Isn't it strange that he was so concerned about you 'holding him up' yet not only has plenty of time for a nice chat in the middle of the road, but he also didn't care at all for the people behind him.
Easiest way to deal with these people. "If I'm holding you up, why have you stopped and gotten out of your car?". I find asking questions to idiots, makes their brains hurt, as they dismantle their own fantasy by answering. Cognitive dissonance is powerful.
Absolutely spot on. Even if another road user is slowing your progress in some way doesn't automatically mean they are in the wrong. People need to learn to share the roads.k
@@ibs5080 spot on?? 😂😂. He stays in the middle of the road while cars go on the opposite side to pass. If not passing then they go 3 mile an hour. I'm sure all you lot are regards that stick up for this bell end
@@thomasjones928 Well, I think you meant “retards”, but having said that, are you a U.K. driver ? Do you realize that cyclists can take up the whole width of the lane, it’s not just an automobiles territory. Whoever is behind has to wait their turn in a marked area to pass.
They’re always in a rush until they’ve got all day to argue. Could he not see the cars going at the same speed as you? Or the fact that the train added far more time to his trip? Plonker.
I cycle on this road often and there is really no point in speeding - it’s 20mph max with spots where cars have to give way to oncoming traffic. Just slow down and enjoy the weather.
Sorry but BMW owns the road. If you open the glove box there is a certificate of ownership for the road. And they put extra loud horns to let us cyclists know we are trespassing on their property
The cyclist was keeping up with the car in front - where exactly did the impatient Audi driver think he was going to go? What a bellend, but Hey! it is an Audi, but how come its not a white one - they're the worst.
Same, 30 minutes agoriding my moped through a green light and someone opposite way was turning to go across me, went to pull out infront of me (100% his retard fault, I aint ever stopping there for a nugget like that) Then has the audacity to shout "PRICK" Absolute REMs drivers on the wirral.
What gets me is that the cyclist was keeping up with the red car in front up until the Audi driver started honking at him, which distracted the cyclist, causing him to slow down slightly (and then catch back up with the red car). Dude clearly just didn't like the fact that it was a cyclist "holding him up".
Audi inability to think rationally.....whenever I am behind a cyclist keeping up with traffic at 30 MPH + it always makes me smile and think back to the days when I could do so. Sadly those days are gone for me now but I still appreciate cyclists going for the burn. 😃👍
I actually find your vlogs very educational, as a van driver I'm more aware of cyclists on the road and ease off the throttle at junctions to anticipate what the cyclists is going to do next giving the cyclists the right of way
@@thegameeeeeee8666 There going more than 10.... It's a narrow, single lane road in a residential area, in the middle of the day, with parked cars, obstacles and various potential hazards all about... so 30 would be WAY too high... Regardless its called a "limit" not an "allowance," you are not "allowed" to bomb along at the highest limit, indiscriminately, whenever you want... Your a nob if one of those who mashes the engine up to highest possible limit "every dammed time" and you only wear the machine components out all the sooner costing you a lot more over the years. You also wont improve your overall commute times in areas like this as you leave yourself less time to read to road and have to break harder/to a full stop for obstacles and junctions a lot more often... This is why speed limit allocations need updating because too many wouldn't think about it at all and couldn't understand a "limit" is not an "allowance..." If it was speed "allowances" it would have to be done in 5,10,15,20,25mph ect, for every little stretch outside of motorways and wide main roads... That way the times you would have been able to go "nearer" the "limit" in reasonable conditions, like when the road is clear at a less busy time, you wouldn't be "allowed" anymore because of too many doushbags taking the piss out of the "limit" system for too long and ruining it for everyone. But then they do already, motorways are built for high speeds, residential and urban areas are built for day to day life, driving like a nob just makes life worse for everyone doushbags included themselves.
The speed limit is exactly that not a Target, plus with the speed bumps and cars parked on both sides and the speed limit sign being 20 MPH I would not over take a car on that road so why does he feel the need to pass a bike? The highway code states that “ you should pass a bike, horse or horse drawn vehicle with the same distance as you would a motor vehicle” typical case of “I’ve got to be first” syndrome
The driver was driving poorly, however to imply all Audi drivers drive that way is clumsy. I doubt there is a correlation between a specific brand of car and poor driving. Poor driving isn’t selective
@@bartoni79 I'm a cop, and let me tell you, there's a reason why stereotypes exist in cars. Audi drivers from our county rank close to no 1 most incident related, so much we don't actually have a marked audi police car as some officers believe in the superstition.
@@LazarkGaming we dont have that in the UK lol If that was the case then all the KSIs would be largely Audi drivers ... People who drive dangerously will also not cross the road without lookong expecting all the traffic to magically stop immediately 🤣....or will drive in the same bad way if they were in a van, or even on a bike. Bad people are bad people..I'm sure this driver was still bad even before he got this Audi 🤣
Highway Code 112. The horn. “ Use only while your vehicle is moving and you need to warn other road users of your presence. Never sound your horn aggressively. “
The bit of rule 112 after that is particularly useful; "You MUST NOT use your horn... except when another road user poses a danger."... ...which the cyclist wasn't posing!
The horn is basically the same as shouting "I'm an extremely impatient and incompetent driver, beware i'm a danger to everyone around me because i'm selfish"
An absolute buffoon of a human being, especially when he thought he could intimidate you when he got out of the car. And the exchange showed his stupidity. Well done on standing your ground - he obviously wasn’t expecting it.
The funy thing is that the cyclist wasn't filming the car anyway until he was beeping at him. Well done the cyclist for challenging the car drivers behavior and driving.
That is scary ridiculous. I can only imagine he got triggered because the cyclist decided to wait in the shade. His argument is ridiculous too because he's riding his horn before the cyclist films him.
Rule 101 in the Audi version of the My-way Code is: 'cyclists must always stop riding and let you overtake unhindered. If they do not, harass them until they do'.
What is it with cyclists and thinking audis are so special? You do realise this is a base spec 15 plate audi a3. Its nothing special. You wouldn't have made that remark if he was driving something non german. You obviously think his car is special else you wouldn't have even mentioned it.
@@migsy1717 It's the planks driving basic Audi's that think they are special. They can only stretch to the base model, but think the badge on the front gives them some sort of cadre. It's also worth pointing out that the A3 as well as sharing most components with a Golf is also the same as a Skoda Octavia. The more discerning driver would go for a higher spec Golf or Skoda and spend the savings on a really nice bike.
There is zero logic, the cyclist is practically keeping pace with the Aygo in front, it’s just a case of an Audiot not liking someone in front of them.
The guy in the car... PAYS INSURANCE, ROAD TAX, he gets to use the road. You cyclist make me lmao. Yes you cyclist go spend £20k on a car then £2k a year on insurance just to do the same speed as a bicycle? No? If he can afford a car he should be able to use the road. If you cant cycle safely in the road (e.g up to speed) maybe you shouldnt be cycling on the road. Also I love how you cyclist get brave but as soon as the hop out the car casually its "SIRI PLZ CALL 999" I do love these videos and these comments but probably for different reasons than you Karens looool P.S I love how he shouts at the guy like "you got something to say to me" like hes hard, but as he says it HE RIDES OFF Thats you cyclists down to a "T"
@@thegameeeeeee8666 You drive only via revocable licence; your driving is a privilege and not a right. Cyclists, pedestrians and horse riders/carriages all use the public highway by right. Know your place. You're required by law as a driver to have MOT, VED, insurance, and a licence; cyclists, pedestrians, and horse riders/carriages are not required to have these. None of these payments change the fact that your driving is a privilege and not a right. There is no road tax - it was abolished in the 1930s to stop entitled drivers from claiming that they own the public highway. You mean VED, a pollution tax. It's obvious why cyclists and pedestrians don't pay that tax. As a driver you're a freeloader - the sum of motoring taxes in the UK is far less than the sum cost of motoring to society. All drivers are heavily subsidised by non-driving taxpayers. I have a playlist of drivers disqualified by the courts as a result of cyclist videos here: ua-cam.com/play/PL50HnB_iNgL4VLK1XXwdYkX2kn3Bbjh7B.html Tens of thousands of cyclists run video cameras and will report bad driving around them. From now on you'll remember this conversation every time you see cyclists on the road, and you'll think about some of us filming you. I suggest you drive properly around us all.
@@CyclingMikey Mikey, for once I'm surprised at you: The "road tax" vs "VED" argument, oft trotted out by militant cyclists (I don't consider you one of these, BTW!), is a matter of semantics. Most people use the words "road tax" as a generic term for VED - in the same way that people talk about "hoovering" their house even though they're using an Vax, or talk of using "perspex" to repair their greenhouse when referring to acrylic sheet. If someone says they're nipping to the Post Office to get their road tax, we all know what they mean, even though the words are technically incorrect. If, as you say (and I have no reason to doubt it), the taxes raised by motoring are less than the expenditure required to maintain roads, then it's patently obvious that putting the tax revenue into the general pot, before taking it back out again to use on road transport expenditure, is simply accountancy sleight of hand; the entire sum _still_ ends up funding transportation and the roads one way or the other. The point I'm making is that it's a childish argument, one that effectively mocks someone for their incorrect choice of words rather than addressing their position. All your other points are spot on. ...Of course, none of that changes the fact that "Yeah, but cos muh road tax" is an utterly utterly stupid argument! :D
@@cargy930 It's more that drivers are using "road tax" to suggest they own the roads, whereas it's actually a pollution tax. The road fund licence was abolished precisely to try to prevent drivers from claiming they own the roads. Most of all, all of us taxpayers are heavily subsidising drivers, which further destroys the argument that drivers are paying their way, because they are not.
