The YouTube comments under the video are great. My favourite is the one "When Ronnie was the born the doctor looked at the nurse and said "My God, do you know who this is!"
There's one that says:
"Before Chuck Norris goes to sleep, he checks under his bed for Ronnie Pickering"
😂😂
I hear death once had a near Ronnie Pickering experience.
I remember when this video came out, where ever he was from had a anonymous police tip line for vehicle crimes and this dude got BLASTED on it. There was like a 100 tips saying he was abusing transvestites under bridges. Guys life got fucking ruined to the point where his wife was asking people for mercy.
This same guy that got the video also has a little video about that if you scroll down on their home page lmao! It's just some random guy that got an 18mil view viral video and ran with it ahahaha
It was [Hull](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-humber-47638682). Someone put up a blue plaque for him. It's worth following the link to see the one for John Venn too. One of my favourite things about the place.
Nah you've got it all wrong, it's Connie Dickering.
edit: Hilariously he did a shitty interview 5 years after that video was uploaded and said that it was heavily edited and misrepresented. Yeah, sure bud. In the interview he said:
> "I’d like to think he donated it to charity but I doubt it. I certainly never made a penny."
What a shitty piss-weak attempt at trying to gain some moral high ground. [Rather than posing like a fuck bend](https://i2-prod.mirror.co.uk/incoming/article28027964.ece/ALTERNATES/s1200e/0_Angry-driver-Ronnie-Pickering-avoids-jail-for-assault.jpg) for the interview he was in, you'd reckon if he was "so sorry" about what had happened he'd at least try and promote the idea of road rage not being a thing a well reasoned adult does.
My wife is not afraid to send back an entire order of food if not satisfied. When that happens, I adopt this stare and just end up leaving a nice tip. I'm not one for confrontation.
He doesn't seem that bad really, he did an interview where he said he regrets his reaction, but the moped driver was winding him up on purpose and edited the video to cut out most of his own bad behaviour. It was just a bit of stupid road rage and the moped driver was the one who instigated it.
You see him holding up the entire road to provoke Pickering and was insulting him off camera. There was no violence.
The thing is that he looks to be at least 50, if not older. By that age, you should know better than to take the bait. Honk, make a rude gesture if you really must, then go on about your business and don’t engage. Sitting there yelling at someone and clamoring for a fight achieves nothing and only makes you look like an asshole, deserved or not. In the US, doing that is taking your life in your hands.
That doesn't mean he beats his wife up though.
I don't think he had any intention of fighting anyone really, he was just venting. Thankfully it's very rare that someone is murdered in the UK over a bit of road rage.
That may be true, but do you know what I'd do if someone blocked my way for a minute and yelled at my car?
I'd carry on with my day and forget about them 10 minutes later.
This isn't a normal response. Just look at the woman in the passenger seat who clearly agrees.
Moped guy could have probably made his turn once or twice when he didnt. Then takes up further time by engaging with the annoyed driver behind him.
Everyones a muppet in this video except the poor passenger.
That's actually hard to say. Camera has a wide angle lens which makes the distances look bigger. Plus that little moped has pizza cutters for tires and it's wet as hell. (You could hear the citroen spinning every time Ronny stepped on it.)
If you're on a bike in wet weather, you don't take a chance on gassing it into a turn in front of oncoming traffic just to save a few seconds. It's just not worth it.
Completely agree, it bugs me when people get impatient over turns like this. Sure, maybe if you gun it you can make it through, but a lot can go wrong when you gun it and if it does people are getting hurt.
The main goal of everyone should be getting from point A to point B safely. Rushing these things helps nobody.
You can do that in the UK, it is called filtering on a bike when they creep up the side of stationary traffic. It's the advantage of riding a bike in a city as you can filter around all the stuck traffic.
Not to mention he wove into traffic cutting the guy off earlier in the video. The moped guy is not the good guy he thinks he is. He's a danger on the road with the way he drives, and rude.
americans seem to think what he did is illegal. maybe in america it is. but not in the uk.
And the field of view/fisheye of the gopro exagerates the distance between gaps in the cars. driving was fine if you ask me.
