Motorist accused of deliberately targeting 27-year-old Paul Varry in road rage incident

Ian Brossat, a former Paris councillor and now a senator representing the French Communist party, called for SUVs to be banned in Paris. “This is not the first incident of its kind, and the dangerous nature of SUVs has already been pointed out on several occasions. We owe it to this young man to realise the scale of the problem and draw all the consequences,” Brossat told the Nouvel Obs.

    I think the outrage is due to the fact it was a cyclist. You can try driving round Paris and it’ll take years off your life.

    Cycling is a whole different story. Drivers respect cyclists and give them a wide berth; they won’t overtake unless they can leave at least a metre. It’s just the done thing

    Damn right this cunt should have the book thrown at him

      So it’s less that the person rightfully was punished and more newsworthy that someone broke that code of conduct? That makes more sense. I think the modem news is making me more cynical than I would like.

      Thanks for the insight!
