Given the choice between waiting until it was safe to pass or just dangerously blasting past, he chose the latter.

This seems to happen all the time on the approach to this set of lights. Drivers are so impatient, they do not want to get held up by a few seconds or risk being stopped by a red light. The very nerve! Something something road tax!

    We have a lot to learn. Just look on UA-cam at “Dutch Cycling “ and you can see that we only have to follow what they have done in the past 40 years. There is no problem here that they haven’t already cured so just copy them, let’s not get British and arrogant.

    Perefect example of how tricky road positioning can be for cyclists. Moving to the right is meant to signal to drivers they can't overtake. But some will overtake if they have just about enough space to squeeze past. And the scary thing from my experience is that some drivers will close pass cyclists as a punishment for them taking a central position

  • @kindnessark8064

    • @kindnessark8064
      @kindnessark8064 6 років тому

      Not surprised! I've still not heard back from a report to them of a red light jumper in September. A blue tinted VW low ride racer, smashed his wheels into the curb to squeeze inside stopped traffic to jump a red light for a cycle crossing I was on. The driver made eye contact with me, failed to stop/correct his error, and sped up even faster. I got his number plate however and he went into Selly Oak near the shopping area where plenty of CCTV should be to help with evidence! But not heard a peep from police since the report. They also have my USB stick still. I may email them to request what might be happening but my document is at with the reference number.

    It'd be a shame if you happened to step sideways just as they were passing and accidentally shoved them into the canal, wouldn't it? ;) Related to that - I wouldn't feel safe cycling / walking along there with them hanging around; I'd expect to be shoved canal-wards...

  • @kindnessark8064
    @kindnessark8064 7 років тому

    What the heck!!! Its unreal this stuff! Makes me laugh when councils install all these slow down barriers for cycling, and these motorbikers still get through is unreal! What if a child was coming along! Are police looking into this at all? Birmingham has some major issues with these motorbike gangs breaking the laws and riding dangerously. Last year in 2016 I captured on my Scooter Camera 2 masked motorbikers riding through Millennium Point's park along the Curzon St. This was my video on this link: www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-news/watch-dangerous-bikers-rampage-through-11960882

      Hopefully they will be able to get to this soon. Im still waiting to hear back from August when I reported a car driver who crashed into a curb to jump a red light for a bicycle shared crossing. Nearly ran me over. I did not upload it to UA-cam because I reported it to police. But Its been over 2 months now and I have not heard anything back from the police. I'd like my USB stick back as well. They never returned my other USB from 2016 in a road rage report. They did nab a warning to the driver I was told. It was a good USB as well. $20 16GB Apple USB I bought from Best Buy in the USA on my visit in 2013. Fortunately the one I gave in August was cheap Asda £5 USB

    These G4S vans dont seem to have much clue do they! I've heard about them being parked on pavements illegally in Birmingham and Kings Heath mostly. Pedestrians have been in the news posting videos about G4S illally parking. 2 years ago I had one nearly run me over. Sadly not on camera but as he went by me 5 mins later I noticed he was on his bloody phone! Would of reported him had I had a camera to capture him at the time.

      I had something simular wiht Diamond bus. I uploaded it as well about a month-2 months ago. I was making a right turn but could not get into the turn lane, so I darted to the bike box, where the bus driver started honking and gesturing to me. I was not happy at all with his behavour, then he started tailagating me! Sent a report to the company and they never replied!

    Typical driving standard for 70% of motorists. My friend taking his driving test yesterday said he failed because an HGV pulled out on him and he was forced to enter the wrong side of the road to avoid it. I feel bad for him. Bad driving is not just dangerous but removes people's chances to get their licences.

    These driver really seem to enjoy cutting across the lanes here. Really silly! Could you perhaps try saying more to the right of the Left Lane then when it moves right, you already are left of the middle lane? Would that work maybe? (I will admit its easier said than done with so many careless drivers about)

  • @SplitScreenVanMan
    @SplitScreenVanMan 8 років тому

    You could probably do with taking the lane all down there, if people want to overtake they can use the other lane. It looked pretty hairy for a second there, no wonder people are scared to get out on their bikes!

  • @kindnessark8064
    @kindnessark8064 8 років тому

    I've seen this on Google Maps. Looks dangerous having the slow lane form into the 2nd lane. Poor safety design there. That is a convenience design, to help allow entering vehicles onto the road, but slower more vulnerable road users must use a faster lane of moving traffic.