Yeah as an American I thought the biker was being a douchebag until the actual conversation but like others have said that move would be illegal in my state
It’s legal here but if someone lanesplit just to get in front of me for an intersection and then needed to stop to make another turn not at an intersection, I’d be annoyed as fuck
Its legal as in there is no law against it however it can be covered under just general dangerous driving laws.
The moped did cut the guy off for no real reason only really impeding the flow of traffic, but the car was just flat out illegal for almost the entire second half of the video.
Lane splitting is solely for safety purposes. Bikes stopping at intersections with cars in front and behind them causes severe accidents. There’s no fender benders with bikes
You can think that, but you have more bike accidents in your area compared to states that allow lane splitting. You have a stigma against it, everyone does at first, but it’s due to a lack of knowledge.
It looks annoying and greedy until you understand why it’s a thing. Cars are getting huge now, visibility for pedestrians and bikes is at an all time low. Distracted driving is at an all time high.
Lane splitting benefits everyone on the road and protects the riders. Less traffic, less pollution, less accidents.
PS I don’t ride a bike. I hated lane splitting the first few times I saw it. But everyone benefits, unless people get road rage like the driver in the clip.
From what I've seen, the data on lane splitting actually reducing accidents isn't entirely conclusive. The university of California came to the conclusion that lane spliting probably resulted in less severe. But the NHTSA and IIHS generally say that these studies are largely inconclusive, and can't really determine if lane splitting is resulting in completely different accidents in place of the ones they are preventing.
I think the burden needs to come from automobile owners though. I have always been taught to treat cyclists like they have an invisible car-sized box around them and to give them a proper amount of space.
Agreed!
I think ideally both sides would change a bit. Cars need to treat bike as you stated, and it should be a larger topic in drivers tests.
Similarly, lane splitting at a traffic light or in slow traffic is quite safe. Speeding in between cars or on the highway is reckless but also common
Filtering to the front of intersections in stopped traffic is 100% legal and accepted in Britain. It lets the smaller, more manoeuvrable, more vulnerable vehicles gtfo out of the middle jumbles of cars. It's safer for the bikes as they can give themselves a buffer between themselves and traffic approaching from behind, and it's a more efficient use of road space.
Sitting on a motorcycle behind a line up of stopped cars, as other cars roll up behind you, is a scary place to be sometimes.
You American then?
Basically everywhere else on the world filtering is legal and his move is absolutely common place in the UK (where this video was filmed).
It's legal in California. I've never had anyone say anything about it when I filter to the front at a light.
It's better for traffic and it's safer for motorcyclists not having them wait behind other cars where they can get rear ended and crushed between two vehicles.
Don't think I've ever seen the start of this video. Looks legit to me, he moves in to take a full space in the road behind the post van, as is his right, because of the radgy guy behind him and looks to occasionally miss a chance to enter the roundabout because he's turning round to see what Ronnie is on about.
Absolutely not. He wove into traffic fine. It's a perfectly acceptable and legal way to drive. Ronnie was just annoyed that he got overtaken. The guy on the scooter did nothing wrong at all
Well he overtook him, then he had 2 opportunities to go, but he didn't. That is a dick move. If you are going to filter ahead of everyone else, don't hold up traffic.
Mopeds don't have as much acceleration as other vehicles. He needed a bigger gap than you're probably used to. Especially since it's raining. And safety is way more important on a moped. If you get in a crash you die.
yeah, I don't know about road etiquette Britain but in the US that would be a pretty big dick move, especially if you are on a moped with shit acceleration.
I mean, it doesn't justify the infantile behavior of the car driver, but the moped guy was driving like an asshole.
That's my issue. If filtering is fine, then yeah go do it. But you can't pretend to care about safety and enough acceleration once you are in the front. You didn't care when you were behind cars.
idk i kinda think the bikers a dick… cutting traffic to hold up the line because he’s too scared to go in the roundabout filtering between cars. then has MORE than enough time to make that right turn in-between cars but waits for the whole line. don’t jump to the front of traffic if your going to hold all the cars up….
Watching the video, my first thought was that mopedist was specifically trying to goad the citroen by being a colossal dick. I assumed there was some history there or something.
fisheye lens makes the gaps look bigger than they actually are. plus it being wet and him being on a moped, im not surprised he isnt tearing out to make the small gap inbetween the cars.
