My speed at that point was 14.2 mph not bad for a 79 year old, the parked traffic was not moving very fast, and that git had less than ten metres before the traffic Island, so very unsafe and drivers of cars are now next to bottom for priority, please read the Highway Code book, its free online.

I'm changing lanes you stupid sod, if you drive like that then you should be locked up!

@ why are cyclists so miserable? Drive or ride a mechanically powered type of transport that pays road tax and insurance and you might gain the respect of your fellow road users 🤷‍♂️

If you're as bad as that driver, then take a recourse on how to drive safely.

@@TheNordog he did nothing wrong, please explain what he did wrong if you think he did? Go on embarrass yourself as much as you have by saying recourse

Sandles clip to the pedals without socks most of the time. If your eyes could not see the issue get a bigger screen or your eyes tested!

@@TheNordog he passed you with plenty space. Why should he unnecessarily cross into the oncoming lane? Sounds more like you are just a typical cyclist that likes to complain

Thanks but it is pathetic with all that spare grass, mind you if they did use the grass areas they would not keep it clear for long.

So, it is a bad design, the cyclist is simply following the roundabout and is not crossing. If it was done for safety, to make sure the cyclist would stop and look, make the cycle path further away from the roundabout, so it is a real crossing.

According to the HC cars should be stopping and giving priority to crossing peds and cyclists

You'd need a neck like an owl to be able to check for vehicles approaching from that angle. A better design would be to put the cycle crossing slightly further down the road from the roundabout and have it on a raised / humped platform that forces motorists to slow down.

@@philroo1 priority is given not taken. You shouldn't be jumping out in front of cars and demanding they stop. You stop. They see you. If they give priority, you cross. If they don't, you don't. Them's the rules and whilst motorists should be giving priority we all know that 99.99999% don't. So why on earth would you assume that they will?

@@raithrover1976 that roundabout is no different from any other roundabout or junction. The problem isn't an inability to physically see. It's that the rider didn't bother to slow appropriately and look adequately. We whine and moan about cars not being attentive and then ignore when we operate in an equally cavalier fashion and somehow still find someone else to blame. Yes, the on the road, on the pavement, on the road, across the carriageway, on the pavement again cycleways are terrible and dangerous. Knowing that, why is the rider not being extra cautious? Stop. Lifesaver. Proceed if it safe to do so. If you can't physically look over your shoulder then you shouldn't be operating any vehicle on the road.

I mean that's really debatable bc in the US it's so bad you won't go anywhere on a bike. Here it is saying "come ride your bike" then putting you into a death trap. I think first option sounds better to me. But that's personal opinion. 😅

Wiltshire Police refused me even though a van driver hit me. The local cops are hidden until called.

This was on a narrow lane approaching double-blind bends, I know the road very well, last year a car driver was passing us as a car came head on and both had to do an emergency stop same place.

Were you in the car then?

@@TheNordog I wasn't, but like all the other comments I really don't see much wrong from the car driver. Please ride safe.

I know the road you don't.

You must be a terrible driver I hope you are not near me let alone in the UK

@@TheNordog . 55 years old, spent years covering large swathes of the UK for work, driving in excess of 40,000 business miles per year. Many years riding sports motorbikes on the road and on tracks. Clean licence (never had points), no accidents. Yeah, terrible driver (not). You strike me as someone who is looking for ways to be offended. Spent that time and energy in some advanced training and improve your obs. And drop the wounded pride.

@@Cheradanine My pall in front or me might have been injured or dead or perhaps a faster younger ride coming up from Salisbury, if in a hurry why not use the A 36 main road like I used to in 40-ton trucks.

@@TheNordog You must be a terrible cyclist if you couldn't control your cycle in that environment.

@@TheNordog You are insane

Except the cyclist..

I was trying to save his/her no-claims bonus from plunging to zero by warning the driver that it is a very dodgy set of narrow bends, as you lot were not there at that time you have only my video form an opinion.

@@TheNordog What a joker!

if you don’t want opinions don’t post a video numpty

@@Humanity101-zp4sq Do you lot know the road personally? I doubt it. Hundreds of cyclists use this route from Salisbury to Warminster (both ways) most weekends most are very fast young fit racers, some are just young family riders to the cafe or the lakes some are very old, I myself have done this route for well over ten years at speed, with a dog trailer and still go as fast as I can, but some drivers just can't be bothered to slow down or use the A36 not a mile away, why because it can be dangerous to drive on with heavy trucks and speeding motorbikes and sports cars capable of breaking the speed limits of 30,40,50 and the 60mph limits.

It is a narrow lane and gets even more narrow with an S-bend, we Had two opposing cars nearly head-on beside us, a few weeks before this as we cycled in the opposite direction.

And another di*ck head, we all paid tax that covers the roads since the 1930s, If happened to you then you would be crying to Mother. By the way, tarmac roads were not made for car drivers but for lady cyclists to stay clean, rich lady cyclists after the safety bicycle were invented long before motor cars were electric or the combustion-engined from Germany, Please read the Highway Code Book it is online these days!

@TheNordog I ain't arrogant and stupid enough to place myself in such a stupid position or wearing skin tight shorts. Trusting some nuggets that can't stand me behind the controls of tones of metal with my life. Ohh that sounds like fun But if that rocks your boat

When approaching a junction slow down dopy, plus look at this car that was parking up as the light changed for the traffic in front of me it reversed into the bay very well but not fully in the box also I had to give it room if the drive decided to get out quickly. You all were not there I was and at the time I did not know that that idiot racing up behind me was there so me giving that car room was a good move! Now please get online and read about the Highway Code of Great Britain before you speak!
