Ludicrous assumptions due to a wish to blame the motorist, which itself is due to a general hatred of cars, which itself is due to a serious mental condition, which itself is due to...well, who knows. Perhaps he got a bump on the head from being knocked over by a cyclist? (After all, if it was a motorist, there might be something faintly rational about his behaviour, and that's definitely not the case.)