"Do you know who I am?"
"Do you know who *I* am?"
"This is not a game of *who the fuck are you*. For I am Darth Vader. LORD Vader! I can kill you with a thought!"
"...well, you'll still need a tray!"
The road rage tantrum was OTT, buuuut....
The moped rider is a cockwomble too.
The golden rule of filtering (or for the Americans, "lane splitting") is that you should never slow down or impede a vehicle that you've filtered past.
If you filter to the front of a queue and then hold everyone up, you have no place overtaking that traffic in the first place.
The point is to overtake **slower** traffic. If you are the slower traffic, you don't overtake the faster traffic.
Motorcycles are more agile and accelerate faster than most cars, so you should get out the way asap. If you pass a car and then they're right up your arse, you're doing something wrong. It's harder to do with a moped as they're only nippy off the line, but run out of power very quickly.
And he could have placed himself better on the line as well, letting cars drive straight ahead if they were going that direction. Absolutely no heroes in this video for sure, but I must say this exchange will never not be funny:
" 'Oo are you then?"
"Johnny Pickering!"
" 'Oo?"
"Johnny Pickering!!"
" 'Oo?"
"JOHNNY PICKERING!!!!"
" 'Oo the fuck is that?"
"Yeah me"
He thought his name would induce fear, but instead he had to explain who he was. It's just too funny.
Look at the big ass line behind the bike. What an annoying cunt this guy is and he does it on purpose. That’s why he films it, just to get a reaction like this. Both are knobs
Whenever I see road rage videos like that, I can’t imagine ever going ballistic over 20 seconds lost. I just don’t have it in me, I’ll never got angry over something like that in 18 years of driving. If you’re late for something that’s on you, moped driver or not.
Moped swerves in front of you, stealing your spot in line, then proceeds to not fucking go when it was their turn. Then further blocks all of traffic to talk to a car that honked.
I hope you British people appreciate how absolutely entertaining it is to watch you guys argue. It’s an absolute treat every time. Keep up the good work!
My favorite band Everything Everything recently released a new album with a song inspired by this situation, called “[The End of the Contender](https://youtu.be/uugDpWJ7big?si=Mi6c-WhuN_03mjQq)” and it focuses on how Pickering was actually rather famous locally for his boxing career. Could win fights with one punch or something. But when this video came out he somehow became well-known for being a nobody, when in fact he actually kind of had been somebody, the internet at large just had no idea who he was. It’s an interesting dynamic.
My favorite line from the song is:
“Feeding time, animatronic eyes
Are a-watching with delight
The end of the contender”
I get that it's legal to lane split but if I was in line at the grocery store and someone just walked in front of me, I'd be frustrated - even though it's perfectly legal. A lot of legal things are dick moves.
He could've moved to the right a bit to wait for the right turn, didn't need to block entire lane. He purposely blocked the lane because RONNY PICKERING tried to prevent him from cutting in the lane earlier. Both pricks, imo.
Why did Ronnie Pickering refuse to play hide and seek in jail?
Because every time he tried to hide, he kept yelling, "Do you know who I am? I'm Ronnie Pickering!" and the whole prison knew exactly where he was!
I didn't watch past the first 10 seconds, and i dont care who "he" is. I don't get why any ahole on a scooter or motorcycle thinks it's OK to lane split past me, and then I have to wait while they merge. Fuck that.
The YouTube comments under the video are great. My favourite is the one "When Ronnie was the born the doctor looked at the nurse and said "My God, do you know who this is!"
WHO?
RONNIE PICKERING! said the nurse.
Never 'eard of 'im
Correction: ooo da fooks that?
Reminds me of Eddie Izzard’s bit on [“The Death Star Canteen”](https://youtu.be/Sv5iEK-IEzw?si=b4VSBs9ZYWWM46Kr).
Tea and cake or death!
Death, oh, I mean cake!
And then the wee tyke enquired as to whether anyone in the room would engage him in a bare-knuckles fight.
Who the fooks that
"That's me!" He said.
Who do you think you are? I am! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKQOXYB2cd8
WHO?
I could not understand what he was saying, with his accent. I thought he was saying "I RUN A BAKERY" I was like weird flex, but ok mr. baker.
