While hooning about the streets of London, a Mercedes CLK AMG Black driver gets yelled at by a bicyclist. He quickly solves that problem though.

sounds awesome hot damn! is that a stock sound?

Its hard to judge what the argument was about, or who deserve what. But *******ry, especially on a public road is not welcomed, cyclist or driver.

A loud engine and peeling out is exhilarating, but it is an acquired taste, especially when one is not the driver. Please curb your desire to do this on a crowded city street at night (or day).

I don't know... I must be getting old. This kinda thing simply does not impress me. The car sounds damn good though.

Appears to have a red interior and back seats (since someone is sitting back there). May not even be a real BS.

I do not know if misfits key cars in England/Europe

This is simply telling onlookers that the people who

drive these cars are *******s

And the misfits then justify keying cars like this

as a way of imposing a fine/penalty on every owner

who drives one

This stunt does not represent the B.S. owners on this

forum (a group that I am looking to join) and has no place

on any public roadway

If you want to disagree with me - Please do


Thank-You

NOT a "perfect response." The guy is a jerk. Not cool. Makes all owners look bad.

With great power comes great responsibility.... as Uncle Ben says.

In the moment it may have seemed like a good use of power, but long term as DB COOPER noted, it is not the most responsible.

+1 exhaust sounds fierce!

I too live in SoCal and ride a bike in the mountains - to say that bikes don't belong on the road is ridiculous. If you want to race your car then drive out to willow or another track. GMR and AC are public roads. Many of us have families and would prefer to not get run down by wanna be street racers. The burnout in this video is a great example of someone having no respect for others.

Let's not open that can... Anyone with an ounce of sense knows for a fact that there are some roads cyclists should not be riding. Humans can't keep with the flow of traffic on examples of this type, no matter how large their calves or egos may be.

Who would have written such a stupid article? People like this run over children in their need to look cool. What is so cool about wasting your tires leaving rubber all over the street? The kid on the bike was right.

I agree this is why cars get keyed - jerks like this. Or jerks like this driving daddy's car. I hope Daddy's is watching this video.

This driver is likely one of the incredibly self-entitled arabs one sees about London in these kinds of cars--and driving exactly this way. London would be better off without them.

I've seen other photos of this car on social media. Doesn't look like a true CLK63 BS due to the interior and lack of AMG race seats. Not sure, but might be a Prior Design wide body kit on a CLK55 AMG?

Word on the street is the guy got arrested after this incident.

^social media coming back to bite yet again

Outstanding!

Seriously? Bicyclists don't belong on the road? They must be such an inconvenience to you. Someone needs to grow up.

The gentleman in this video was detained upon his arrival in the UAE. Police are investigating the video and claiming he was a bad ambassador to the UAE by not advocating the rules of law in a foreign country. I think the guy might get his local license suspended! UAE traffic law inforcement are big on social media and there have been cases of social media videos being used as proof against traffic offenders before! Hahahahahahahaha

MOFLO

Thanks for the update and confirmation of story seiffiky.

Doctodd33

Confirmation of what? This is just hearsay and nothing is known about what happened.

I think a video clip in one of the regional news wires moves us up one notch from hearsay

In respect to sharing the road with bicycles and pedestrians there is no way one should hoon anywhere near them. They have a right to be on the road and as the slower and more vulnerable party they have the right of way. I admire the industriousness of anyone out riding or running in traffic. It takes courage. Seriously, isn't someone else's life worthy of enough respect to take extreme care around vulnerable travelers. There are plenty of ways to enjoy a car without endangering others.

Fully concur...no reason to ever act like an a** hole.

That said, what I haven't seen any mention of the numerous bikers I've encountered over the years, who are also total jerks. You know the type...riding well into the lane (even with ample room on the shoulder), causing cars to veer into on-coming traffic, or even not using designated bike lanes and riding in traffic. Becomes especailly bad when a large group of bikers (decked out Tour de France wannabes) takes over a lane.

Bottom line...this is a two way street requiring mutual courtesy and a regard for what is safe for drivers and bikers.
