Except where , and may have been the case with the black car at the beginning , the cyclist was also turning left and had signalled his intention to do so - then it can be OK for another road user to safely turn left with them , road width permitting . However , cyclists catching up with already left turning vehicles and trying to pass to their left is just plain suicidal , as well as wrong .
Yeah that one is a dick move, and where I would draw the line. These ones aren't even a decent distance from the junction at all, may as well just save the time and run over the cyclist huh 🙄 (actually let me not say that, some people may get ideas...)
0:47 Every time a car overtakes me just to make a right turn 1or 2 second later I loose a little bit of faith in humanity. It just shows they value 2 seconds of their time more than the safety of another person.
It isn't even as if doing so really saves tie, inevitably they just end up having to brake harder and risk a collision. They don't see to plan ahead ore than the next imediate obect in their path that they ust swerve around, " I must repeatedly squeeze past that cyclist even though I keep having to stop at red lights anyway." "I must reach that corner 1 second sooner, oops now I have to brake suddenly! Damn cyclist, you nearly scratched my paint and I've learned nothing. Me drive car good!"
How on earth are these so called drivers allowed on the roads with such DISGRACEFUL BEHAVIOUR to the cyclists. They also have no respect for the road signs & road markings either. 😡 Pure SELFISHNESS!!! cyclists ( the sensible ones ) have also a right to use the roads aswell. But, it seems that motorists ( or some) simply don't care about another life on the roads ( those on two wheels) We are all ment to share the roads SENSIBLY & SAFELY!!! But, it seems that some haven't got the braincell to work that out.
Yes… often in a narrow road or pinch point with a left turn…I check to see if a car is behind me and I actually stick my right arm out to signal right and pull right out centre lane. I am so sick of getting left hooked and then brake checked by these cretins.
Sometimes as cyclist you should hold the middle of the road for your on safety. At the point where the road narrows to be exact as you approach. A lack of confidence as a cyclist on the road is going to see you continue to have to deal with these issues.
Holding the middle of the lane will be mandatory from 29/01/22 and cars must give cyclists a minimum of 1.5 metres distance when overtaking, these are some of the new rules being introduced giving cyclists priority over cars on UK roads.
I am a car driver and i do have the occasional gripe about cyclists but after watching this there are some ignorant drivers on the road. The BMW that turned left and cut you off was the height of stupidity ,you should just have rammed into the side of him.
Hah, I was once (like 4 years ago) riding my bike on a road where they recently installed zigzags to slow down the traffic (bridge going over the highway). There was a woman in a car racing up behind me at 40mph, and I knew that she would be trouble. So when I was at the zigzags (4 meters wide) I just rode my bike in the middle, she started honking, cursing, swearing at me. They just don't care at all. I drive a car now, and there's absolutely no way I would be driving this careless and reckless. I just can't understand why these people are allowed on the road
1:37 Four cars would be missing their left mirror or be heavily scratched if this was me on the bike. I used to try to reason with people in a calm, respectful way but since +90% of responses are in the "fuck off/not my problem"-realm, drivers are now in my "fuck off/not my problem"-realm. Fun fact: many insurance companies don't cover vandalism 😈
Evidence of drivers targetting cyclists who see them as inconsequential. So they must be reported and stopped before they harm anymore as i have suffered and still am from the impact of a lethal battering ram on wheels.
It's not universally true that all car drivers don't care for cyclists is it? I'm a cyclist and a car driver. The drivers you've filmed have probably never been on a bike in their lives. They're unskilled and thoughtless and would benefit from training, but let's not get bigoted and use sweeping statements...
Ohhhh you mean like the sweeping bigoted statements that come from car drivers about cyclists? It's about respecting all road users, giving space to vulnerable road users and to not put them in danger with pointless overtakes, pullouts or manoeuvres.
The black merc that left hooked you at your "favourite" pinch-point for close overtakes and left hooks, did you actually make contact with the back of his car ? looked like it.