Absolutely nothing wrong with this cyclists road positioning. There is no reason why he should have kept pulling into the side in between the rows of parked cars - to do so would have been more dangerous because he would have kept having to pull back into the centre of the road to go past the parked cars. Also, what exactly did the Audi driver want to achieve? The cyclist was keeping up with the car in front, so even if the Audi driver had gone back the cyclist, he wouldn't have gained anything!
Seems to me there was something wrong with his road positioning when he crossed an unbroken line to sit beside another vehicle in the on-coming lane because ‘“it’s too hot over there”. Could be your road rules are different to ours. I really don’t care, but a guy who spends so much time calling out others who break the rules should obey them all himself - even when it is inconvenient for him. EDIT: I’ve just learned the channel operator isn’t the rider in this case, so this criticism doesn’t apply to him this time.
@@CyclingMikey - that's selective obedience of the laws. "Sorry officer - i was speeding on my motorbike to cool myself down; because it's so hot today".
The California Driver handbook clearly states that cyclists NOT weave in and out of parked cars, but to carry a straight line the entire time. Why? Because inattentive drivers will be "surprised" by a cyclist doing this and then weaving back out around a car ("He came out of NOWHERE, officer!"). And homicidal drivers will just use it as an excuse to nail a cyclist! Plus, it makes sense to hold a consistent line. Anyone who's raced in a peloton knows how important "holding your line" is! It's the law. Something drivers only refer to when it's to their advantage!
I am not a cyclist, nor do I have any particular agenda for or against cyclists. Like everything in this world there are good and not so good. In my opinion, prior to the mini roundabout, I would suggest that the Audi is far to close to the rear of the cyclist. However what I can't understand is why was he continually sounding his horn ? Was it impatience and wanted to get passed the cyclist ? If it was, God knows why because the cyclist was keeping pace with the Toyota Aygo ahead of him, so where was the Audi going to go. IDIOT.
There where lots of opportunities spots to be curteus and to let him pass stop him but to me it seems people don't care about others and being polite oh I'll just hold traffic up why not have some decency pull to the side it takes one minute let the traffic flow why do you need to be in the middle of the road on a bike it's just un polite behavior then have a go at the driver beyond a joke
You were driving at the same speed as the car in front, where the hell does he think he can go? And he’s going over these humps without slowing down for the sole purpose of tailgating you and proving his stupid point. Loved your last sentence. This guy is not only driving dangerously, he is also aggressive and I believe your camera saved you from what could have become an assault. I am still trying to understand what his empty head must have seen as you “taking the p…” on him. What does he expect, that you pull over for every bloody car only because if you weren’t there he’d arrive at the next junction half a second earlier?!
I know I'm late to this, but this is a common occurrence round where I live. Just a few weeks ago I was riding my bike towards an island where there was about 30 cars waiting for the traffic lights to change. I undertook all the cars and got to the island before the lights had changed and was travelling behind a vehicle that wasn't going very fast because of all the traffic in front, then out of nowhere a car decided to overtake me to get between me and the vehicle just Infront of me, which made slam on my brakes. I held my arm out as a gesture to say wtf was that and looked over my shoulder to see if the car behind would register her dangerous driving, but no he decided to do exactly the same thing and cut me off as well. I couldn't believe it. I had to swerve out the way and slam my brakes again to prevent plowing into him and as this happened the traffic had to slow down and come to a stand still. So I just undertook them all again and waved as I passed. Tw4ts
Had an odd feeling seeing the level crossing and it took me until I saw the Old Swan on the left at the end to realise I knew the road - Summer Road in Thames Ditton. Grew up around there but not been down that road for something like 40 years.
the absolute audiot in his full glory!! has absolutely no road sense or any other "intelligent" trade mark.... and, off course, he must "pass the cyclist" at all costs. the cyclist was right to tell him that he should not be driving at all for his poor knowledge of keeping a safe distance from the vehicle in front of him.
as a teen female, this sort of behaviour causes me so much anxiety and really discourages me from cycling. i'm always worried i'm cycling too slowly and cars behind me will react in this exact way
If you are worried, cycle with a camera - try and make it clearly visible. Even that ardest of ‘hard men’ become flacid cowards when they realise their actions will have consequences. Stay safe & remember it’s your right to use the road just as much as anyone else.
@@KazeHorse what's going to stop me stomping your camera into shards of plastic rubbish. cameras are only so good until they fail. then what's your plan call the coppers . they take too long my advice is if you feel unsafe don't ride on the road. if you feel your entitled to in a free country do so at your own risk.. drove a moped for a few years when i was younger and the shit i got .. i stood up to the Kuntz and they tried running me down .. 2nd time they tried was caught in the action by the police.. took his car and stopped him from being on the road for a few years.. but the driver is still the same ... fact is there's a lot of wankers on our roads these days. stay clear. have a plan b.
@@masterkronixster you sound like the type of guys she’s talking about wtf… ‘if you don’t feel safe don’t drive on the road’ no that’s no the solution. People like you need to drive carefully
No. 1 You had every right to take the position you had in the lane. No.2 The driver Beeped first which is why you started to film the car. No.3 Even if there had been a safe place to overtake, the car would be no further down the road because you were clearly keeping up with traffic when he started to become impatient. Pointless. I am a car driver and I completely support the cyclist here. Drivers, please give cyclists space, both from behind and when overtaking and please be patient. Wait for a suitable and safe place to pass.
@@tonyryan1574 Audi first beep is at 1:59, when the cyclist had just moved to the centre of the road in order to pass a number of parked cars and the red Toyota was literally 5m in front of him. What did the driver expect the cyclist to do in those circumstances and why?
@@tonyryan1574 Can you quote the rule for that please? I have read the Highway Code and never read any mention of "Just move over". Rule 72 however says; "Ride in the centre of your lane, to make yourself as clearly visible as possible... in slower moving traffic... at the approach to junctions or road narrowings where it would be unsafe for drivers to overtake you" It mentions specifically when and how to move aside to allow faster moving traffic to pass; "When riding on busy roads, with vehicles moving faster than you, allow them to overtake where it is safe to do so whilst keeping at least 0.5 metres away, and further where it is safer, from the kerb edge." The cyclist was coming out around parked vehicles and approaching a junction and the other vehicles were not moving faster at the time of the first beep. The highway code also tells cars what to do. I won't quote the whole lot as it takes up space and you seem to be an HC expert. But do check Rules 212 and 213 to refresh your memory. The car was clearly in breach of the highway code and the cycle was not.
@@JHJHJHJHJH What is best. A dead cyclist, legally in the right, that would not move over killed by a total ignorant idiot in an Audi or a live cyclist who pulled over and let a self entitled idiot overtake and gain 5 yards? I am a driver in Scotland. We have narrow roads with bends and blind summits. I choose to drive 45 to 50 on them, if a car catches up then I signal left at first operchancity, slow down, and wave him past all this only if it is clear. I am legally entitled to drive at 45 to 50 but why should I cause impatience to create a dangerous situation? Ditto to cyclists, just because you legally can does not mean you should block traffic. Note on this case the cyclist did not block traffic, the driver was C.I.A. and a nutter but tell that to the cyclists widow.
I've not ridden on this road for a while. I once spotted an impact bumper 911 down one of the side streets and another guards red one on the same road. The Mustang is lovely too!
Sheer arrogance from the Audi driver. Cyclist was easily keeping up with the red Toyota. There was no safe place for the Audi to have overtaken imo. Appreciation for this upload to the cammer and, obviously, our host for sharing it with us 👍
The most impressive thing in the whole video, other than the cyclist’s patience, is his flexibility - he can turn around to see the car behind him! At my age, I can get about 45 degrees around. After that, I have to get off the bike, turn around and hope I don’t fall over!!!!
I dunno. As a cyclist, I try to work with the cars. And yeah, some are dicks, but stopping in the middle of the road to confront someone is not dissimilar to honking at someone to let them get past despite the cyclist pretty much staying with the flow. The real issue for me is the roads just aren't built for both, and we all need to calm down a bit. Councils need to look to develope cycleways that are separate from the roads, possibly making some roads "residents only". I'm not perfect. I've been hit (at slow speed) 3 times as cars turned into the cycle lane, and one time I had to consciously stop myself from knocking the cars wing mirror off in anger. But drivers just need to calm down. There was no benefit in getting past in the first place. The red car never got more than 50 meters ahead. That said, the first time you turned your head after the honk, there was a long piece of road with no parked cars where you could have easily pulled over and let them past.
I uploaded a video titled ‘how to overtake a cyclist’ I was driving an audi q5 so please don’t marginalise everyone based on their vehicle...its the same as drivers marginalising cyclists. Its simply not true of everyone and is solely based on the actions of a few idiots.
Don't know what his problem is. The cyclist was going at around the same speed as the Aygo in front. The guy wouldn't of ended up anywhere much further if he even overtook the cyclist
It's an Audi driver - he is desperate to get his badge filling the rear view mirror of the car in front. So needy this lot. I always think they were the type in primary school that used to bounce up and down shouting "ME, Miss! PICK ME! I know!" Not that they ever did know.
People driving mechanically propelled vehicles being a danger to cyclists should be banned from driving until they complete a cycling round London course and then they may understand that cyclists have just as much right to be there with litterally none of the safety of those wrapped up in safe big metal boxes...

