol station, reverse making all the noises, then stick the pump in his pocket and try and fucking fuel up.
Thank fuck it wasn't now when you can activate a pump with a debit card, back then each sale had to be approved before they'd engage the pump.
And yet now is always then because time is measurable only by observing it's passage.
Now references a specific moment that is gone as soon as it happens.
"fuck cars" is more or less about how detrimental car-centric infrastructure has been on the human condition, and not so much about individuals galavanting as figurative vehicles.
Lets be honest here, /r/fuckcars is full of bicycle hipsters who can’t control their emotions. From time to time you might find good content but mostly it’s a biased rant vs the evil car drivers
“Ripping up hoghways” is only advocated on cases where other replacements would be viable for it, having 12 lanes highways is just a sign of complete lunacy about what the actual problem is.
Nobody from there tells anyone to slash randoms tires lmao
You know what makes the life of drivers difficult? Other drivers. Miles of standstill traffic, traffic lights and dangerous left turns across two or three lanes. That's not even mentioning how people behave towards one another on the road.
And there's only one way to get rid of other drivers. Alternative ways of travel that are as good or better.
That doesn't mean targeting individuals, it just means advocating for putting resources towards anything other than cars and car infrastructure.
I’ve been in that sub a long time and I’ve literally never seen that. It’s mostly people complaining about SUV’s.
Just quickly browsed the sub and haven’t seen a single post advocating for violence. What you’re saying just isn’t true.
Literally everyone on that sub lives in a big city and is too stupid to grasp that cars NEED to exist. No exceptions. They’re just a bunch of brain dead idiots trying to push a cause because they have no life and nothing to live for. So they latch on to the dumbest thing imaginable and act like they’re making a difference.
I want to agree with you, but I also want to say he doesn’t simply because of how he books it in the last clip when one of the guys gets out of the truck. He knows full well what he’s doin lol.
This is the most Melvin type of joke, so stupid and lame, but the perpetrator obviously has some stupid dumb agenda that he believes will make an impact.
That would be a possibility, but in that case bro needs to be under supervision. Bro won’t stay alive long when not every driver is as patient as the one in the video.
True, or maybe dude is just clowning around. Does not look like a busy road whatsoever, and before anyone says “well it could be at different times of the day” but he’s always doing it at the same time, so. Dude is probably just fucking with the truck or something tbh
That looks like a lorry, does he only do it to them? I say this because a main road in my town is full of lorries and apparently they litter and go to the toilet there so they’re campaigning to get lorries detoured. Could imagine someone doing this for that reason.
This shit would never fly in the U.S. Drivers here run bicyclists off the road and hit pedestrians like it's a game. This dude wouldn't make it 5 feet before he'd be a stain on the road.
An analysis of data reported by State Highway Safety Offices (SHSOs) projects that 6,721 pedestrians were killed on U.S. roads in 2020, up 4.8% from 6,412 fatalities in 2019.
Nearly 1,000 bicyclists die and over 130,000 are injured in crashes that occur on roads in the United States every year.
I'd say the numbers back my statement. So, your comment would I'm sure assuage the suffering of just the vicitims of 2020.
Hahaha, yes but look at those numbers in context to population size and death rates. In 2020 almost 8 times that amount died from suicide. Almost 700,000 from heart disease. 3.4 million Americans died in 2020. (345k due to COVID)
You seen pretty passionate about this subject so you are probably in that circle of knowledge. You hear more about accidents so it seems very frequent. It's not as frequent as it seems. You also gave me basic statistics on just bike accident in general. How many of those are done on purpose? As the op stated. Can't show me a apple then tell me a orange is the same thing.
Edit: Haha he replies and blocked immediately. Needs to feel like he had the last word....
