Fortunately because I’m not a right wing bigot and I ride bicycles which keeps me fit and healthy I don’t have the reddish or florid complexion associated with the term gammon.

@@bikery1966 exactly what a middle aged, white male bike gammon would say.

@@bikery1966 its cute that you think you aren't a gammon

I rode in the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s people rarely if ever close passed.

He was less than 1.5m from me.

The driver paid for a £100 Educational Course so hopefully they won't end someones time on this world.

Why?

@@jamesharlow4752 Because cyclists are impeding the public transport. Cyclists should all have insurance, the same as any other road users.

@@JAmediaUK build dedicated cycling infrastructure then. It'll reduce traffic, which is impeding the transport more

@@jamesharlow4752 Good Idea... Cyclists pay Road Tax the same as cars, and we can start... Otherwise, I am NOT funding it out of my taxes. I will fund rail, metro and bus systems but if cyclists want their own roads they pay for them.

@@JAmediaUK do kids have to pay tax too? Because a lot of cyclists are kids

What bike lane?

Use it on what?

I know, it was a ridiculous place to try overtaking.

More important than driving into someone?

Police disagree with you and took further action against the driver.

Yes and possibly damaged suspension and bodywork.

The result is on the OpSnap site spreadsheet.

@@bikery1966 incorrect as it shows no optare.

safely passing a cyclist and then turning, wow. oh wait the cyclist spent longer editing and up loading a video of themselves being safely passed.

Yet if the van was in slow moving traffic the cyclist wouldn't even think twice about cycling up the inside in a gap that wide!!!! Maybe time to number plate cycles and report them for passing traffic to close, riding through red lights, not stopping at junctions, not having lights on in the dark, weaving around with out a glance as to what is behind them, I am sure you won't mind having insurance either!!! I ride a motor bike and a push bike too so I doo see what occurs on the roads, just man up and be more vigilant while cycling and stop trying to be a hero filming your wobbly rides, sooner or later it will get you nicked or punched out!!!

"Just man up, dude!" Perhaps you could mention that to the families of all those Killed or Seriously Injured each year on our roads. "Hey dude, they should have just manned up!" "Bikers you have heard the man! Brace yourselves for the impact!"

@@andrewatherton316 First up bud they are not bikers but cyclists, who want four miles distance when you pass them but like mentioned are happy to squeeze through a 2foot gap when it suits them, or cycle through a red light rather than stop. And before your dummy lodges in the back of your throat, I am a biker, who has ridden year round for over 46yrs. Yes I have had cars pull out in front or try to close a gap but like the bulk of real bikers we deal with it and don't post video clips winging about it.. Had an off last year due to 3 cyclists who turned across my path at a red light reason given they were trying to catch up another group!!!! Knobs on both sides just some have no balls to go with it...

😊 that’s the camera rattling.

I'd rather be hit by a bike than a knobhead in a van. But thanks for your contribution.

Move to North Korea they’re the only country to go with your ridiculous idea.

@@bikery1966 what's ridiculous about wanker cyclists?

Rule 163 Highway Code leave at least 1.5 metres when overtaking cyclists at speeds of up to 30mph, and give them more space when overtaking at higher speeds. This is driving without consideration for other road users.

​@@bikery1966So, what problem did the van cause, other than making you jump because you weren't paying attention?

@@thisisnumber0 Don't ride much do you? Bikes have to avoid all sorts of things that motorists won't even notice, much less bother to avoid. By passing so close there is no room for a cyclist to take avoiding action for any kind of hazard. Secondly, with wind noise in your ears, combined with traffic noise, it's not always possible to tell when a vehicle is about to pass you as it's nearly impossible to tell just how far behind you a vehicle is. Thirdly, the van has the entirety of the road to utilise but instead just can't be bothered to turn the steering wheel just a couple of degrees to give the bike the maximum amount of room.

Rule 163 Highway Code leave at least 1.5 metres when overtaking cyclists at speeds of up to 30mph, and give them more space when overtaking at higher speeds. This is driving without consideration for other road users.

@@bikery1966 no requirement to leave 1.5m to pass a cyclist. the highway code also applies to cyclists.

The 1.5m rule is used to prosecute drivers for driving without consideration for other road users, regardless of what you think this driver paid for a Safe and Considerate Driver Course.

@@bikery1966 incorrect, but do try to read the highway code again.

The driver will know whats correct now they've attended a Safe and Considerate Drivers Course.

The police disagree with you, because you’re wrong and the driver paid £100 to be reeducated.

@@bikery1966 Cool story Bro....🤣🤣🤣

When you were younger there wasn’t 33M cars on the road and people drove with more consideration for other road users. I don’t remember being close passed in the 70’s, it only happened rarely in the 80’s, 90’s and noughties. By around 2011 it started happening on every ride.

@@bikery1966 most people understand how to cycle on the roads.

Rule 163 Highway Code leave at least 1.5 metres when overtaking cyclists at speeds of up to 30mph, and give them more space when overtaking at higher speeds. This is driving without consideration for other road users.

@@bikery1966 no requirement to pass at 1.5m. the highway code applies to cyclists as well, you should read it.