@@engineerraw Everyone, even those who don't drive pay for the upkeep of the road network, as its taken from general taxation. So in your eyes general taxation shouldn't pay for the roads anymore, as you know a lot of those people don't drive why should they pay for you! The costs can now squarely land with the drivers and everyone who doesn't drive can then put money towards these other roads you insist on being built rather than the upkeep of roads they don't use, only seems fair! Remember no moaning when the price of driving sky rockets, which it will (yes even more than recently). No moaning about all the road repairs that can't be done as they don't have the funds available! And no moaning about your vehicle being damaged because the roads haven't been repaired. This is really what you want all because you can't share and act responsibly! As a driver I don't!!! It's not as if cyclists even hold traffic up much, the most I have ever been delayed by a rider is 2 mins max! I was held up on the M4 not that long ago for four hours, the cause, other bad drivers! People like you are why we need an IQ test before you can even apply for a licence! Don't understand another person's right to use the road, no driving for you!
His cycling in the middle of his lane is best practice. Your comment tells us by implication you’re also not a good driver because you want the cyclist at the edge of the road. You want your convenience more than you want his safety.
Given that there was no space in front for the audi to overtake into, the cyclist was correctly riding in primary. Where do you think he should have been?
What is it with car drivers. Theyre angry in the hot weather, angry when its raining, they sit in air conditioned, heated cars, protected from the elements, while cyclists and motorcyclists are the ones exposed to the weather who may actually have a right to be annoyed or impatient!
Car drivers like this always want that piece of road that you’re on- they often tailgate or do dodgy overtakes and if their really lucky get home 30 seconds faster than they would have driving considerately.
The cyclist's road positioning was largely very good, close to best practice and is what is taught to children in school. When you begin studying for your driving licence, you'll realise this is good cycling and that you're supposed to change lanes to pass even a single cyclist. You should never try to dangerously squeeze past a cyclist on such a narrow lane as this. You should never get angry because you can't overtake someone. You should never expect cyclists to ride in the gutter or to ride right next to parked cars because of the dangers of the door zone.
We know that some cyclists and vehicles don't get on,but in hindsight I would have just slowed down and let the car pass to avoid any trouble.with people today you've got to be careful!
This just in ...the much coveted Tosspot Driving Cup , long held by BMW drivers , has sensationally been snatched from their grasp by Audi drivers. Many of us have seen this coming for some time.
I’m not sure if you’re aware but car dealers don’t restrict sales to a certain demographic so this ‘BMW drivers’ or ‘Audi drivers’ comment is total nonsense, if the driver is a tossed he’s a tossed full stop, irrelevant of what car he drives

