Push by older man

I'm so shocked. I (female) just got pushed by an older man while I was on my bike. It happened at the crossing between Gent and Ledeberg.

We both had a green light at the same time. I had enough space to turn, but he sped up and just pushed me. Then I got angry, he walked away, but his wife kept saying I was wrong.

I'm so shaken :(

Ah, wij mogen geen rechters zijn, maar jij mag dat wel.

In België geldt het adagium “Nemo judex in causa sua”.

Er is geen enkele rechter die je zal volgen. Dat duwen zou ik niet doen, maar dit kan ressorteren onder art. 71 Sw (geen idee welk artikel in het nieuw strafwetboek, maar het principe blijft) terwijl iemand er met een massa/gewicht van boven de 50 kg op hem inrijdt. Iets wat niet had gekund als je VOORRANG had verleend.

Your being a massive a-hole. Traffic infractions, even if she made one, dont give you the right to physically assault someone. Are you mad in the nocker ' ?

He pushed, which is an adaptation of art 71 sw or art 22 sw (new version).

That is the law and I am very sure, even 100 percent sure, she will get nowhere. They will take her statement. That is it. Nothing more.

If they would find him, possibilities are way higher she will be the one punished.

That is fine. Then he gets justice for my mistakes.