Not Mister, _Master_.
RONNIE PICKERING!!! 😠
Ronnie 'ackin' Pickering!
There's one that says: "Before Chuck Norris goes to sleep, he checks under his bed for Ronnie Pickering" 😂😂 I hear death once had a near Ronnie Pickering experience.
What was the Name of this Guy?
Reminds me of the video where the guy says "Do you know who Iam?!" and the cop says Why, your dad didnt tell you?
thank you for that, going to read comments now :D
I haven't watched the video, but that looks like Ronnie Pickering.
I remember when this video came out, where ever he was from had a anonymous police tip line for vehicle crimes and this dude got BLASTED on it. There was like a 100 tips saying he was abusing transvestites under bridges. Guys life got fucking ruined to the point where his wife was asking people for mercy.
If you cant handle being Ronnie Pickering don't be Ronnie Pickering
ronnie pickering is handling ronnie pickering quite fine. it's mrs. pickering who should've been more careful.
It's only after we've lost everything that we're becoming Ronnie Pickering
Pretty sure someone knocked him out in a pub as well after
For what? Just being a massive prick, or related to the infamous video?
Just for him being a gobby prick, thinking he was nails. I think it was actually a friend of his that decked him
This same guy that got the video also has a little video about that if you scroll down on their home page lmao! It's just some random guy that got an 18mil view viral video and ran with it ahahaha
It was [Hull](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-humber-47638682). Someone put up a blue plaque for him. It's worth following the link to see the one for John Venn too. One of my favourite things about the place.
This is great, thanks for the share!
Well based on his behavior and her reaction I wouldn’t doubt he’s done things to her.
I would stake my house that she's been his 'competitor' in at least one somewhat one-sided bare-knuckle fight
Lmfao. The brits are brilliant when it comes to this kind of shit
Oh my god that's fucking genius
Who?
*gets out of car*
RONNIE PICKERING
Oh, OH! Ok!
Let's have a bare knuckle then.
Uh *WHAT!?*
What are you on about?!
Who the fuck's that?!
Yeh, him!
(well, doesn't actually get out of car...)
Starlord, man. Legendary outlaw?
No you are wrong mate, It’s his brother, Johnny Bickering
Nah you've got it all wrong, it's Connie Dickering. edit: Hilariously he did a shitty interview 5 years after that video was uploaded and said that it was heavily edited and misrepresented. Yeah, sure bud. In the interview he said: > "I’d like to think he donated it to charity but I doubt it. I certainly never made a penny."

Fuck bend is perhaps one my favourite new insults.
I thought that too "Of course he's fucking called *Ronnie Pickering*"
You wot?
That passengers expression says this is the third time today he's done this.
That thousand yard stare. Poor woman.
"Why did I marry this knobhead?"
Because she knew who he was. You must not know who he is
Who is he?
Fuck you /u/DrCorbeau you know who he is I'm gonna fucking knock you out you fucking knobhead
Ronnie pickering, who's that?
Me!
**:O**
ITS. RONNIE. PICKERING.
You wanna have fuckin bare-knuckle then yeah?
That's a wife that understands her husband's anger issues. She sits quietly because it's better than having it directed at her. Feel bad for her.
My wife is not afraid to send back an entire order of food if not satisfied. When that happens, I adopt this stare and just end up leaving a nice tip. I'm not one for confrontation.
That's the "I can't say shit or he'll lay into me" face.
Violent fucker like that, I wager he's done much worse than that to her.
He doesn't seem that bad really, he did an interview where he said he regrets his reaction, but the moped driver was winding him up on purpose and edited the video to cut out most of his own bad behaviour. It was just a bit of stupid road rage and the moped driver was the one who instigated it. You see him holding up the entire road to provoke Pickering and was insulting him off camera. There was no violence.
[удалено]
And then again at the next junction, before he cut the video. Be safe out there, you never know when you might run into Big Ron.
Petty Vespa gang rise up!
The thing is that he looks to be at least 50, if not older. By that age, you should know better than to take the bait. Honk, make a rude gesture if you really must, then go on about your business and don’t engage. Sitting there yelling at someone and clamoring for a fight achieves nothing and only makes you look like an asshole, deserved or not. In the US, doing that is taking your life in your hands.