Impatient cyclist on the wrong side of the road at the level crossing. And with plenty of opportunities to be a considerate road user and pull in and let quicker traffic past. Remove the beam in your own eye and all that fella.
This driver doesn't seem to understand the concept of 'cause and effect'. The ONLY reason you turned the camera to point at him.... was because he honked his horn... and then complained that he only honked you because you were filming him!
Tries to intimidate. When told it is on camera, gets back into car with tail between its legs. "I'm not driving up your arse." 2 second rule, which should be known by all drivers. And if it is actually admitting that it is filming the cyclist, then it is using a phone (presumably) behind the wheel...

Wow, it was very nice of this guy to let you post this video on your UA-cam channel Mikey. It shows how other people are effected by terrible drivers. By the way did you spot the red classic Mustang parked on the left at 3.41 in the video? I love Mustangs 👍
This a very good example of why you should cycle in the middle of the lane. If you would have cycled on the gutter this criminal driver might have tried to overtake you with no space risking your position. You have my respect by keeping the cool and being polite! These situations are horribly stressful.
If it was a car the driver would have no problem but because it’s a bicycle that happens to be keeping pace with the car infront then all of a sudden it’s a problem! Kudos to the cyclist for holding his position to be safe and confronting the intimidating impatient driver!
Everything he sows, albeit sowing from an Audi like that, he is going to reap one day. You can't get away with an attitude like that as a driver indefinitely. He is eventually going to face up to terrible consequences on the road... or off it perhaps. I'm glad he got filmed doing that on this occasion because it looks as though he behaves in this inappropriate manner all the time. I say the cyclist did good in standing up against the thugs in this one
Why did the cyclist move to the wrong side of the road waiting for the barrier ? Then when the traffic moved on the cyclist was wrongly positioned. Sometimes its a half and half responsibility of how a situation developed. I cannot see why the cyclist made that deliberate poor position decision at the start which then escalated the ongoing tussle...
The cyclist moves over to get in to the shade, he says so in the video... he then waits for the car he was behind to continue on their journey before pulling back in behind them. It really isn't half and half. The Audi driver is a clear bully.
i have no clue what this guy wanted, absoutely no issue with the cyclists position at any point, keeping away from parked cars, moving the same sort of pace as the cars in front of him, all he did by sounding his horn was cause the cclist to stop to ask hat the issue was. A bit evo lucas asking the school run mum what the danger is. Theres no danger or issue, something in peoples brains sees a bicycle in front of them so want to get ahead of it asap, even if it gets them absolutely nowhere but to the back of the traffic queue or red light. Its an odd idea i dont share but ive seen people overcombed by this must pass idea many a time. What i would hate, is for a motorbike rider in london, to discover this two abreast audi driver, sitting stationary in a line of cars. Go up behind him and beep the horn. Beep it it again and again. Then when he gets out, ask him why he did it to a cyclist in this video? He will say'' he woz in front of me in da middle of da woad''. To which the biker can reply ''you're in my way, in the middle of the entire, centre and left of the road, driving along at zero miles per hour,. The cyclist was moving along at a pace that was no slower than you could otherwise have been going. Dont be a hypocrite when YOU are the slowest moving vehicle out there''. I have never ridden a bike or motorbike on a road at zero mph, but cars seem to enjoy doing this for some reason and are never fined for obstructing traffic, why is this?
@@themitsky or his ego was such that it physcially reached out his chest and stabbed at the horn to let the poor unable to afford a car cyclist that it was impeding his progress.