I'd like to make a comment from the standpoint of a driver. I drive a shuttle and I have to contend with cyclists a lot. I also ride a bike. In this video, I feel that the cyclist may not have been aware that the motorist has several blind spots in his/her vehicle. Also the driver has a full time job in paying attention to other drivers. Cyclists are not at the top of the list for being seen. The driver and the cyclist have to make snap decisions. I'll bet that the drivers cutting off the cyclist in the video did not see the cyclist. I saw that the cyclist may have put himself/ herself in harms way by riding between the line of cars and the curb. Believe me, the driver is not expecting this and may not see the cyclist. I would like to make the following suggestions for both the drivers and the cyclist. Slow down! Don't be aggressive. Expect that the drivers and the cyclists don't see each other. Don't take chances. Follow the rules for safe biking. Be visible! Be predictable in your riding. When I ride, I flow with the traffic. I don't take chances. I pretend that I am invisible and I don't expect the drivers to see me especially in heavy traffic. I absolutely do not go between the curb and the cars. I stay behind the car in front of me while waiting for a traffic signal. To sum all of this up, both the drivers and the cyclist have a responsibility to travel safely. The cyclist and the drivers are not in a war with each other. Know the issues for the drivers and the cyclist such as being seen and being predictable, and respect each other.
They think it alright as long as they don't hit us and their excuse is they do not see us that's why I have been hit 4 time and 2 of them were hit and runs
quamtaka the funny thing is that I wear 2x 1000lm lights and one 700lm light and that's just my headlights so ya it amazes me when they say they do not see me
Dodgy overtake, brake check and hook, they love that combo. Literally save 0 time as they could reduce speed more gradually for the turning behind you. The music felt fitting. People say motorcycles and very dangerous, mainly due to other drivers. I wonder if they are more or less dangerous than bicycles. You're more likely for a high speed collision, but you can also drop and dissappear if someone is doing something stupid.
Some of them i did swear. obviously with the music you wont be able to hear but i just depends on how im feeling that day hehe. most of the time im calm. im just astounded hos stupid some people can be
@@quamtaka - These types of drivers obviously don't care for the safety of cyclists, but I've also found they don't even care for their own safety. Or perhaps they just don't understand the laws of physics. My dad has a truck that weighs nearly 4 tons, and even more when it's loaded up. When either of us drive it, other drivers in smaller vehicles pull dumb moves like this. I could be doing 45 in a 35 with that truck (I very seldom break the speed limit), and some driver will pass illegally, cut me off, slam on the brakes, and turn. Meanwhile, I'm standing on the brake trying to keep their trunk out of their back seat. All so that they can save literally
Everyone of those drivers need awareness courses. That entire video covers every situation I’ve come across too. I’m a cyclist, mountain biker, car and van driver and I can tell you I just be the most courteous driver around, always looking out for fellow cyclists and giving them time and space without causing any delays to anyone, and never enact the MGIF only to be held up 10 yards further on.....! Ride safe and drive safer....! We are all human.
@2:32 in these situations I always signal to the right to show I’m gonna be taking the lane so cars cannot pass. Also where I’m from, there are signs a few meters before the crossing that say “No passing, here to crossing”
Inge Posch this guy's a fucking prick it's ok for him to pass on the inside but if somebody passes him on the outside it's the end of the fucking world run the bastard over
And only an arsehole would say that. If you don't know the kinetic energy difference between a cyclists and a vehicle then I suggest you go research it.
I don't know how it is in your country, but this is part of the reason I ride on the sidewalk when I'm getting around town, USA. Can't trust these dummies to always see me
Most drivers are idiots. When I want to get past cyclists, I make sure I give them loads of space. I don't cut in when coming up to a junction, I let them go first.
I must be really lucky. I cycle nearly every day. 17ml town and country and I never ever get into confrontation with car drivers or any vehicles. Makes me wonder if some cyclists invite trouble just for their You Tube profile.
So many wankers. Just getting back from a ride made this hard to watch (and kind of glad I don’t have a GoPro). Most of my ride was in a closed to cars park and I still had 3-4 incidents just getting there. I guess the big excuse is “traffic”, but most drivers never stop to think that they ARE traffic.