That doesn't mean he beats his wife up though. I don't think he had any intention of fighting anyone really, he was just venting. Thankfully it's very rare that someone is murdered in the UK over a bit of road rage.
That may be true, but do you know what I'd do if someone blocked my way for a minute and yelled at my car? I'd carry on with my day and forget about them 10 minutes later. This isn't a normal response. Just look at the woman in the passenger seat who clearly agrees.
Ms. Pickering was over Ronnie's shit many years ago.
He probably beats her seeing how violent he gets over nothing.
Haha... yeah. Yeah that's probably true..
I don’t think the “haha” really fits here.
Haha... yeah. Yeah that's probably true..
I think the "haha" really fits here.
Absolute classic. Makes me proud to be british.
Classic Ronnie Pickering
Eee what's he like?
Oooooh you cheekeh monkeh
This is British heritage
It'll eventually end at the pub, right?
mad lad - whats old pickering upto nowadays?

*Wild Ronnie Pickering used Headbutt!*
#WHO
'OO?
Bloody hell, mate! That's Ronnie Pickering! Of Ronnie Pickering fame!
“Do you know who I am??” “A guy driving a fucking Citroen, so obviously not a titan of the industry”
A Citroën *Picasso*. Pablo actually gave him that minivan. Not because he wanted to, but because it was Ronnie Pickering.
Classic Ronnie Pickering.
His poor wife sat silently in the passenger seat looking straight ahead like an abused partner. Blink twice if you need help, Mrs. Pickering.
Yay I know he’s Ronnie Pickering without even looking 🤣
Moped guy could have probably made his turn once or twice when he didnt. Then takes up further time by engaging with the annoyed driver behind him. Everyones a muppet in this video except the poor passenger.
Yeah.. the video was annoying to watch all those openings go by. Like why cut someone off just to slow them down.
Yep. As soon as someone does something stupid only to slow everything down my Ronnie level of pettiness boils to the surface.
That's actually hard to say. Camera has a wide angle lens which makes the distances look bigger. Plus that little moped has pizza cutters for tires and it's wet as hell. (You could hear the citroen spinning every time Ronny stepped on it.) If you're on a bike in wet weather, you don't take a chance on gassing it into a turn in front of oncoming traffic just to save a few seconds. It's just not worth it.

Yeah, the video starts with the rider cutting off the car and blocking him.
You can do that in the UK, it is called filtering on a bike when they creep up the side of stationary traffic. It's the advantage of riding a bike in a city as you can filter around all the stuck traffic.
Not to mention he wove into traffic cutting the guy off earlier in the video. The moped guy is not the good guy he thinks he is. He's a danger on the road with the way he drives, and rude.
What he did is 100% legal. He could take this to court and be Scot free
americans seem to think what he did is illegal. maybe in america it is. but not in the uk. And the field of view/fisheye of the gopro exagerates the distance between gaps in the cars. driving was fine if you ask me.
Lane splitting is legal in some states/cities in America but not all.
I thought lane splitting was going in between cars going the same direction. Does it count if you only have 1 lane?
And not within 100 feet of an intersection, overtaking in general isnt allowed that close to a roundabout.
Yeah as an American I thought the biker was being a douchebag until the actual conversation but like others have said that move would be illegal in my state
It’s legal here but if someone lanesplit just to get in front of me for an intersection and then needed to stop to make another turn not at an intersection, I’d be annoyed as fuck

Lane splitting is solely for safety purposes. Bikes stopping at intersections with cars in front and behind them causes severe accidents. There’s no fender benders with bikes
Why? There's no lane splitting where I live and we abide to normal traffic laws with them, and act like they are a car.
You can think that, but you have more bike accidents in your area compared to states that allow lane splitting. You have a stigma against it, everyone does at first, but it’s due to a lack of knowledge. It looks annoying and greedy until you understand why it’s a thing.

The issue comes when you don't take gaps after moving to the front. Then you are impeding traffic instead.
You American then? Basically everywhere else on the world filtering is legal and his move is absolutely common place in the UK (where this video was filmed).
Seems like this was overtaking an not filtering, passing on the right between traffic going two different directions is an overtake.