There are more coming - I'm at the end of 2019 reports now, and will soon be getting 2020 videos up. Justice takes a long time to be served, and the police ask us to wait before releasing the videos.
Such bizarre behaviour. Driving around London is all about getting held up by the traffic - which comprises all the people driving. The Audi driver is a bully as he's picks on the bike rider rather than taking his impatience out on other drivers. Thanks for posting
I certainly don’t. Both in artics and my personal car, I have waited for a safe pass for, on occasions, miles on country roads. I’ve sometimes got me quite the convoy.... **hears classic track**
That's an impressive amount of head swivel. It might be exaggerated by the camera, but I reckon if I tried turning my head 180 degrees for that long I'd fall off.
because when you find out the driver of a vehicle that weighs considerably more then you and yours, for some reason has anger towards you, the last thing you want is for him to be driving behind you. regardless of that, the rider stayed as much to the left as was possible and was keeping up with the traffic in front, so even if he was in the middle of the lane the whole time, where was the Audi driver going to go ? the event highlights how the drivers only concern was to overtake the rider, so blinded by this desire he was unable to realise there was no point in doing so
@@Scouse_Wayne 100% on the money, the cyclist is following the flow of traffic on this narrow slower street. There is no need for the bike to hug the left curb and no need for the car behind to overtake. the overtaking just causes an unecessary danger tothe bike and the bike will overtake every time theres a small bit of traffic or a red light.
Before they had words Mikey was keeping up with the traffic, there was nowhere the Audi could go. If mikey hadn’t cycled defensively I am sure the Audi would have moved up and continue to drive beside Mikey putting him in danger. After they had words the road ahead was clear and Mikey positioned himself to aid the anticipated overtake.
Glad I read the comments, I was so confused as to why Mikey's accent had suddenly changed!
Isn't it strange that he was so concerned about you 'holding him up' yet not only has plenty of time for a nice chat in the middle of the road, but he also didn't care at all for the people behind him.
I was thinking the same thing.
Easiest way to deal with these people. "If I'm holding you up, why have you stopped and gotten out of your car?". I find asking questions to idiots, makes their brains hurt, as they dismantle their own fantasy by answering. Cognitive dissonance is powerful.
The cyclist was keeping up with the speed of the traffic in front so there was absolutely no need for that driver to beep.
Even if he wasn't, there is no reason to beep or tailgate. He needs to wait behind, and overtake only when safe to do so by completely changing lanes.
Absolutely spot on. Even if another road user is slowing your progress in some way doesn't automatically mean they are in the wrong. People need to learn to share the roads.k
@@CyclingMikey Yes, 100% agree!

@@thomasjones928 Well, I think you meant “retards”, but having said that, are you a U.K. driver ? Do you realize that cyclists can take up the whole width of the lane, it’s not just an automobiles territory. Whoever is behind has to wait their turn in a marked area to pass.
They’re always in a rush until they’ve got all day to argue. Could he not see the cars going at the same speed as you? Or the fact that the train added far more time to his trip?
Plonker.
_They’re always in a rush until they’ve got all day to argue._
Bingo! You said it. True for the US as well.
I cycle on this road often and there is really no point in speeding - it’s 20mph max with spots where cars have to give way to oncoming traffic. Just slow down and enjoy the weather.
Does the cyclist not realise the Audi driver owns the road?

Sorry but BMW owns the road. If you open the glove box there is a certificate of ownership for the road. And they put extra loud horns to let us cyclists know we are trespassing on their property
The cyclist was keeping up with the car in front - where exactly did the impatient Audi driver think he was going to go?
What a bellend, but Hey! it is an Audi, but how come its not a white one - they're the worst.

Then has the audacity to shout "PRICK"
Absolute REMs drivers on the wirral.
What gets me is that the cyclist was keeping up with the red car in front up until the Audi driver started honking at him, which distracted the cyclist, causing him to slow down slightly (and then catch back up with the red car). Dude clearly just didn't like the fact that it was a cyclist "holding him up".
Audi inability to think rationally.....whenever I am behind a cyclist keeping up with traffic at 30 MPH + it always makes me smile and think back to the days when I could do so. Sadly those days are gone for me now but I still appreciate cyclists going for the burn. 😃👍
No its just a case of a complete idiot in charge of a car.
I actually find your vlogs very educational, as a van driver I'm more aware of cyclists on the road and ease off the throttle at junctions to anticipate what the cyclists is going to do next giving the cyclists the right of way

You was going the same speed as the Aygo, this shows he began his tantrum just because you’re on a bicycle. They never grow up do they!
No, they don't.
Yes he was going the speed of Aygo.... About 10mph... in a 30 zone...................................................................................
@@thegameeeeeee8666 There going more than 10.... It's a narrow, single lane road in a residential area, in the middle of the day, with parked cars, obstacles and various potential hazards all about... so 30 would be WAY too high...
Regardless its called a "limit" not an "allowance," you are not "allowed" to bomb along at the highest limit, indiscriminately, whenever you want...
Your a nob if one of those who mashes the engine up to highest possible limit "every dammed time" and you only wear the machine components out all the sooner costing you a lot more over the years. You also wont improve your overall commute times in areas like this as you leave yourself less time to read to road and have to break harder/to a full stop for obstacles and junctions a lot more often...
This is why speed limit allocations need updating because too many wouldn't think about it at all and couldn't understand a "limit" is not an "allowance..."
If it was speed "allowances" it would have to be done in 5,10,15,20,25mph ect, for every little stretch outside of motorways and wide main roads... That way the times you would have been able to go "nearer" the "limit" in reasonable conditions, like when the road is clear at a less busy time, you wouldn't be "allowed" anymore because of too many doushbags taking the piss out of the "limit" system for too long and ruining it for everyone. But then they do already, motorways are built for high speeds, residential and urban areas are built for day to day life, driving like a nob just makes life worse for everyone doushbags included themselves.
@@thegameeeeeee8666 so it's the aygos fault?
The speed limit is exactly that not a Target, plus with the speed bumps and cars parked on both sides and the speed limit sign being 20 MPH I would not over take a car on that road so why does he feel the need to pass a bike? The highway code states that “ you should pass a bike, horse or horse drawn vehicle with the same distance as you would a motor vehicle” typical case of “I’ve got to be first” syndrome
Comes out of the car to embarrass himself, not making any sense! Sorry to say but this is a typical Audi driver. What an absolute looser!

