I've found it takes a bit of time for people to get used to them being there. This used to happen to me on the two-way lane on Deasnsgate in Manchester, but this has basically stopped happening since it has been in place for a couple of years now. I'm only excusing peds though, the driving behaviour is always unacceptable.
Under the new Highwaycode pedestrians have priority when it is safe for other road user to give it. So cyclists should give way where possible. Cyclists expect cars to give way, cyclists should also follow the rule.
@@makecyclingsafeagain6575awwww, you poor poor girl, big ol meany weenie driver cut you off, THE HORROR!!! You Karens and your sensitive vaginas, you’re weak, and a rat. Pu#%y cyclists.
@@colcvelo In England we drive on the left side of the road. Would normally expect to see cyclists on that side of the road when you over take them. Never seen a road layout like this before.
The driver did no wrong the cyclist did. He passed a solid u broken white line when the car was ahead and indicating to turn right. All the cyclist had to do was slow down to allow the car ahead to turn. You can’t just ride into something that is ahead of you without accepting blame. If you drove a car you would understand the concept of defensive driving. Oh and of course anyone with half a brain wouldn’t take in a car on a bike because only one person is going to get hurt in an accident. Self preservation should always come first!
The junction is a little bit confusing with a lot crammed into a small space (welcome to the UK's poor infra where they cram everything into a tiny area, as unbundling is often not feasible), but that stop line in the cycle lane is only applicable on a red light. That's why the offence was found. However, the cycling is pretty poor as the cyclist had a decade to predict the outcome - the car was signalling in good time - and allow the turn, merely by reducing speed a tad. It could have been challenged in court on this basis, but the outcome would still very likely be the offence is found, so from the driver's perspective it's easier to just take the slap on the wrists and trivial cost of a course, and take it as some useful learning.
at 28s the vehicle was already level with you and started indicating to turn. Your response was to stay in their blind spot and then when they started turning ahead you didn't slow down. Clearly the vehicle should have held back and not overtaken you but YOU MADE THE PROBLEM WORSE by your actions. This is giving cyclists a bad name and putting yourself in un-neccessary danger. Do you feel you are ENTITLED to behave like this?
I disagree as do Essex Police, take it up with them. The driver was at fault, only I took action to avoid a collision. You're giving drivers a bad name and sound entitled.
This argument wouldn't fly if we were talking about two cars hence it really shouldn't fly when we're talking about a car and a bike. They cut across him plain and simple.
@@makecyclingsafeagain6575 I suggest you read my comment more carefully. I wasn't saying you were to blame for the car turning ahead of you but I did suggest you made problem worse. I drive around 800 miles a week and I regularly cycle on the roads. I have to give way to idiots like this on a regular basis in order to reduce the risk of a collision
@@insightphoto I did not make the problem worse, I came to a controlled stop to avoid a collision. The driver did absolutely nothing themselves. I drive and cycle without causing other road users such danger.
You did make it worse: you could see a potential problem developing, but you stayed in the blind spot and did nothing to correct that or adjust your speed. Roads are shared and people make mistakes. Try to be more tolerant and less judgemental. @@makecyclingsafeagain6575
Nice to see the new utterly awful cycle lane being used. On my short blast up there 3 people just walked out in front of me.
Works well for me - I hated having to mix with cars, vans, buses and HGVs. Being bidirectional is good.

Maybe you should walk untill you get some brakes for that bike.
Drivers are getting worse, don't they realise we don't stand a chance....
Stop putting yourself in dangerous situations.
What sensible cycle lanes, What crap drivers
A cycle lane so well made, as to be the best in the land & still the driver fails to give way !
Cyclist dont pay road tax so its ok to ignore them.
Terrible- did you report it to the police?
Yes, the driver received a course or conditional offer. This is a driver awareness course at their own cost or points/fine.
@@makecyclingsafeagain6575 good - I think a driver awareness course is a good outcome

Cycle lane should be on the left side of the road. Probably designed by someone who has never ridden a bike.
Why would it be on the left hand side of the road when that is full of bus stops?

They are very common across the UK in towns and cities.
@@mrstanhope1516 There are a few similar to this in Nottingham. I think they make more sense. Make the roads safer for everyone.
You could enforce your right of way so much until it hurts. Your vulnerability is YOUR issue and no one else's.
Does your bike even have brakes ?

Essex Police disagree entirely. Only the driver received any sanction. You need to reconsider your ill-informed opinions.

What is this crap. Where is the right hook.
The mong driving the oversized white SUV turned across the cycle lane instead of giving way as required to by law.