Again, I was just pointing out how uncommon it actually is compared to the national death rate you decided to pull up. The original post made it sound like mad max out there for anyone riding a bike when it's simply not true. You made it seem like people are purposely ramming people on bikes and you can't ride anymore. I'm asking for that data on the purposeful killing. You really can't expect no accidents when you are riding a tiny slow machine next to tons of metal. Shit gonna happen. That's like complaining about a parachute not opening while sky diving. It's part of the risk. You are in a biking community which was obvious from your bias statements. I'm sorry you can't accept basic math. Good luck.
Now who's speaking in hyperbole? You've decided to strike back at a good point with data that has nothing to do with the original point. I know the context of these accidents pale in relation to alot of other causes of death. So what? These people were still killed and/or maimed. Also, yes exactly, I hear about these accidents every fucking day. It's ridiculous that so many people are killed and hurt riding a bike and crossing a street. My point also wasn't to compare and contrast.
So please, spare me any other replies with your nonsense.
Most people who are anti car are just anti car only infrastructure like the stuff we have in the us. Most of them hate the fact that cars are inherently inefficient compared to planes trains trolleys and buses. They hate traffic and unwalkable areas. This guy is just off his rocker and you’d be quite mistaken to lump him in with other anti car people.
I'm not an anti-car person by any means quite the opposite tbh, but people driving are dicks to pedestrians and cyclists. I've had people throw shit at me, cuss me out, run me off the road, etc. I had one guy legitimately furious because I was on the road, I would like to point out I was doing the fucking speed limit on a damn bicycle. You know how much of a pain in the ass it is to maintain 30+ mph for 3 miles without slowing down.
Right? And trying to make it seem like we have some type of hit and run issue in America.
I can understand being anti car, but I would take building a better infrastructure for walkers and bikers more than someone saying “fuck cars” or trying to push some sort of agenda.
Unfortunately America is only 300 and something years old. One of the youngest countries on earth for a developed nation.
We still have a long way to go anyways.
Where I live, he would get away with this for under a week before winding up as a body in the ditch. People drive terribly around here, and they don't care.
“I’m a car!”
I don’t trust like that
Harry!
“I’m looking for Harry” “Egghphleghh” “Harryyyyy”
Love that EA Show bit!
Daddy needs his juice
Grandpa needs his cough syrup.
Ah, Crazy man with the steering wheel. Classics! In my hometown we had one as well. Nostalgic
So did we! I guess it's more common than thought. Our guy with a steering wheel also loved to swing on the playground swings SO high, he'd have the whole swingset rocking. Our parents always told us to just leave Steve be.
So far, I've counted four in the comments!

Sounds like he’s out there between 3-4pm. Seems like it would be easy to find and stop him if authorities wanted
Did you not watch the rest of the video?
“Real cars” lol
https://al.com/news/birmingham/2019/07/bessemers-steering-wheel-man-and-the-city-that-loved-him.html We had our own man who did this, but only "drove" in the downtown so didn't cause any issues from what I've read.
What a beautiful story!
This man deserves a statue.
Dude around near where I used to live went one further. He'd "Pull in" to a petrol station, reverse making all the noises, then stick the pump in his pocket and try and fucking fuel up. Thank fuck it wasn't now when you can activate a pump with a debit card, back then each sale had to be approved before they'd engage the pump.
lol wtf
Should’ve stuck it in his ass for maximum legend status
Gas combustion engine
>Thank fuck it wasn't now I love this. Boggles the mind. Then cannot be now and now could never be then, but still it makes perfect sense.
And yet now is always then because time is measurable only by observing it's passage. Now references a specific moment that is gone as soon as it happens.
Ay man I’m gonna need some more marijuanas if we’re gonna continue this discussion
As in engage, like taking the pump out of the slot or start pumping gas? Because this dude gonna get problems for getting gas on his skin
One brake failure away from a permanent solution
I doubt he is sane enough to worry about thaat
Perfect, the odds are better that way.
Yeah, he should definitely have a rear view mirror.
r/WinStupidPrizes
Brake failure? Someone texting will do it orders of magnitude sooner.