Highway Code
112. The horn.
“ Use only while your vehicle is moving and you need to warn other road users of your presence. Never sound your horn aggressively. “
The bit of rule 112 after that is particularly useful;
"You MUST NOT use your horn... except when another road user poses a danger."...
...which the cyclist wasn't posing!
The horn is basically the same as shouting "I'm an extremely impatient and incompetent driver, beware i'm a danger to everyone around me because i'm selfish"
When he got out of his car, I would have said, 'Well, you've got my attention, now what do you want'
An absolute buffoon of a human being, especially when he thought he could intimidate you when he got out of the car. And the exchange showed his stupidity. Well done on standing your ground - he obviously wasn’t expecting it.
The funy thing is that the cyclist wasn't filming the car anyway until he was beeping at him. Well done the cyclist for challenging the car drivers behavior and driving.
The driver clearly paranoid and has a chip on his shoulder.
That is scary ridiculous. I can only imagine he got triggered because the cyclist decided to wait in the shade. His argument is ridiculous too because he's riding his horn before the cyclist films him.
The Audi is also stopped in a Keep Clear at the beginning
And doesn't leave a big enough gap when passing the cyclist.
oh please dont tell
Rule 101 in the Audi version of the My-way Code is: 'cyclists must always stop riding and let you overtake unhindered. If they do not, harass them until they do'.
This is the generally accepted rule every where not just for Audi's, the poor should make way for the rich
Lol
Does he think his special car is going to phase through the ones in front? what a pillock.
Yes, he does.
It's a feature istead of indicators on these cars. Never works...but that never stops them trying.
What is it with cyclists and thinking audis are so special? You do realise this is a base spec 15 plate audi a3. Its nothing special. You wouldn't have made that remark if he was driving something non german. You obviously think his car is special else you wouldn't have even mentioned it.
It's a crap car, not a special one. A VW Golf with a different looking coat on
@@migsy1717 It's the planks driving basic Audi's that think they are special. They can only stretch to the base model, but think the badge on the front gives them some sort of cadre. It's also worth pointing out that the A3 as well as sharing most components with a Golf is also the same as a Skoda Octavia. The more discerning driver would go for a higher spec Golf or Skoda and spend the savings on a really nice bike.
Had to play this a few times to try and understand the driver's logic. I still don't get it. What an intellectual plonker.
There is zero logic, the cyclist is practically keeping pace with the Aygo in front, it’s just a case of an Audiot not liking someone in front of them.
The guy in the car... PAYS INSURANCE, ROAD TAX, he gets to use the road. You cyclist make me lmao. Yes you cyclist go spend £20k on a car then £2k a year on insurance just to do the same speed as a bicycle? No? If he can afford a car he should be able to use the road. If you cant cycle safely in the road (e.g up to speed) maybe you shouldnt be cycling on the road.

@@thegameeeeeee8666 You drive only via revocable licence; your driving is a privilege and not a right. Cyclists, pedestrians and horse riders/carriages all use the public highway by right. Know your place.
You're required by law as a driver to have MOT, VED, insurance, and a licence; cyclists, pedestrians, and horse riders/carriages are not required to have these. None of these payments change the fact that your driving is a privilege and not a right.
There is no road tax - it was abolished in the 1930s to stop entitled drivers from claiming that they own the public highway. You mean VED, a pollution tax. It's obvious why cyclists and pedestrians don't pay that tax.
As a driver you're a freeloader - the sum of motoring taxes in the UK is far less than the sum cost of motoring to society. All drivers are heavily subsidised by non-driving taxpayers.
I have a playlist of drivers disqualified by the courts as a result of cyclist videos here: ua-cam.com/play/PL50HnB_iNgL4VLK1XXwdYkX2kn3Bbjh7B.html
Tens of thousands of cyclists run video cameras and will report bad driving around them. From now on you'll remember this conversation every time you see cyclists on the road, and you'll think about some of us filming you. I suggest you drive properly around us all.
@@CyclingMikey Mikey, for once I'm surprised at you: The "road tax" vs "VED" argument, oft trotted out by militant cyclists (I don't consider you one of these, BTW!), is a matter of semantics. Most people use the words "road tax" as a generic term for VED - in the same way that people talk about "hoovering" their house even though they're using an Vax, or talk of using "perspex" to repair their greenhouse when referring to acrylic sheet. If someone says they're nipping to the Post Office to get their road tax, we all know what they mean, even though the words are technically incorrect.
If, as you say (and I have no reason to doubt it), the taxes raised by motoring are less than the expenditure required to maintain roads, then it's patently obvious that putting the tax revenue into the general pot, before taking it back out again to use on road transport expenditure, is simply accountancy sleight of hand; the entire sum _still_ ends up funding transportation and the roads one way or the other.
The point I'm making is that it's a childish argument, one that effectively mocks someone for their incorrect choice of words rather than addressing their position. All your other points are spot on.
...Of course, none of that changes the fact that "Yeah, but cos muh road tax" is an utterly utterly stupid argument! :D
@@cargy930 It's more that drivers are using "road tax" to suggest they own the roads, whereas it's actually a pollution tax. The road fund licence was abolished precisely to try to prevent drivers from claiming they own the roads. Most of all, all of us taxpayers are heavily subsidising drivers, which further destroys the argument that drivers are paying their way, because they are not.
Absolutely nothing wrong with this cyclists road positioning. There is no reason why he should have kept pulling into the side in between the rows of parked cars - to do so would have been more dangerous because he would have kept having to pull back into the centre of the road to go past the parked cars. Also, what exactly did the Audi driver want to achieve? The cyclist was keeping up with the car in front, so even if the Audi driver had gone back the cyclist, he wouldn't have gained anything!
Seems to me there was something wrong with his road positioning when he crossed an unbroken line to sit beside another vehicle in the on-coming lane because ‘“it’s too hot over there”. Could be your road rules are different to ours.
I really don’t care, but a guy who spends so much time calling out others who break the rules should obey them all himself - even when it is inconvenient for him.
EDIT: I’ve just learned the channel operator isn’t the rider in this case, so this criticism doesn’t apply to him this time.

@@CyclingMikey, exactly. It's not as if he was posing any danger or obstruction to anyone while the booms were down.
The California Driver handbook clearly states that cyclists NOT weave in and out of parked cars, but to carry a straight line the entire time. Why? Because inattentive drivers will be "surprised" by a cyclist doing this and then weaving back out around a car ("He came out of NOWHERE, officer!"). And homicidal drivers will just use it as an excuse to nail a cyclist! Plus, it makes sense to hold a consistent line. Anyone who's raced in a peloton knows how important "holding your line" is!
It's the law. Something drivers only refer to when it's to their advantage!
I am not a cyclist, nor do I have any particular agenda for or against cyclists. Like everything in this world there are good and not so good.
In my opinion, prior to the mini roundabout, I would suggest that the Audi is far to close to the rear of the cyclist.
However what I can't understand is why was he continually sounding his horn ? Was it impatience and wanted to get passed the cyclist ? If it was, God knows why because the cyclist was keeping pace with the Toyota Aygo ahead of him, so where was the Audi going to go.
IDIOT.
Seems like the driver use the cyclist going too slowly as a pretext to start an argument with someone.
There where lots of opportunities spots to be curteus and to let him pass stop him but to me it seems people don't care about others and being polite oh I'll just hold traffic up why not have some decency pull to the side it takes one minute let the traffic flow why do you need to be in the middle of the road on a bike it's just un polite behavior then have a go at the driver beyond a joke
He was probably triggered by the cyclist occupying the middle of the lane, despite not being held up by it.
@@evolvingsunsaudio What if you are the traffic flow?
@@evolvingsunsaudio You obviously understand nothing about using the roads, do you?
Wind your neck in and educate yourself.
You were driving at the same speed as the car in front, where the hell does he think he can go?
And he’s going over these humps without slowing down for the sole purpose of tailgating you and proving his stupid point.
Loved your last sentence.
This guy is not only driving dangerously, he is also aggressive and I believe your camera saved you from what could have become an assault.
I am still trying to understand what his empty head must have seen as you “taking the p…” on him. What does he expect, that you pull over for every bloody car only because if you weren’t there he’d arrive at the next junction half a second earlier?!
No time to wait behind the cyclist, who was keeping up with traffic, but all the time to try and start a confrontation.
I know I'm late to this, but this is a common occurrence round where I live. Just a few weeks ago I was riding my bike towards an island where there was about 30 cars waiting for the traffic lights to change. I undertook all the cars and got to the island before the lights had changed and was travelling behind a vehicle that wasn't going very fast because of all the traffic in front, then out of nowhere a car decided to overtake me to get between me and the vehicle just Infront of me, which made slam on my brakes. I held my arm out as a gesture to say wtf was that and looked over my shoulder to see if the car behind would register her dangerous driving, but no he decided to do exactly the same thing and cut me off as well. I couldn't believe it. I had to swerve out the way and slam my brakes again to prevent plowing into him and as this happened the traffic had to slow down and come to a stand still. So I just undertook them all again and waved as I passed. Tw4ts
Another case of, I must get in front, to arrive at my destination a few seconds earlier.
Had an odd feeling seeing the level crossing and it took me until I saw the Old Swan on the left at the end to realise I knew the road - Summer Road in Thames Ditton. Grew up around there but not been down that road for something like 40 years.