I use one of those orange reflector things that stick out. Put one broken drill bit on end. If a driver comes within 18" of the centre line of my bicycle, they get an audible reply of paint removing. I don't undertake, I follow the law and use the highway code, insured and have a well maintained bicycle
Then you are going equipped with an offensive weapon - expect to be charged if caught - also bear in mind you may injure the leg of another cyclist . If you have to deviate to avoid a pothole of a small child you could hit a vehicle with your weapon , and if a vehicle has to take evasive action because of something on their other side , it is YOU who will end up in trouble , not them , when you have equipped your bicycle with something that can have no other purpose than to inflict damage . You could be liable for a custodial sentence , that is just as much of an offensive weapon as carrying a knife and you have no reasonable excuse for it whatsoever . Beware - you have been warned .
Has always amazed me that cycle safety never teaches you to always be hovering on the brakes, like being a seasoned cyclist has done. Years of road riding has taught me all the little nuances and adjustments I have to make to my riding to stay safer (note that that's *safer* not *safe*). Hovering on the brakes is something I do habitually. It may not stop idiot drivers like these, but it might mean the difference between being angry and being dead. I cant count the number of times inner-city riding has resulted in me almost catapulting myself over the bars because I've had no option but to slam the brakes on as hard as I can or try a 1-round knock-out match with whatever great gangly pillock brained muppet faced arse wipe has carved me up like christmas dinner in his great lumbering 4x4 mega super turbo charged mountain expedition. God I hate those types. Bullies in big cars. Well the jokes on you oil for blood, because I'm already home while you're still stuck in traffic averaging 2 mpg
Where's the 'strongly agree' button for this survey? I'm a cyclist, and I drive. Most other cyclists I meet have pretty much zero regard for any rules of the road (they cross white lines, they go past stop lines, they don't signal, the use the sidewalk as much as the road, and expect drivers to give them at least 12 feet when passing them). I'm embarrassed to be associated with them, and can understand why drivers (you know, the guys who have a license, insurance etc., and are required by law and have to take a test to prove that they understand what traffic lights, lanes, signals, road signs etc are for) get pi55ed when they see cyclists doing whatever they feel like, with no care or consideration for anyone else. Having no licence plates kinda means there's no impact to you of cycling like a knob. Besides, of many cyclists I've met, they're only cycling on busy roads at rush hour because they've been banned from driving, or can't drive (so either way, are a fuc**** danger to everyone else). I see far more Cyclists taking the pi55 than I see Cyclists following the rules - so, like me, get used to it.
This is the only cyclist video on you tube that I agree with 100% . Drivers should be ashamed of themselves .What was impressive more than anything is your road position it wasn't invasive in the slightest you weren't blocking traffic causing a build up behind you and you were treated like that . They should all be on driver awareness courses
Car drivers need to remember you go to prison for man slaughter never damage a car .but if the fattys jump out too scrapping the it's on and we are most likely in much better shape . I think have man slaughter is a crime might make some think
It is ,in fact, about "people don't care each other". Let them change the seats and they will be making a video about you. Drivers don't care for cyclists, cyclists don't care for pedestrians and red lights zebra crossings and so on. It depends if you are toughtful or not, otherwise it doesn't matter if you are cyclist or a driver.
just a quick question from the 1st part of the video it looks like you ran a red light? Did that not apply to where you were or is the light there for just on the right hand side. I don't use cycle lanes and do not know how they work in regards of the video so just want to understand what went on there.
leithafae at that junction it is the right hand parts of the road that the traffic lights control. the lane i was in, which is a bus lane is just on a give way. the bus lane has a sensor so that when a bus or taxi or cyclist go past a certain point, the lights turn red allowing the busses, taxis and cyclists an easy passage past. its quite a good junction.
Annoying thing is that there's a stop line there as well, which just makes things confusing. Should take that one and put it on some of the roads I've used, where the line is almost invisible and so you have no idea where you should stop...
Today a car of course a Kia flew past me way over the speed limit when I was going the speed limit and they didn’t even go a lane over right beside me enough for me to be affected by all the air
There are times when the lane narrows that you need to claim the lane . I have to say that the road layout is very cycling unfriendly and encourages motorists to overtake where the road narrows. Some shocking but common place examples of really bad, dangerous and selfish driving.
