In the video released by Mr. A, the cyclist turns around and glances at Mr. A, then drives the bicycle into the middle of the road to block Mr. A's vehicle.
After that, he parks his bicycle on the road and approaches Mr. A's car with a finger.
Person A asked for advice, saying, "I've been on Paldang-gil almost every day for over 4 years, and I've seen many bike clubs, but it's the first time I've seen such a person."
In response, netizens commented, "Because bicycles are also treated as regular vehicles on the road, retaliatory driving is right", "Even if the cyclist is surprised by the horn, it is wrong to threaten other drivers", "It is wrong not to press the horn because it is misleading. It's good," and so on.
Person A, who read the comments, said, "Thank you for your comments. It may be my fault, but I will report the case to the police station."
On the other hand, if you threaten or fear the other person by driving in retaliation, the crime of special intimidation applies and can be punished by imprisonment for not more than 7 years or by a fine of not more than 10 million won.