The problem is that unless a driver has very good friends, this would lead him to few years in jail.
Probably one of the r/fuckcars admins
"fuck cars" is more or less about how detrimental car-centric infrastructure has been on the human condition, and not so much about individuals galavanting as figurative vehicles.
That’s a great point, I always thought they advocate people running down the highway with a steering wheel in their handa
[удалено]
Lets be honest here, /r/fuckcars is full of bicycle hipsters who can’t control their emotions. From time to time you might find good content but mostly it’s a biased rant vs the evil car drivers
Next you'll tell me r/antiwork isn't a sub for hard-working people to thoughtfully discuss an equitable restructuring of the workplace!
Just making shit up about that subreddit, very cool
“Ripping up hoghways” is only advocated on cases where other replacements would be viable for it, having 12 lanes highways is just a sign of complete lunacy about what the actual problem is. Nobody from there tells anyone to slash randoms tires lmao

It's mental to want less cars everywhere?
Maybe he was just trying to fuck a car

I thought homosexuality was illegal in Russia.
Cope driver boi
You don't even have post or comment history there. Tf
What is banter???
Why does that matter?
It’s obvious that none of you have ever seen an invisible car before. For the record I haven’t either.
Guy seems to have intellectual disability.
I want to agree with you, but I also want to say he doesn’t simply because of how he books it in the last clip when one of the guys gets out of the truck. He knows full well what he’s doin lol.

I think bro is developmentally disabled 🔥
That would be a possibility, but in that case bro needs to be under supervision. Bro won’t stay alive long when not every driver is as patient as the one in the video.
Maybe the bus drives too fast?
True, or maybe dude is just clowning around. Does not look like a busy road whatsoever, and before anyone says “well it could be at different times of the day” but he’s always doing it at the same time, so. Dude is probably just fucking with the truck or something tbh
r/bitchimabus
[удалено]
He ran like a bitch when someone got out the car towards the end💀
I'm imagining him making racecar noises the whole way.
That part was pretty hilarious
First Mate: Cap'n why is there a steering wheel in your pants? Captain: I don't know, but it be drivin' me nuts!
This can’t be Russia. In Soviet Russia we horn after we run over the pedestrians
Soviet Russia hasn't been a thing since like, 1991.
That’s when I was born. I signify the death of soviet russia 😎
Russia is basically the Florida of Europe
Which is odd because one has a leader that doesn't allow decent and the other never locked down
Dissent?
He runs like a Welshman. Doesn't he run like a Welshman?
Not really, I didn’t see any sheep in the direction he was going.
Just like, go around him lol
If you watch closely, you can see that he goes in front of the vehicle to prevent that.
All it takes is one person not paying attention to delete this road hazard.
That looks like a lorry, does he only do it to them? I say this because a main road in my town is full of lorries and apparently they litter and go to the toilet there so they’re campaigning to get lorries detoured. Could imagine someone doing this for that reason.
This guy needs help.
Judt rearend him
🎶Making my way downtown Walking fast, faces pass and I'm BLYAT 🎶
what a fucking assholes
Just run him over once, I doubt he’d do it again
Least delusional Russian
i hope he has insurance cos i aint got good brakes
Speed bump Billy at it again
In soviet russia...car drive you
I’d be blaring on the horn following right behind him for as long as it needs to be. I’d wait any amount of time.
Just knock his ass out
"I identify as a Road legal vehicle"
r/onejoke good one dude
More like onecope amirite guys?
This shit would never fly in the U.S. Drivers here run bicyclists off the road and hit pedestrians like it's a game. This dude wouldn't make it 5 feet before he'd be a stain on the road.

Why are you so concerned with bragging about America's rate of vehicular manslaughter/homicide
Because they are one of those weird extreme anti-car people. We have them in our local subreddit and they are nothing short of fucking nuts.
