@@alexwalker9803 the car wasn’t there first and had a clear view of me approaching. See the van give way at the first one for how to do it.

@FolkestoneCameraBike it was there first it had clearly passed the hashings.yes it could see you and you could see it too and as a vulnerable road user you could see it had committed before you got there. You should have stopped or slowed more to protect yourself and that situation could have been avoided I would have slowed to give them the room to clear it and then gone.

@@alexwalker9803 no they hadn’t passed the line. I saw them from miles back and they could have seen me and yielded. Their barreling through was their decision, and it was a wrong one.

@FolkestoneCameraBike every cyclists makes a bad call and this was your one. I would have made the same decision as the car regardless of you being on a bicycle or in a car because did not have the right to the priority given the distance you where from the narrowing. I watched multiple times. Regardless of your belief that you had priority the car had clearly committed and you had more than enough room to slow to a pace where the car could have cleared without causing the incident you caused. This behaviour is what gets other cyclists like myself tarred too.

@@alexwalker9803 what you can’t see from the camera view (on the bars) is what i could see with my eyes. As i pass the second narrow section of the three, i am out right to see right to the bottom. The car is not there. As they approach into view i am already committed to passing the third narrow section and they should yield. When you approach this from the bottom, the view is poor so you have to slow to see up the hill. That is why i’m out wide right, to be seen. They didn’t look and barrelled through.

@@NitroNuggetTV why are you not suggesting the motorist make changes to their use of roads, only me? Surely if a flow on the roads is what you aspire for, then more cyclists achieves this. You wouldn’t need traffic calming like this if there were more people on two wheels…

@@FolkestoneCameraBike Probably because in the 10ish years I’ve been cycling in south London I’ve never let a non-event like this bother me and hamper the flow of movement. Difference between you and I is that I would’ve just eased off as it’s clearly down hill, got back on my side of the road and no one would’ve had to drive on the path. You escalated the conflict, all be it in a minor way. I’m also not in a state of delusion where I think drivers will ever be perfect, even if they’re somehow forced to read the Highway Code. I’ve had and Witnessed as many cyclists causing the same problems cars do. It’s a human problem, not a car problem. I’m content in just making sure I do the right thing and don’t feel the need to police the roads because I’ve been microscopically inconvenienced...

I disagree tbh, but it’s in a gray area for sure

@WolfysPack a big part of real driving is considering the safest thing to do, regardless of priority. The cyclist took 6-7 seconds before considering to brake when faced with the hazard ahead of them. They should have slowed down gradually when spotting the hazard ahead of them. To add to that if they had braked earlier they could have kept going at a slower pace and then neither vehicle would have needed to stop at the pinch point.

@@WolfysPack have a look at where the car was first sighted an the give way line on their side, it's well back from the pinch point and they wouldn't have been able to see the cyclist and stop at this line.

@@jastat they had not passed the give way point after seeing me as someone to give way to. Hence they should have given way

@@NigelBuckham i did. Kent Police outcome was NFA 🤦🏻‍♂️

@@robinburn4974 ….about lawbreaking motorists. There, finished it for you 👍🏼

honestly its a laugh atp

@@michaelrejoinbradford1282 i ride a bike and love it. Life is brill ta. Get one and come along 🚴🏼‍♂️🚴🏼‍♂️😍

@@FolkestoneCameraBike got one but I don’t go round grassing people up to the police like vindictive people do. So enjoy your bike but leave other alone

@@michaelrejoinbradford1282 what do you think ‘intelligence’ is if it isn’t information provided by members of the public?

@@seansean9675 it’s not tailgating, it’s drafting. The reason tailgating in a car is dangerous is because you can’t see what the car in front can see. A bicycle can see in front of the cyclist in front. The reason a car behind a bike is tailgating is because if the bike takes evasive action, the car kills the cyclist. A cyclist behind will also see the same hazard as a hazard, whereas a pothole to a car simply makes the suspension work and isn’t a dangerous hazard.

@@FolkestoneCameraBike being too close to the road user in front is tailgating, as you would call it if a car was “drafting” you. Also as the case law puts the blame on the cyclist facilitating you remain wrong

@@seansean9675 you really haven’t a clue do you 🤦🏻‍♂️.

@@FolkestoneCameraBike video evidence shows facts not your delusions

@@seansean9675 if this was a safe pass, why then did the police issue a warning letter?

