This one gives a whole new meaning to punishment passes...the clip was originally posted to Facebook by a profile named Sonny Oldenburger with the caption, "If you use my lane, I will use your lane...ciao". It came to our attention via the suitably named 'Idiots in Cars' Reddit page and shows a driver leaving the road to overtake a cyclist, presumably to prove some kind of point about where he 'should' be riding...

From the speculation in the comments and a bit of local knowledge, the video seems to have come from Germany. One commenter explained the path to the right is a shared-use route and the road likely has a speed limit of 60mph (100kph).

Your top (sensible) comment summed it all up nicely: "Wanna see an otherwise normal-seeming person act like a deranged psychopath? Put them behind the wheel of a car on a road with someone riding a bicycle. It's truly amazing how irrationally mad riding a bike on the road makes some folks."

Another reply commented: "Well, it is called 'Idiots in Cars'. He fits the description perfectly. Would be nice to include an IQ test for the driving exams."
