Fair enough.
As banning on this forum isn’t transparent like it was on EF, I had to hazard a guess.
Anyway, it was either his choice of words, pictures or links which got him banned and not him admitting to driving illegally, threatening and being aggressive to other road users.
To be fair, it’s a forum where “he” can be whatever he likes. He could also be a delicate housewife in rural Switzerland who never learned to drive and is bored waiting for her hubby to come home from work. You never know.
To be fair, with the number of motorists who do drive like that, it’s pretty safe to say that-
If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck
But yes, I suppose I could really drive a black BMW M3, think I am God’s gift to driving and who hates cyclists but that’s highly unlikely, don’t you think?
Having said that, one of my extended family drove a BMW (white not black), always exceeded the speed limit, admitted that she did, and had the Police take her car away by force.
But that was my grandmother.
It’s also not a reason to ban you from a forum (or a pub, or a tennis club or revoke your Netflix subscription), either. Which roughly relates to your earlier point.
That’s exactly what people burning witches did. They were absolutely sure of their judgement 
Not really because I never wrote that I willingly drive illegally, threatening and being aggressive to other road users.
I’m sure there is a context where that might be problematic - on a examination for driving instructors for example, or if he said that and then offered to teach cycling proficiency at the local school.
Breaking the rules of the road is a subject for a Police investigation.
Trying to avoid the consequences of that Police investigation is, apparently, a worthy topic for this forum.
I’m absolutely sure there are any number of contexts which you can bend to fit the narrative but the point is that isn’t the case here.
No you’re right.
I must admit, when a BMW driver close passes me on purpose or drives aggressively near me - I take a note of their licence number, look up their home address and go round there and scratch a big knob on their door panel with a knife.
They don’t deserve any less.
I have to admit I liked it better on English Forum where is was clear who had banned who and why.
As to your other point, it’s not our job to police what people do outside the forum. If they do something which breaks the forum rules and we are made aware of it then we will look into it, anything they do outside the forum is nothing to do with us even if they do write about it on here.
Hypothetically, what if they admitted to a murder or something like that?
What if, when admitting it, they gave details that only they could know if they had?
Would any action be taken?
As it’s only mods (and the admin) who can ban users, it wouldn’t be unfeasible for a mod to reply to the pertinent thread stating why the ban (or post deletion) had taken place, pour
encourager les autres.
Sounds like someone needs to bone up on the T&Cs.
I would imagine that we would do everything within a power to alert the relevant authorities should something like that happen.
I guess we need to start with the tax threads. Really hard to determine if evasion, avoidance or minimization. Then, threads about the 90 days stay limit without permit.
All four mods are middle-aged women with rather ‘liberal’ politics; it’s pretty obvious who they will ban and why.
Oi! I haven’t finished being a millennial yet. 
I also voted for a Tory candidate once, too.
Could you point me to the relevant bit as you seem to know?
Are they? That’s news to me.
Indeed.
But also think a little before accusing randos on the internet. Read Art. 304 of Swiss Criminal Code:
Also arts 173 about defamation. Unless someone talks about an ongoing criminal procedure, all accusations of events happening (or happened in the past) in the real world because “words on a forum” fit quite nicely the definition of defamation.