@@FolkestoneCameraBike because they never did issues anything

@@seansean9675 do you have a brain?

@@FolkestoneCameraBike there was no offence committed in the video so the police do not issue anything

@@FolkestoneCameraBike seems like you haven’t been able to come up with anything and have accepted the truth

@@seansean9675 “allow a pass” isn’t something i’m obliged to do. I’m not going to slow down and stop each time a car approaches from behind. The onus is upon the car to pass safely and wait for an opportunity to do so. Look up the word onus as i imagine you don’t know what it means from previous engagement with you.

@@yacob510 the clue is kinda highlighted in my channel description; reporting dangerous and careless driving to the police. What else were you expecting?

Read rule 163. Specifically mentions 1.5m….. “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”

@@FolkestoneCameraBike not a legal requirement at all.

@@Momosapian its is a problem with a lot of the video from cyclists on youtube. the other side of that is of course they never learn from their own mistakes, avoiding them from happening again. they simply continue to make the same mistakes again and again and again.

cyclist should read the highway code rule 72 rule 168 rule 169

The road surface is shocking to the left, there are oncoming cars and it’s not safe to pass. Do some advanced training and we can talk as equals.

Two abreast is recommended by motoring specialists for cyclists for two reasons; 1. A line of 15 bikes is much longer than a line 7 or 8 bikes long. And the amount of room you have to give one bike means you need to cross the white line so it needs to be clear, so actually, it’s easier to pass 15 bikes two abreast safely than it is 15 bikes in single file. Do some advanced motoring lessons, educate yourself. Then you’ll find you won’t embarrass yourself on UA-cam comments too often 👍🏼👍🏼.

@@FolkestoneCameraBike "Advanced motoring lessons?" you mean pass plus? which i done over 15 year ago, your instructor takes you on the motorway after you pass the test, for a few more lessons and pointers.. Only done it to bring insurance down. No one likes cyclists mate, get used to it, you and your mates are a menace to the road and you wonder why everyone beeps and moans at you.

I’ll quote from a Traffic cop: “Ride in a position to deter and prevent dangerous and unsafe passes from those behind”. The chap is positioned there as he can see cars coming up the hill (one takes evasive action to avoid a collision with the van) as a message to the van “it’s not safe to pass here, wait”. But he does it anyway. Ludicrous.

@@FolkestoneCameraBike So bikes can position themselves in that red tarmac/no mans area to deter unsafe passes from behind, lol, So bikes are allowed to police the road... sure sure, Dont be silly, youre human like the rest of us... the lead bike wanted to make it hard work for him to overtake ;) Sticking out your elbows out (in F1 slang) A road that looks 3.5m wide, bikes have no business being there. put as much technical "traffic cop" highway code spin on it as you like... Just remember youre on a bike, you will come out worse in accidents compared to a ludicrous driver. Stay safe out there.

@@thematchroomcasual5007 while you may not agree, yes a bicycle can position themselves to prevent overtakes where it’s not safe to do so. That the lead bike felt they had to be so far out to do so says more about the impatience of the motorist than the quality of riding of the cyclist. If your takeaway from this video is the cyclist is in the wrong then you should seek to do some advanced motoring tuition. As an advanced motorist myself, it was £300 well spent.

@@FolkestoneCameraBike both in the wrong... A silly driver and a lead bike placed where he shouldnt be, Its common sense really... bicycles (80cm-1m width) dont need to be 3.5m from the curb, but i get it, You gotta back your guy... this is the only video you have where i think a bike is in the wrong too... and i think u do too... tell your mate to play nicely

@@thematchroomcasual5007 do an advanced motoring qualification and then we can talk as equals. Until then your knowledge and expertise of road positioning is less than mine is. As both a professional and expert witness i would be more confident that my view is more likely to be agreed with by a motoring law enforcement officer. Good day to you sir. Drive safe, and remember, cameras are everywhere.

Police prosecuted so hopefully she won’t pull out on you having learned a lesson in observation 👍🏼👍🏼

Yeah cuz my not doing an emergency stop is the poor road use in the video…. Remember that the next time someone on the road doesn’t indicate and you get angry and be more angry with yourself for not being able to read their mind.

yeah funny how the cyclist doesnt see the car and brake.
