[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Sumi] A video showing a bicycle suddenly darting out in front of a vehicle on the road, nearly causing a serious accident, has been released, drawing criticism from netizens.

On the 10th, an online community, Bobae Dream, posted a message titled "Is this brat your parent?" The term "jarani" is a portmanteau of "jajeongeo" (bicycle) and "gorani" (water deer), referring to some cyclists who suddenly appear like a gorani, causing fear for drivers.

The author, Mr. A, attached a black box video of the incident and apologized in advance to viewers, asking them to "please lower the volume."

According to the video, a bicycle that was not in sight suddenly appeared from the right side of the road where Mr. A’s vehicle was driving. Another rider followed shortly after.

Startled, Mr. A immediately stepped on the brakes to stop the vehicle, and fortunately, no accident occurred.

However, unlike the startled Mr. A, the rider glanced back as if nothing had happened and continued riding without any apology.

Angered, Mr. A chased after the rider and cursed, and the rider responded with curses as well.

Mr. A said, "My wife was also in the car, and I unintentionally shouted," adding, "I admit that my reaction afterward (cursing) was excessive."

Nevertheless, he criticized the rider in the video, saying, "If the rider had followed traffic laws properly, this situation would not have happened," and added, "Jarani, I just realized that I have AEBS (Automatic Emergency Braking System) on my feet, which my car doesn’t even have."

Netizens who saw this responded with comments such as "I can’t help but curse," "Jarani should also have a license plate system," "The cursing is justified," and "Fortunately, the driver was driving slowly, so no accident occurred."