It certainly is!

Getting run over really fucks you up

@@00vaag You can also just knock on the window, not bang a dent in a car. Also, I don't own a car, nor do I drive, unbiased opinion, but people can't be neutral nowadays, they always need to pick a side. Just like you, clearly.

@@neyaneya5554 I feel as though knocking on a window is more threatening to the driver than a tap on the fender. I highly doubt you will hit the car hard enough to dent it.

@@neyaneya5554 Almost getting hit and injured does something strange to a person... like pumps them full of adrenaline, which makes you do things more strongly and abandoned slow, logical thinking.

What cycle lane?

It's not worthy of the name cycle lane. It's a cycle gutter.

most are like this or even worse, unless you are some banker living in Switzerland or a trust fund brat in Portland

There’s a passing place up the road.

Looks like you heard him coming and moved out to make things difficult.

The police didn’t see any issue with my riding.

@@bikery1966 think you know what you did, and exactly what to say.

I don't suppose you aware that stopping and starting again when climbing uphill is more difficult for the cyclist because they lose momentum. The time the van had to wait would be no more than the time spent at a traffic light and way less than in a queue at a busy intersection.

Boy oh boy I think you just proved you’re a first grade village idiot. Here’s a thought go learn the road rule and obey them or hand in your license

waaaaaaaah waaaaaah waaaaah

@Donkavision-sx4js still missing out on reading and understanding the highway code so making yourself look silly again. really should try to comment on the reality of a vidoe.

@@seansean9675 not you again, still not got a bike? HWC, only overtake when it is safe, do not overtake if it will cause other traffic to slow or take avoiding action. Cyclist had to slow, other cars had to slow. You need new specs.

@@007floppyboy you should read more of the highway code. Rule 168 Being overtaken. If a driver is trying to overtake you, maintain a steady course and speed, slowing down if necessary to let the vehicle pass. Never obstruct drivers who wish to pass. Speeding up or driving unpredictably while someone is overtaking you is dangerous. Drop back to maintain a two-second gap if someone overtakes and pulls into the gap in front of you. Rule 169 Do not hold up a long queue of traffic, especially if you are driving a large or slow-moving vehicle. Check your mirrors frequently, and if necessary, pull in where it is safe and let traffic pass.

@@seansean9675 before you over take, takes precedence over being overtaken, its up to the car doing the overtaking. Wow, your idiocy shines through your stupidity.

simply not acceptable cycling, failing to allow the car to pass tailgating the car.

I’m under no obligation to leap out the way to let a driver past.

@@seansean9675 There is no general rule which obliges cyclists or drivers to pull over for a faster one behind (there was no long queue of traffic assumedly)

@@bikery1966 you are delusional there. highway code rule 66 be considerate of the needs of other road users when riding in groups. You can ride two abreast and it can be safer to do so, particularly in larger groups or when accompanying children or less experienced riders. Be aware of drivers behind you and allow them to overtake (for example, by moving into single file or stopping) when you feel it is safe to let them do so highway code rule 72 on quiet roads or streets - if a faster vehicle comes up behind you, move to the left to enable them to overtake, if you can do so safely Rule 168 Being overtaken. If a driver is trying to overtake you, maintain a steady course and speed, slowing down if necessary to let the vehicle pass. Never obstruct drivers who wish to pass. Speeding up or driving unpredictably while someone is overtaking you is dangerous. Drop back to maintain a two-second gap if someone overtakes and pulls into the gap in front of you. Rule 169 Do not hold up a long queue of traffic, especially if you are driving a large or slow-moving vehicle. Check your mirrors frequently, and if necessary, pull in where it is safe and let traffic pass.

@@QiuEnnan you mis quoted the highway code i see, knowing full well that the rules do exist you just tried and failed to ignore them. Rule 168 Being overtaken. If a driver is trying to overtake you, maintain a steady course and speed, slowing down if necessary to let the vehicle pass. Never obstruct drivers who wish to pass. Speeding up or driving unpredictably while someone is overtaking you is dangerous. Drop back to maintain a two-second gap if someone overtakes and pulls into the gap in front of you. Rule 169 Do not hold up a long queue of traffic, especially if you are driving a large or slow-moving vehicle. Check your mirrors frequently, and if necessary, pull in where it is safe and let traffic pass. also Rule 72 Road positioning. When riding on the roads, there are two basic road positions you should adopt, depending on the situation. 1) Ride in the centre of your lane, to make yourself as clearly visible as possible, in the following situations on quiet roads or streets - if a faster vehicle comes up behind you, move to the left to enable them to overtake, if you can do so safely in slower-moving traffic - when the traffic around you starts to flow more freely, move over to the left if you can do so safely so that faster vehicles behind you can overtake at the approach to junctions or road narrowings where it would be unsafe for drivers to overtake you 2) When riding on busy roads, with vehicles moving faster than you, allow them to overtake where it is safe to do so whilst keeping at least 0.5 metres away, and further where it is safer, from the kerb edge. Remember that traffic on most dual carriageways moves quickly. Take extra care crossing slip roads. try to read the highway code again to understand your own and the cyclists errors.