I so wish the day will come when the police see fit to set up some sort of system where this footage can be submitted and drivers can be fined and given points for their dangerous driving. People's lives are at risk. This needs to be taken seriously.
0:18 I always hated that approach to the railway bridge, having to fight my way out across the lanes just to go straight past the university. Had to have a good head of steam built up.

@@davidparker9587 Ha Ha. I have a Jeep Grand Cherokee. I ride because 1) I can 2) Sure beats sitting in traffic 3) It's one of the best exercises 4) Even with the V8 in the Jeep, a tank of gas lasts 2 months because I ride instead of driving everyday. In fact, with fuel close to $4 a gallon, I save $60 a week. Which means my $1500 bike paid for itself in 6 months. 5) I don't contribute to the traffic congestion during rush hour. 6) I'm not polluting the air as much. So, why don't you ride a bike?
The turning left directly after passing is one of my pet peeves. I always make a conscious effort to check the indicator of any passing car when approaching a junction. With regards to the people pulling out in front of you. In some of the clips you shared you are in the wrong. If traffic is queued in front of you, you should assume one of the drivers will let someone out and ride accordingly. You did not slow down which in my opinion is foolish. Drivers who are flashed out won't be expecting a cyclist tearing up the inside so you really need to slow down in those circumstances.
It's still a give way so traffic should be making sure their exit is clear. It was not. Just because traffic has stopped and a driver has let them out they still need to check and give way
Salford Cyclist - Takaeve fine have it your way dude, just some friendly accident prevention advice. Whether it's right or wrong, slow down, cover the brakes and expect someone to pull out, they invariably will.
Damn, how do you manage to keep yourself from taking some of their wing mirrors off! I'm not advocating violence, especially on the roads, but how else will these dumb f's learn. Keep safe man & keep posting.
+Andrew Sykes i beg your pardon?? there are certainly cunts among cyclists, but there are also (quite a lot, actually) decent cyclists! i'm a postal worker on a bicycle, so i'm used to make long hours on an overloaded "mule" (fyi, a mule is an old Gazelle bicycle with a frontrack and HUGE panniers on the back) on all kinds of residential streets... at the start of the workday the back of my bicycle is as wide as a small car (like a "Smart") and i take up as much room as two cycles side by side. when i start my day's work i have to cycle to my section to start my round which is about 1 1/2 mile from the point where i pick up the mail. at that very same time the middleschool kids cycle to their schools and i'm sometimes being held up by them, not as much as in the begining for they know by now that i'm not very kind to groups that think they can take up as much space as they want. in the Netherlands you don't want to hit a cyclist with your motorised vehicle for you get punished for it! cyclist on cyclist collissions are looked at the same as a car on car collission. so i can wipe out the cunts without much problems as long as i take care that i'm the one following the trafficrules, and beliee me, i do! trafficfines are high here, so i don't want to be ticketed.... the motorists here are far better behaved then the ones in the UK, but i think that that has to do with the high fines and the, far better, policing on our roads. but i occassionally do meat some pillocks behind the wheel...
all over Europe? i bet you haven't been in the eastern part, in comparison the UK motorists are well behaved.... i have a nephew in Estonia and i don't want to ride there, not even on my strongest mule! i don't like to drive there either unless i have a tank of a car to do it with...
Because most cyclists are blind as a bat !! They dont anticipate or adjust their behaviour to co-exist on the roads , thats Why ur the most hated traffic participant ever !!!
@Nigel Buckham you must be a bloody cyclist i had a cyclist just pull out of a side road without looking all most hitting my car and sure he would have wrote it off who would pay he wont hes not insured he just fled the scene .
Most of the things on here I can put up with (we have to) but overtaking to turn left really gets my back up!
They just can't wait, can they?

Fantastic news for the Brits!
All of the clips in this video show drivers breaking the law. I'm confused as to how you perceive that a new law would change that fact?