@@tonyryan1574 Can you quote the rule for that please? I have read the Highway Code and never read any mention of "Just move over". Rule 72 however says;
"Ride in the centre of your lane, to make yourself as clearly visible as possible... in slower moving traffic... at the approach to junctions or road narrowings where it would be unsafe for drivers to overtake you"
It mentions specifically when and how to move aside to allow faster moving traffic to pass;
"When riding on busy roads, with vehicles moving faster than you, allow them to overtake where it is safe to do so whilst keeping at least 0.5 metres away, and further where it is safer, from the kerb edge."
The cyclist was coming out around parked vehicles and approaching a junction and the other vehicles were not moving faster at the time of the first beep.
The highway code also tells cars what to do. I won't quote the whole lot as it takes up space and you seem to be an HC expert. But do check Rules 212 and 213 to refresh your memory.

The driver is only going to get stuck about 200 meters down the road with all the cars parked on one side, as you join to go to Kingston.
I dunno. As a cyclist, I try to work with the cars. And yeah, some are dicks, but stopping in the middle of the road to confront someone is not dissimilar to honking at someone to let them get past despite the cyclist pretty much staying with the flow.
The real issue for me is the roads just aren't built for both, and we all need to calm down a bit.
Councils need to look to develope cycleways that are separate from the roads, possibly making some roads "residents only".
I'm not perfect. I've been hit (at slow speed) 3 times as cars turned into the cycle lane, and one time I had to consciously stop myself from knocking the cars wing mirror off in anger.
But drivers just need to calm down. There was no benefit in getting past in the first place. The red car never got more than 50 meters ahead.
That said, the first time you turned your head after the honk, there was a long piece of road with no parked cars where you could have easily pulled over and let them past.

Riding the bike on the wrong side of the road, crossing solid double white lines hmmm. Guess the rules of the road don't apply on two wheels.
What is it with car drivers. Theyre angry in the hot weather, angry when its raining, they sit in air conditioned, heated cars, protected from the elements, while cyclists and motorcyclists are the ones exposed to the weather who may actually have a right to be annoyed or impatient!
Being a Cyclist, you probably didn't see road markings of keep clear x 2.
Car drivers like this always want that piece of road that you’re on- they often tailgate or do dodgy overtakes and if their really lucky get home 30 seconds faster than they would have driving considerately.
With the cyclist's road position, it seems he was looking to provoke someone.
The cyclist's road positioning was largely very good, close to best practice and is what is taught to children in school. When you begin studying for your driving licence, you'll realise this is good cycling and that you're supposed to change lanes to pass even a single cyclist. You should never try to dangerously squeeze past a cyclist on such a narrow lane as this. You should never get angry because you can't overtake someone. You should never expect cyclists to ride in the gutter or to ride right next to parked cars because of the dangers of the door zone.
Wanker and a bully. Good for you to standing up to such a person. 👍👍
We know that some cyclists and vehicles don't get on,but in hindsight I would have just slowed down and let the car pass to avoid any trouble.with people today you've got to be careful!
This just in ...the much coveted Tosspot Driving Cup , long held by BMW drivers , has sensationally been snatched from their grasp by Audi drivers. Many of us have seen this coming for some time.
I’m not sure if you’re aware but car dealers don’t restrict sales to a certain demographic so this ‘BMW drivers’ or ‘Audi drivers’ comment is total nonsense, if the driver is a tossed he’s a tossed full stop, irrelevant of what car he drives
@@MrBigtaf There is some truth to the stereotype: Drivers of luxury cars are 3-4 times more likely to break the law. See ua-cam.com/video/IuqGrz-Y_Lc/v-deo.html
@@CyclingMikey that will be more down to their upbringing and self entitlement rather than the car they drive though! I own an Audi and both me and my fiancée both work really hard to buy nice things including our car, we are by no means wealthy, I’m just not a fan of ‘labelling’ or ‘tar brushing’ I’m not a great fan of cyclists as a general rule but if they cycle considerately and actually share the road then I’m more than happy to accommodate but I’m sure you wouldn’t appreciate being labelled with all the a-hole cyclists which there are countless!
I thought the Audi driver was going to "brake check " the cyclist for a moment after his overtake to add injury to insult!
Well he's a special kind of ignorant.
Impatient cyclist on the wrong side of the road at the level crossing. And with plenty of opportunities to be a considerate road user and pull in and let quicker traffic past.
Remove the beam in your own eye and all that fella.
This driver doesn't seem to understand the concept of 'cause and effect'.
The ONLY reason you turned the camera to point at him.... was because he honked his horn... and then complained that he only honked you because you were filming him!
The cyclist was trying to make a point to the motorist. Just let him past.
Tries to intimidate. When told it is on camera, gets back into car with tail between its legs.
"I'm not driving up your arse." 2 second rule, which should be known by all drivers.
And if it is actually admitting that it is filming the cyclist, then it is using a phone (presumably) behind the wheel...
Happy to sit in stationery traffic but not behind a moving cyclist.