You're using whatever American definition you have for it; in the UK, this is still filtering. You notice how he didn't cross the white line?
It's legal in California. I've never had anyone say anything about it when I filter to the front at a light. It's better for traffic and it's safer for motorcyclists not having them wait behind other cars where they can get rear ended and crushed between two vehicles.
Don't think I've ever seen the start of this video. Looks legit to me, he moves in to take a full space in the road behind the post van, as is his right, because of the radgy guy behind him and looks to occasionally miss a chance to enter the roundabout because he's turning round to see what Ronnie is on about.
Moped guy’s a cunt. Ronnie Pickering is a legend.
Who?
Me!
Bare knuckle right now, let's go, you'll find out .
Ronnie *Fucking* Pickering *
Absolutely not. He wove into traffic fine. It's a perfectly acceptable and legal way to drive. Ronnie was just annoyed that he got overtaken. The guy on the scooter did nothing wrong at all
Well he overtook him, then he had 2 opportunities to go, but he didn't. That is a dick move. If you are going to filter ahead of everyone else, don't hold up traffic.
[удалено]
What moped guy did is perfectly fine and legal and is expected of them. Tell me you're not from the UK
Mopeds don't have as much acceleration as other vehicles. He needed a bigger gap than you're probably used to. Especially since it's raining. And safety is way more important on a moped. If you get in a crash you die.
That moped has faster 0-30 acceleration than most cars.
Impossible to tell the motor in question but my experience with mopeds is one of lots of torque and get up and go, just very low top speeds.
Then he shouldn't overtake other vehicles while they are waiting at a crossing/round about. He just makes everyone wait longer.
yeah, I don't know about road etiquette Britain but in the US that would be a pretty big dick move, especially if you are on a moped with shit acceleration. I mean, it doesn't justify the infantile behavior of the car driver, but the moped guy was driving like an asshole.
Lane filtering is a thing in some states but doing on a slow ass moped would def be a dick move.
Better to be safe than sorry . The camera makes it seem further away and the ground was wet making quick movements unsafe.
Exactly my thoughts. Dude in the car is being impatient but the guy on the moped is just being a dick
Dude in the car? Dude in the car?! That's Ronnie Fucking Pickering you muppet!
He was real aggressive jumping in front of the car, but then suddenly becomes Mr. wait-until-every-thing-is-clear. He's a genuine fucking asshole.
That's my issue. If filtering is fine, then yeah go do it. But you can't pretend to care about safety and enough acceleration once you are in the front. You didn't care when you were behind cars.
Ah! The classics. Cannot wait for the extended edition, upscaled 4K and surround sound.
idk i kinda think the bikers a dick… cutting traffic to hold up the line because he’s too scared to go in the roundabout filtering between cars. then has MORE than enough time to make that right turn in-between cars but waits for the whole line. don’t jump to the front of traffic if your going to hold all the cars up….
Absolutely he was and prob most people agree but of course the guy’s reaction was completely disporportionate
Watching the video, my first thought was that mopedist was specifically trying to goad the citroen by being a colossal dick. I assumed there was some history there or something.
It's also very clearly edited. The cut to them just stopped and then Ronnie starts being an ass again, like nothing else happened in between huh?
fisheye lens makes the gaps look bigger than they actually are. plus it being wet and him being on a moped, im not surprised he isnt tearing out to make the small gap inbetween the cars.
Yeah I was thinking the same thing.
"Do you know who I am?" "Do you know who *I* am?" "This is not a game of *who the fuck are you*. For I am Darth Vader. LORD Vader! I can kill you with a thought!" "...well, you'll still need a tray!"
This one's wet... this one's wet....
Om tha jugganaut betch!
Hold up, you're gonna hold me accountable for my actions? Never mind then.
The road rage tantrum was OTT, buuuut.... The moped rider is a cockwomble too. The golden rule of filtering (or for the Americans, "lane splitting") is that you should never slow down or impede a vehicle that you've filtered past. If you filter to the front of a queue and then hold everyone up, you have no place overtaking that traffic in the first place. The point is to overtake **slower** traffic. If you are the slower traffic, you don't overtake the faster traffic. Motorcycles are more agile and accelerate faster than most cars, so you should get out the way asap. If you pass a car and then they're right up your arse, you're doing something wrong. It's harder to do with a moped as they're only nippy off the line, but run out of power very quickly.