I must be really lucky. I cycle nearly every day. 17ml town and country and I never ever get into confrontation with car drivers or any vehicles. Makes me wonder if some cyclists invite trouble just for their You Tube profile.
So many wankers. Just getting back from a ride made this hard to watch (and kind of glad I don’t have a GoPro). Most of my ride was in a closed to cars park and I still had 3-4 incidents just getting there.
I guess the big excuse is “traffic”, but most drivers never stop to think that they ARE traffic.
Yes, shit road layouts, and shit driving, making the roads a dangerous place for cyclists. They are literally trying to force us off the roads.
What's the big deal here!!!!!????? Nothing happened to the bi-psycho-lists!!!!!
Tell me again why cyclists are aloud to cycle next to a 1 ton to 35 ton vehicle...and risking there own death because they say I pay taxes.
Listen! Jungle drums! What they say?....Boom da boom boom da dum boom!
I use one of those orange reflector things that stick out. Put one broken drill bit on end. If a driver comes within 18" of the centre line of my bicycle, they get an audible reply of paint removing. I don't undertake, I follow the law and use the highway code, insured and have a well maintained bicycle
Then you are going equipped with an offensive weapon - expect to be charged if caught - also bear in mind you may injure the leg of another cyclist . If you have to deviate to avoid a pothole of a small child you could hit a vehicle with your weapon , and if a vehicle has to take evasive action because of something on their other side , it is YOU who will end up in trouble , not them , when you have equipped your bicycle with something that can have no other purpose than to inflict damage . You could be liable for a custodial sentence , that is just as much of an offensive weapon as carrying a knife and you have no reasonable excuse for it whatsoever .
Beware - you have been warned .
You are creating some problems in video for yourself by speeding up at junctions,
Has always amazed me that cycle safety never teaches you to always be hovering on the brakes, like being a seasoned cyclist has done.
Years of road riding has taught me all the little nuances and adjustments I have to make to my riding to stay safer (note that that's *safer* not *safe*). Hovering on the brakes is something I do habitually. It may not stop idiot drivers like these, but it might mean the difference between being angry and being dead. I cant count the number of times inner-city riding has resulted in me almost catapulting myself over the bars because I've had no option but to slam the brakes on as hard as I can or try a 1-round knock-out match with whatever great gangly pillock brained muppet faced arse wipe has carved me up like christmas dinner in his great lumbering 4x4 mega super turbo charged mountain expedition.
God I hate those types. Bullies in big cars. Well the jokes on you oil for blood, because I'm already home while you're still stuck in traffic averaging 2 mpg
Well that's not really fair, is it? They usually get at least 3 mpg.
@1:38 the bicycle lanes have dashed lines which gives drivers the wrong message I guess?
All in 4.21 minutes of riding your bike, must be the most unluckiest cyclist out there, 😳
Bike rider that don't stop at red lights and think they own the road gets my back up as well
it was better without music with just ambient noises. Pity.
Report them all. Give them points. Crash into the brsatad's.
So careful with bicyclest...loathe them go extra slow
Didn't the cyclist ride through a red light at the start?
This is published on Sunday, a car nearly hit me on Friday
People suck to much at driveing
Try to avoid accidents your self
I think he knows you and done it on purpose 😂
Where's the 'strongly agree' button for this survey? I'm a cyclist, and I drive. Most other cyclists I meet have pretty much zero regard for any rules of the road (they cross white lines, they go past stop lines, they don't signal, the use the sidewalk as much as the road, and expect drivers to give them at least 12 feet when passing them). I'm embarrassed to be associated with them, and can understand why drivers (you know, the guys who have a license, insurance etc., and are required by law and have to take a test to prove that they understand what traffic lights, lanes, signals, road signs etc are for) get pi55ed when they see cyclists doing whatever they feel like, with no care or consideration for anyone else. Having no licence plates kinda means there's no impact to you of cycling like a knob.
Besides, of many cyclists I've met, they're only cycling on busy roads at rush hour because they've been banned from driving, or can't drive (so either way, are a fuc**** danger to everyone else). I see far more Cyclists taking the pi55 than I see Cyclists following the rules - so, like me, get used to it.
