Are are you the nutjob? Is it a uk thing now with the camera on helmet or is it a serious concern???

    In the last few weeks Ive found its drivers of a certain age in small little cars who like to get a bit too close that youd think they like you in their passenger seat

    Been cycling to work about 2-3 years and I often comment how polite drivers are.


    I've had one person in a black Porsche 4WD overtake me beeping on a very narrow road on a dark wet night as I was too far out in the lane.

    Other than that, want to put it out there that the majority are great.

    Just remember how much boring and uneventful footage people take before they get an incident that is worthy of putting on youtube.


    Cycling for the most part is safe and the vast majority of motorists are reasonable.

    A good few of the videos on you tube are from the same people. Once they have a camera strapped to their head they tend to get in more arguments. It's the whole look at me I'm inportant because I'm on the Internet syndrome.

    MOD VOICE: Unless someone has a new and insightful post to make, this has been done to death on the forum. If there is a specific incident, please PM and I will reopen the thread for that.
