MGIF: Bad overtake and nearly causing a collision on undertake - LF14VVD
This BMW driver was clearly in a hurry. While the silver Toyota already takes a creative line off the roundabout, the blue BMW aggressively follows behind. Racing on the driver has to slam his brakes on, only start to accelerate again to undertake the car. While doing so, the rear steps out to the right and almost makes contact with the car to its right.
On the plus side, two great and safe overtakes near the end of the video.

Way too close - LX06MPU
Переглядів 1099 років тому
Way too close an overtake by this driver, to the point where I had to stabilise myself with my hand against the side of his car. Then he slows down to a crawl for some reason. Passed him while it is safe, suggesting he should keep a better eye on the road next time. LX06MPU LX06 MPU LX06-MPU "LX06 MPU" LX 06 MPU 20150205T1007
Metro Rod on phone and MGIF - MW60ELC

Metro Rod driver is on his phone as he approaches the junction. His behaviour only gets worse when he overtakes down the hill while I'm doing 30MPH, must be doing well over 40 at that point. Only to slam his brakes on a bit further as a petrol station stop is apparently required. MW60ELC MW60 ELC MW60-ELC "MW60 ELC" MW 60 ELC 20140721T0839

First time I noticed the Audi was when the driver quickly overtook me at a set of traffic lights while I was setting of. I pulled ahead of the driver again the ASL. Often I stay back, but in this area I end up accelerating faster and move at 30mph while drivers are hesitant an slam on their brakes due to the speed camera (observe the smart car). A bit after the camera there is a sudden close pa...

Lorry MGIF - SF07BWD
Переглядів 33810 років тому
While cycling down the road I hear a lorry to the right behind me, but not really gaining. A quick glance shows that the vehicle is in the right hand lane, but not approaching me for an overtake. At this point I make sure I am taking the lane as it is very common for cars to under or overtake me without enough space on this roundabout (as can be seen in one of my previous videos). I have to sto...

Very rainy day, which resulted in an unfortunate water drop obscuring most of the incident. The aftermath more than makes it clear what happened though. The drive of the silver car was looking straight at me while continuing to pull out of the side road. The blue car coming in the opposite direction was turning left into the road she came from, causing her to set off without double checking the...
Dangerous bus driver at roundabout - LX12DJJ
Переглядів 64 тис.10 років тому
Approaching the roundabout in the primary position, I move over slightly to the left as the lanes are wide enough for traffic continuing on via the roundabout to pass me. Normally I would violate the traffic rules and go across the red and hatched area to make it to the left hand lane of the roundabout faster, but sometimes there is traffic there which has priority. This occurred today, requiri...
MGIF Bus 64 - YT59DYG
Переглядів 2010 років тому
Getting close to a bus stop I notice a bus overtaking me while indicating left. Rather than waiting behind me for about 10 seconds so I can clear the stop, the driver is taking the bus on a straight course to cut me up, requiring me to take avoiding action. When informing the driver about him cutting me up, his response was 'didn't you see me indicate?'. Well, yeah - but that doesn't magically ...

Apologise for the bad language, adrenaline rush needed venting. Lots of traffic during the morning commute, using the cycle lane to pass it. Since a junction is coming up I slow down just in case. Luckily as it turns out, because the driver in the silver Renault blindly follows the car in front requiring me to perform an emergency stop. The driver never slowed down in the side street, so probab...

Cycling through stormy weather at 20mph a driver thinks it is a good idea to pull out of a driveway and stop in the middle of the road in front of me. Luckily breaks still worked ok and I had enough traction to come safely to a stop. X14BDJ X14 BDJ X14-BDJ "X14 BDJ" X 14 BDJ 20131218T2027
MGIF 314 bus - LX12DJV
Переглядів 34510 років тому
Approaching the roundabout I start to take primary position and check behind me. On the second check I notice a bus coming up driving through the marked area. Turns out there is not enough space before the roundabout for the bus to overtake, requiring the driver to move left pushing me to the side of the road. To avoid running into me the driver ends up driving over the inside bit of the rounda...

Переглядів 5210 років тому
Horrible weather making bike brakes pretty useless. Clearly not as useless as the ones of the car pulling all the way through the ASL over both lines though. After pointing the is out to the lady driver, her response was 'Oh, I'm sorry, does this affect you?'. Well, yes, yes it does. Next time you decide to break the rules you might well hit me.

Approaching the roundabout I take the primary position, only for the driver in the green car to overtake me and cut in front of me without indicating, and then going full on the brakes. After barely avoiding a collision, having to take evasive action and go down the left of the car, I pull in front of the vehicle to be in a safer position for pulling away onto the roundabout. When pulling away,...

Approaching the roundabout the lanes slightly narrow. The van driver somehow insisted that there was space for both him and my bike in the lane, with a car sitting in the lane next to him. Only me jumping off and against the curb made this work. BD55XKZ BD55 XKZ BD55-XKZ "BD55 XKZ" BD 55 XKZ 20140311T2046

    If you was an alien and came to earth, you would be shocked that cyclists are allowed on major roadways. It’s combining 2 incompatible elements that due to their speed, can never work together. You have situations like this, where a cyclists thinks he has a zone that demands equal rights, but this mind set prevents him from accepting that at times, he needs to slow down.

    SO many comments "use the cycle lane" when in reality you don't have to! The cycle lane is there for cyclists, yes, but you don't have to use it if you don't want to... And yes, it may be hard to be a bus driver but it is also hard to be a cyclist.

    Bus driver clearly made a mistake that could have been dangerous. But there is a cycle lane, use it. Bumping up a kerb worse than losing your life? If a car was on cycle lane you would moan so don't be on the road when there is cycle path built with hard labour and cost for your safety.

  • @CBLondon
    @CBLondon 6 років тому

    How anyone can be braindead enough to think that the cyclist did something wrong here is beyond me. Take a moment to look at the markings on the ground. The red area with the solid white lines mean DO NOT CROSS. It is illegal to cross them. If the cyclist wanted to take the 2nd exit (as shown in the video) then he must stay to the RIGHT side of the red marked area, this is to ensure there is no conflict with traffic turning left, it's essentially a protected zone. So, now that you know this, where on earth do you expect the cyclist to go when a bus overtakes then immediately squeezes him out of the lane? Just take one moment and engage your brain, there is nothing but poor, careless driving from the bus driver here. The fact he also had no idea what he'd done is alarming, the fact that you lot despite having clear and re-playable evidence still blame the cyclist, while still being allowed to legally use a car, is even more alarming.