Yeah big cap, jp
This is the only cyclist video on you tube that I agree with 100% . Drivers should be ashamed of themselves .What was impressive more than anything is your road position it wasn't invasive in the slightest you weren't blocking traffic causing a build up behind you and you were treated like that . They should all be on driver awareness courses
it's like a jungle out there
Cracking compilation
Car drivers need to remember you go to prison for man slaughter never damage a car .but if the fattys jump out too scrapping the it's on and we are most likely in much better shape . I think have man slaughter is a crime might make some think
It is ,in fact, about "people don't care each other". Let them change the seats and they will be making a video about you. Drivers don't care for cyclists, cyclists don't care for pedestrians and red lights zebra crossings and so on. It depends if you are toughtful or not, otherwise it doesn't matter if you are cyclist or a driver.
No it does. One is driving a 1.5 tonne murder weapon, the other is cycling
Shame about the drums
Ilove your nods.of disappointment lol
True…..
just a quick question from the 1st part of the video it looks like you ran a red light? Did that not apply to where you were or is the light there for just on the right hand side. I don't use cycle lanes and do not know how they work in regards of the video so just want to understand what went on there.
leithafae at that junction it is the right hand parts of the road that the traffic lights control. the lane i was in, which is a bus lane is just on a give way. the bus lane has a sensor so that when a bus or taxi or cyclist go past a certain point, the lights turn red allowing the busses, taxis and cyclists an easy passage past. its quite a good junction.
ok no worries cool.
he is coming out of a bus lane which is merely a give way ; the traffic lights control the lane to the right .
Annoying thing is that there's a stop line there as well, which just makes things confusing. Should take that one and put it on some of the roads I've used, where the line is almost invisible and so you have no idea where you should stop...
Today a car of course a Kia flew past me way over the speed limit when I was going the speed limit and they didn’t even go a lane over right beside me enough for me to be affected by all the air
There are times when the lane narrows that you need to claim the lane . I have to say that the road layout is very cycling unfriendly and encourages motorists to overtake where the road narrows.
Some shocking but common place examples of really bad, dangerous and selfish driving.
I so wish the day will come when the police see fit to set up some sort of system where this footage can be submitted and drivers can be fined and given points for their dangerous driving. People's lives are at risk. This needs to be taken seriously.
So do I, then half these Lycra wearing twats with absolutely no road sense will be taken off the roads for good.
A lot of them have more road sense compared to the ignorant twatty drivers
you would be surprised the road sense you develop when your not sitting in a metal bubble in your own little world
Shame that we can't do the same when you run red lights or even worse under take someone on a horse......
I think cyclists should pay road tax like any other vehicle...
Your nation is in dire need of mode dedicated bike lanes :(
boooooo
@@andrewthomas2406Warning! Carbrain alert! Carbrain alert!
@@andrewthomas2406Seriously, do you not understand induced demand? Bike lanes speed up car traffic.
0:18 I always hated that approach to the railway bridge, having to fight my way out across the lanes just to go straight past the university. Had to have a good head of steam built up.
That musics frightening
Yeah 😁, so is the driving 😂
that double whammy, island over take then turn left in front of you haha wtf
yeah i can understand, but... most of these clip on a scale to 1/10 are 4-5-6
also ride faster and more. get youre confidence level up and your skill too.
me im from Montreal and thing like that happen every day. so you get use to it

@@davidparker9587 Ha Ha. I have a Jeep Grand Cherokee. I ride because 1) I can 2) Sure beats sitting in traffic 3) It's one of the best exercises 4) Even with the V8 in the Jeep, a tank of gas lasts 2 months because I ride instead of driving everyday. In fact, with fuel close to $4 a gallon, I save $60 a week. Which means my $1500 bike paid for itself in 6 months. 5) I don't contribute to the traffic congestion during rush hour. 6) I'm not polluting the air as much.
So, why don't you ride a bike?

Thats the reason time, I find that some drivers will wait if there are not in a hurry then its cyclists beware

*drivers don't care for cyclists*
True. We really don't.
Your going to get killed, undertaking like that mate.
dont like drums.
