Paula Peters from DPAC message to Prime Minister outside Number 10 on plans to modernise the trains.
Cyclist riding too fast. Pedestrian not looking where she's going. What else do you expect.
Surely cyclists should stop at the crossing… Give way to pedestrians as the Highway Code now says? Where are the police? Dancing on TikTok I expect…
What idiot designed this cycle path, poor kid
010, look at that! Someones riding an invisible bike that can go backwards... Oh wait, he's on a pair of roller skates which I don't recall the Highway code EVER SAYING YOU CAN USE THEM ON THE ROAD!
The cyclist are a bloody nightmare, especially UBER and Deliveroo ones
Cyclists love to pick and choose the rules as convenient
Amazing amount of cars do it too. The SELFISH society. 😠😡
I cycled in London for 2 years during my time at University. Appalled at how other cyclists behaved. Worst offence was when one blasted through a red light, almost hitting a women pushing a pram. He had the nerve to yell at her for this! Something needs to be done.
Lady at 0.24 waves to the one guy with any manners who stops at the zebra , only to be nearly taken out by three others that just go round him. Ignorance like that is just dangerous.
"Face plant" easy.
You think that’s bad? Try walking through the Greenwich or Woolwich foot tunnels under the Thames sometime. Despite the fact that they are tunnels, and were built for people to walk through, cyclists and scooter riders ride through them at speed. There’s nowhere to go if you find someone bearing down on you, and they get so self righteous if you dare to tell them to get off their bike or scooter. Greenwich Council do nothing about it, and they don’t care if someone is hurt or killed by these selfish morons.
What is a floating bus stop ? And why do all cyclists feel the need to ride about at stupid speeds
The problem with bike lanes is the bikers! The most self righteous group there ever was.
It’s all about their agenda, why would you expect anything else from councils or the government? Makes me laugh when people defend these types of things when it plain as day that the councils and governments could care less
Why don’t they stop here in South Africa they go through red robots don’t stop at stop sign it’s crazy
Did the cycling fool even look back? Guys, you have to mount a permanent camera there and improve signage. 😮
Firming idiotic cyclists AGAIN.
So it seems pedestrians give to cyclists
Sadly the fault is in the community the issue of the cyclist , is that the time has come for all road users to have insurance , and a form of identification like a yellow vest with a number on the back , laws to be set , time and time again the cyclist , calls wolf and blames everyone else , but we the road user have to look out for and experience the bad behaviour of the cyclist , time for change ,
Zebra crossing there and yet those clowns fly by at high speed. This cycle lane bull s*** is now making it very dangerous for pedestrians
0:32 look at the size of that bugger! that could easily flatten a pedestrian.
The majority of cyclists are absolute bellends
The person who got knocked over wasn't actually on the crossing, but still, no need for cyclists to travel at such a speed with pedestrians nearby.
Speeders...jail
There are more knobs in London per square mile than anywhere else. That's why I am glad I moved out. Come on Police do something!
pedestrians used to have priority on a zebra crossing and traffic had to give way to them - in the 1980s when everyone knew the rule, but now the country is full of third worlders who dont know the rule.
They really need better signage, it's a cross walk so the pedestrian has right of way and is that broken white line a give way indicator?😮
Floating bus stops are a silly idea conceived in the rush to pander to cyclists.
Another one of SADIQ KHANS brilliant ideas They want to save the planet but don’t want to slow down
They want to save the planet but don’t want to slow down idiots
Another one of SADIQ KHANS brilliant ideas
MOST ARE A LAW UNTO THEMSELVES, THEY SCREAM AND YELL GET OUT OF THE F ING WAY.
God forbid that a cyclist should ever have to slow down and yield to pedestrians, or otherwise obey stop signs, traffic lights or such. How dare anyone question their inherent right of way in every situation. They are the chosen ones. Dosent everyone know that?
20 years jail now.
Everyone of those cyclists was riding too fast, your speed should be such that you can stop when the unexpected happens. The pedestrian should have looked and not wandered all over the place, but the cycles should be much slower.
Cyclists don’t like to have to slow down or stop. It’s always a race for them.
As of late 2024 these ridiculous set ups show that most cyclists do not slow down and certainly do not respect the zebra crossing rules. A child has already been hit by an E bike and was lucky to escape serious injury.
Police need to hand out tickets with fines in that location for a month so that everyone knows to smarten up.
Just shows if enough people ignore the law the law becomes meaningless.
They cry when they get clipped but destroy the safety for pedestrians like this….. They need to be fined or have their bikes confiscated.
To be fair some of those pedestrians should look where they're going!
Fool there’s a zebra crossing
I cycle at least 100 miles a week round London,and it boils my piss when I see twats of all ages on bikes doing this.
Cyclists are well known to be people of very little brain so how else do you expect them to behaved?
r's wipes
Cyclists are just a f--in danger to the public.
Thought I certainly disagree with the bike riders not giving way, at the same time many pedestrians were not looking before crossing, or giving any indication they wanted to cross, simply barging across, or were crossing diagonally on the crosswalk walking for 5 seconds on the bike lane and not in the crosswalk… everyone needs to play a part in road safety, and here basically no one was doing so
Do you not slow and take caution when approaching a Zebra crossing ? maybe if the cyclists started observing the zebra crossing and stopping for pedestrians the situation would change ,not a single cyclist in this video shows any awareness of the highway code on this.
@ i do slow down and give way to pedestrians when I ride my bicycle, more often than drivers actually… but I also have no respect for pedestrians who do not care to look for cyclists before crossing, or hog the bike lane, like many in this video
These stupid bike lanes are dangerous to say the least, Don't these grown up kids on their toys have any respect for the road traffic laws that apply to them at all, simple answer NO red lights, pelican crossings, give ways, mean absolutely F all to them ,and if you're a motorist in any vehicle don't stop in their little smug box at traffic lights especially if it's got a camera on it, they just love laying down the law ,I drive a bus and they expect me to stop on a sixpence which I could but for passengers safety and comfort I can't and then you get a lecture off mr bike complaining that I'm in their SPECIAL PLACE . and I quote that to them as they're trying not to put their feet on the ground at traffic lights wobbling around like maniacs in their special place that if they can be bothered to stop at traffic lights, simple solution have some sort of registration put on the bike and make sure they obey the traffic laws like motorists have to, fine them, ban them impound them ,simple solution.
they need a much bigger speed hump just before each crossing and flashing red lights
It works in other countries...brits are just VERY resistant to change....
They are absolute a*holes, they charge at people at speed trying to cause problems to catch on their cameras and moan about.
