I can totally see him slapping Cato, his man servant. Unless, of course the character is edited out due to modern audiences. Which is not as improbable as it sounds.
Who else to call out the atrocities of car culture than the underdogs who are most affected by it?
I have been both riding bicycles and driving huge trucks, not at the same time. And when driving was far less likely to be critical; I would think “this is bad”, and left it there. Five minutes later forgotten.