Great edit much like cycling in Belfast
+Bicycle Cam Belfast thanks. Yeah too many inconsiderate and unobservant drivers about
The turning left directly after passing is one of my pet peeves. I always make a conscious effort to check the indicator of any passing car when approaching a junction.
With regards to the people pulling out in front of you. In some of the clips you shared you are in the wrong. If traffic is queued in front of you, you should assume one of the drivers will let someone out and ride accordingly. You did not slow down which in my opinion is foolish. Drivers who are flashed out won't be expecting a cyclist tearing up the inside so you really need to slow down in those circumstances.
It's still a give way so traffic should be making sure their exit is clear. It was not. Just because traffic has stopped and a driver has let them out they still need to check and give way
Salford Cyclist - Takaeve fine have it your way dude, just some friendly accident prevention advice. Whether it's right or wrong, slow down, cover the brakes and expect someone to pull out, they invariably will.

flip inheck oh yeah just rewatched it. My bad
Lol whats with the drums?........
Maybe its just me but cycling on british roads doesn't generate a nice attitude towards car drivers.
+andrew charles doesn't generate a good attitude against cyclists because of slot of drivers
Damn, how do you manage to keep yourself from taking some of their wing mirrors off! I'm not advocating violence, especially on the roads, but how else will these dumb f's learn.
Keep safe man & keep posting.
Thanks. Ive thought about it but never wanted to actually do it :)
+Andrew Sykes i beg your pardon??
there are certainly cunts among cyclists, but there are also (quite a lot, actually) decent cyclists!
i'm a postal worker on a bicycle, so i'm used to make long hours on an overloaded "mule" (fyi, a mule is an old Gazelle bicycle with a frontrack and HUGE panniers on the back) on all kinds of residential streets...
at the start of the workday the back of my bicycle is as wide as a small car (like a "Smart") and i take up as much room as two cycles side by side.
when i start my day's work i have to cycle to my section to start my round which is about 1 1/2 mile from the point where i pick up the mail. at that very same time the middleschool kids cycle to their schools and i'm sometimes being held up by them, not as much as in the begining for they know by now that i'm not very kind to groups that think they can take up as much space as they want. in the Netherlands you don't want to hit a cyclist with your motorised vehicle for you get punished for it! cyclist on cyclist collissions are looked at the same as a car on car collission. so i can wipe out the cunts without much problems as long as i take care that i'm the one following the trafficrules, and beliee me, i do! trafficfines are high here, so i don't want to be ticketed....
the motorists here are far better behaved then the ones in the UK, but i think that that has to do with the high fines and the, far better, policing on our roads. but i occassionally do meat some pillocks behind the wheel...
all over Europe?
i bet you haven't been in the eastern part, in comparison the UK motorists are well behaved....
i have a nephew in Estonia and i don't want to ride there, not even on my strongest mule! i don't like to drive there either unless i have a tank of a car to do it with...
you can shit in your pants there, even as a pedestrian....
on a bike I would have taken more than mirrors off
As a van driver I can't see nothing wrong at all.
Should've gone to specsavers
I agree. All the cyclists need to be ran off the road.
Should've gone to those anger management classes
Well there are drivers and then there are licence holders.
@@davidthomas4095 van drivers are primitive half retreded cunts
the gay drumming makes this video worse
Salford Cyclist - Takaeve not my fault you seem to be offended
The very first clip had the cyclist jumping a red light
+Craig Dyer no, if you look, the bus lane isn't controlled by the lights
Because most cyclists are blind as a bat !! They dont anticipate or adjust their behaviour to co-exist on the roads , thats Why ur the most hated traffic participant ever !!!
i think that the problem lie's because cyclists are hard to see and silent
@Nigel Buckham you must be a bloody cyclist i had a cyclist just pull out of a side road without looking all most hitting my car and sure he would have wrote it off who would pay he wont hes not insured he just fled the scene .
"Drivers" not Vehicles!
Thats actually a good point. doh
Overtaking a turning car is whos fault ? Even if its not goeing wrong ???
Cyclists are good at risking their own lives.