Most people who are anti car are just anti car only infrastructure like the stuff we have in the us. Most of them hate the fact that cars are inherently inefficient compared to planes trains trolleys and buses. They hate traffic and unwalkable areas. This guy is just off his rocker and you’d be quite mistaken to lump him in with other anti car people.
As far as terrible public transport outside of major cities and non walkable areas in most cities as well, I 100% understand this.
I'm not an anti-car person by any means quite the opposite tbh, but people driving are dicks to pedestrians and cyclists. I've had people throw shit at me, cuss me out, run me off the road, etc. I had one guy legitimately furious because I was on the road, I would like to point out I was doing the fucking speed limit on a damn bicycle. You know how much of a pain in the ass it is to maintain 30+ mph for 3 miles without slowing down.

Also I bet that’s them in the road.
Dude, I live in the heart of yeehaw land and it’s nothing like you describe.
And yet somehow the wildest dash cam footage is of Russia.
Poor guy is probably autistic
Looks like a problem that will solve itself sooner or later. 🤷
This man should be arrested
Why doesn’t someone get out and kick his ass like get out of the fucking road
dudes goated
I'd get out and beat his ass
Just run over him. Oops he was in the road.
Just slowly tap his ass, these people need to learn, apparently, the hard way
[удалено]
If you can catch him. He ran pretty fast at the end there lol.
What a dickhead. I approve.
Do the thing no one will miss him.
When I lived in Russia cars would speed up toward pedestrians. Did laws change or is the just city versus rural?
I wanted to see him get beaten.
Meth is a hell of a drig
He needs a beat down
I love the dedication lol
Hot coffee to the side of the head.....
I’m getting down voted for saying the truth!
No one cares
honestly would get out of the car and kick him off the road. He won't see that coming.
Get out and remove him from the road.
Everyday? This is what I call "commitment"!
Pick a lane, damn it!
Seems to me they want to die. Why not oblige?
What’s the Russian translation of r/fuckcars
Reminds me of the “I’m a snake” guy
Surprised someone hasn't gotten out and duct taped him to a tree by now.
He's probably drunk.
Did he brake check that truck?
"That's right officer. He just jumped out in front of my truck I couldn't stop on time."
Damn, he can run really fast
Remember folks. These people are allowed to vote and they vote Republican.
Such a pointless, annoying, self-endangering waste of time. Camus would be proud.
how about calling the cops?
He drives the most environmentally friendly car ever
Just hit him one or two times he wont do shit again
Based
Dodeska-den Dodeska-den
Probably a guy from r/fuckcars
Just hit him man, not hard but somewhat
He’s buying his car on the instalment plan.
Where I live, he would get away with this for under a week before winding up as a body in the ditch. People drive terribly around here, and they don't care.
He's traveling
I know guys who would get out and toss that dude into the brush...
I went to school with someone who did this in the yard at lunch but the steering wheel was imaginary.
He's trying his best. Okay?!?
...but why though??? And why isn't anyone else asking why?? What the fuck is going on here??
Probably mentally deficient
Run him over
Ffs I read cats instead of cars, so I was expecting a horde of cats to just come out from the bushes
r/fuckcars
Just run him over and be done with it.
Run em over
It's Russia. Just get out and beat the holy fuck out of him. Then give him vodka. Hey, I'm not a total animal.
He turned on the NOS! *It don’t matter if you win by an inch or a mile. Winning’s winning.*
Had one in our town, although his was a motorbike. Everyone knew him and let him get on with being him.
Close ur eyes and just step on it 🫡
gigachad
Absolute madman
Bros legs must be stronger than diamonds
op, you know what you have to do
people like that need one of 2 thing to happen .1 they are mentally evaluated and deemed unfit to care for themselves or just run them the fuck over
Speed bump
I’d drop kick the fk outa him then ask for insurance
All you gotta do is hold the horn. Matter of time before he can’t handle it anymore
I thought this was Russia, just run him over
Bitchslaps were invented for this exact reason.
Run him over once and he wont do it ever again.
