    I dunno... I was turning left earlier... indicating left and actually in the process of turning... actually MID-turn... when a cyclist, trying to overtake me on the left, went right into the side of my passenger door/mirror. I was driving a car, not a truck...

    In fairness to the cyclist, he did acknowledge that the mistake was his. After I shouted at him.

    The moral of the story is that people and motor vehicles are somtimes a bad mix

    No, the moral of the story is pay attention and don't try to pass a vehicle on the left which is obviously turning left.

    Derek Mooney is onto something - if all road users waved at each other (including cyclists) then they'd all see each other and nobody would get killed.

    Unusual story all the same.

    Never heard of so many cyclists using a road. Footpaths must be cordoned off up on the Quays.

    If you had been driving a truck he probably wouldn't have been able to apologise.

    What kind of moron tries to overtake a car when its in the process of turning?

    Oh you'd be surprised just how many such idiots are cycling around our streets... and just how many of them would plead innocence in situations like this. I was just glad in this case that this eejit accepted that it was his own stupid fault.

    Me too. It was heart-rending listening to his account; as were the programming a few months ago dealing with Priory Hall and all the reports of shoddy building from around the country - using fairy liquid instead of PVA and cement bags plugging ducts etc etc.

    Today's caller was so right when he said that the civil servants are supposed to be looking out for the public not assisting developers.