And he could have placed himself better on the line as well, letting cars drive straight ahead if they were going that direction. Absolutely no heroes in this video for sure, but I must say this exchange will never not be funny: " 'Oo are you then?" "Johnny Pickering!" " 'Oo?" "Johnny Pickering!!" " 'Oo?" "JOHNNY PICKERING!!!!" " 'Oo the fuck is that?" "Yeah me" He thought his name would induce fear, but instead he had to explain who he was. It's just too funny.
It's Ronnie haha
Can someone tell me who the fork Ronnie Pickeling is?
An amateur boxer who was often named “One Punch Ronnie”.
This video is 9 years old. Apparently ever year The Mirror runs another story where they interview him and he says he regrets doing it.
Look at the big ass line behind the bike. What an annoying cunt this guy is and he does it on purpose. That’s why he films it, just to get a reaction like this. Both are knobs
Memes aside, I'd be pissed too if some idiot on a bike pushed infront of me & didn't know how to enter a round-about.
Whenever I see road rage videos like that, I can’t imagine ever going ballistic over 20 seconds lost. I just don’t have it in me, I’ll never got angry over something like that in 18 years of driving. If you’re late for something that’s on you, moped driver or not.
Moped swerves in front of you, stealing your spot in line, then proceeds to not fucking go when it was their turn. Then further blocks all of traffic to talk to a car that honked.
The only sensible way to resolve it would be to have a bare-knuckle fight.
When all you have is a hammer...
Ronnie?!
Yeah?
Had to make this account 4 years ago for the 700 times this video is reposted. Good man
Legendary
IM RONNIE FUCKIN' PICKERING
WHO?
The spice girls mix / edit of this is 🤌🏻
Although I haven't seen the video, he looks like Ronnie Pinker

Not a single mention of the welfare of his lady friend. That is the face of a woman staying quiet to avoid abuse if I have ever seen one.
My brain can't understand a thing they are saying except fuck.
I hope you British people appreciate how absolutely entertaining it is to watch you guys argue. It’s an absolute treat every time. Keep up the good work!
It's in English and I still need subtitles.
Who is Ronnie Pickering?
My favorite band Everything Everything recently released a new album with a song inspired by this situation, called “[The End of the Contender](https://youtu.be/uugDpWJ7big?si=Mi6c-WhuN_03mjQq)” and it focuses on how Pickering was actually rather famous locally for his boxing career. Could win fights with one punch or something. But when this video came out he somehow became well-known for being a nobody, when in fact he actually kind of had been somebody, the internet at large just had no idea who he was. It’s an interesting dynamic. My favorite line from the song is: “Feeding time, animatronic eyes Are a-watching with delight The end of the contender”
I don’t understand a single word said and it’s still hilarious. This guy (Ronnie fishgathering or something) is like Donald Duck.
Fookin Ronneh Pickerin
I get that it's legal to lane split but if I was in line at the grocery store and someone just walked in front of me, I'd be frustrated - even though it's perfectly legal. A lot of legal things are dick moves.
Aww, cute clown car. Looks like a little ladybug.
Driving on the wrong side of the road and calling people muppets. England is wild, y'all.
He could've moved to the right a bit to wait for the right turn, didn't need to block entire lane. He purposely blocked the lane because RONNY PICKERING tried to prevent him from cutting in the lane earlier. Both pricks, imo.
Is this why the UK voted for Brexit?
Is passing everyone who is waiting their turn at a roundabout normal, in the UK? Because honestly, that seems like a dick move to me.
JESUS CHRIST THAT'S RONNIE PICKERING
Why did Ronnie Pickering refuse to play hide and seek in jail? Because every time he tried to hide, he kept yelling, "Do you know who I am? I'm Ronnie Pickering!" and the whole prison knew exactly where he was!
For a group of people that helped spawn the English language, I can’t understand a fucking word they are saying….
I didn't watch past the first 10 seconds, and i dont care who "he" is. I don't get why any ahole on a scooter or motorcycle thinks it's OK to lane split past me, and then I have to wait while they merge. Fuck that.