We all need patience as every one (runners, cyclists, horses, cars etc) deserves the right to be on the road
So stopping traffic in the middle of the roadway to have an argument is safe? Hmm...interesting. I didnt realize you were a stop sign.
Wow, it was very nice of this guy to let you post this video on your UA-cam channel Mikey. It shows how other people are effected by terrible drivers. By the way did you spot the red classic Mustang parked on the left at 3.41 in the video? I love Mustangs 👍
Nice spot! Love that
*audiot* 😂 I’m calling them like that from now on lol
Where do I submit videos and reports? Caught a few idiots almost hit pedestrians in zebra crossings
Forget the driving,what was he thinking when he got dressed!😂
He's driving an Audi ..... What do you expect !!!!!
What were you thinking, riding your bicycle on the road?!?!? 😁
Pure selfish, unbelievable. He should have got off, and waved the Audi through while saluting his superior human. 😂
@@JamesandRibble 😂😂😂
I don't even know why he's honking. He wants to be 4m further ahead than he is?
This a very good example of why you should cycle in the middle of the lane. If you would have cycled on the gutter this criminal driver might have tried to overtake you with no space risking your position.
You have my respect by keeping the cool and being polite!
These situations are horribly stressful.
Lowered his tone real quick.
Audi = 5 zero's.... 4 on the grille.. one behind the wheel....
If it was a car the driver would have no problem but because it’s a bicycle that happens to be keeping pace with the car infront then all of a sudden it’s a problem! Kudos to the cyclist for holding his position to be safe and confronting the intimidating impatient driver!
He’d still have a problem with a car the idiot
Mate you're on the wrong side of the road before the train crossing. Go back! 😂 Joking lol
"you obviously want to talk to me so how can i help you?" hahaha
Everything he sows, albeit sowing from an Audi like that, he is going to reap one day. You can't get away with an attitude like that as a driver indefinitely. He is eventually going to face up to terrible consequences on the road... or off it perhaps. I'm glad he got filmed doing that on this occasion because it looks as though he behaves in this inappropriate manner all the time. I say the cyclist did good in standing up against the thugs in this one
Why did the cyclist move to the wrong side of the road waiting for the barrier ? Then when the traffic moved on the cyclist was wrongly positioned. Sometimes its a half and half responsibility of how a situation developed. I cannot see why the cyclist made that deliberate poor position decision at the start which then escalated the ongoing tussle...
The cyclist moves over to get in to the shade, he says so in the video... he then waits for the car he was behind to continue on their journey before pulling back in behind them. It really isn't half and half. The Audi driver is a clear bully.
Soon as driver got out the cyclist lost all the bass in his voice 😂
i have no clue what this guy wanted, absoutely no issue with the cyclists position at any point, keeping away from parked cars, moving the same sort of pace as the cars in front of him, all he did by sounding his horn was cause the cclist to stop to ask hat the issue was. A bit evo lucas asking the school run mum what the danger is. Theres no danger or issue, something in peoples brains sees a bicycle in front of them so want to get ahead of it asap, even if it gets them absolutely nowhere but to the back of the traffic queue or red light. Its an odd idea i dont share but ive seen people overcombed by this must pass idea many a time. What i would hate, is for a motorbike rider in london, to discover this two abreast audi driver, sitting stationary in a line of cars. Go up behind him and beep the horn. Beep it it again and again. Then when he gets out, ask him why he did it to a cyclist in this video? He will say'' he woz in front of me in da middle of da woad''. To which the biker can reply ''you're in my way, in the middle of the entire, centre and left of the road, driving along at zero miles per hour,. The cyclist was moving along at a pace that was no slower than you could otherwise have been going. Dont be a hypocrite when YOU are the slowest moving vehicle out there''. I have never ridden a bike or motorbike on a road at zero mph, but cars seem to enjoy doing this for some reason and are never fined for obstructing traffic, why is this?
Maybe the driver was using the horn to indicate that it was the driver ITSELF that was the danger? :D
@@themitsky or his ego was such that it physcially reached out his chest and stabbed at the horn to let the poor unable to afford a car cyclist that it was impeding his progress.
Ah Summer. I miss you so much!
This guy seems like he tries to give the title Audiot another definition. I'm varying between "Intelligence allergic person" and "failed experiment".
A test tube baby created by german scientists in the war. Sociopathic and devoid of empathy
That was a nice Mustang. Not sure I'd leave it on that narrow busy road though.
Mikey usually: "Oh here comes another one, tut tut, very naughty driving."
Mikey in this one: "OI OI MATE, BACK OFF YEAH, I AIN'T TAKIN' THE PISS. SHUT IIIT."
That'll be because it's not Mikey cycling in this video. :)

Great to finally see some 2020 recordings
There are more coming - I'm at the end of 2019 reports now, and will soon be getting 2020 videos up. Justice takes a long time to be served, and the police ask us to wait before releasing the videos.
We should be able to call 2020 - 2021 The SECOND Dark ages.
Such bizarre behaviour. Driving around London is all about getting held up by the traffic - which comprises all the people driving.
The Audi driver is a bully as he's picks on the bike rider rather than taking his impatience out on other drivers.
Thanks for posting
It's not hard. Wait for a safe place to pass and pass. Some people seem to struggle with that sometimes. 🤷♂️
I certainly don’t. Both in artics and my personal car, I have waited for a safe pass for, on occasions, miles on country roads. I’ve sometimes got me quite the convoy....
**hears classic track**
Rubber duck! And excellent attitude and patience you have btw. I am the same.
That's an impressive amount of head swivel. It might be exaggerated by the camera, but I reckon if I tried turning my head 180 degrees for that long I'd fall off.
With every beep his head swivelled like the exorcist lol
Was strange as soon as you both had words, when you carried on afterwards you cycled more to the pavement than in the middle off the road.
because when you find out the driver of a vehicle that weighs considerably more then you and yours, for some reason has anger towards you, the last thing you want is for him to be driving behind you. regardless of that, the rider stayed as much to the left as was possible and was keeping up with the traffic in front, so even if he was in the middle of the lane the whole time, where was the Audi driver going to go ?
the event highlights how the drivers only concern was to overtake the rider, so blinded by this desire he was unable to realise there was no point in doing so
@@Scouse_Wayne 100% on the money, the cyclist is following the flow of traffic on this narrow slower street. There is no need for the bike to hug the left curb and no need for the car behind to overtake. the overtaking just causes an unecessary danger tothe bike and the bike will overtake every time theres a small bit of traffic or a red light.
Before they had words Mikey was keeping up with the traffic, there was nowhere the Audi could go. If mikey hadn’t cycled defensively I am sure the Audi would have moved up and continue to drive beside Mikey putting him in danger. After they had words the road ahead was clear and Mikey positioned himself to aid the anticipated overtake.
