I only held my rd because I had read the rd as I approached you, I certainly did NOT expect you to continue holding your rd as I passed(not far from your pedal)yet you had ample space to tip in even 12" to the exit of estate as I passed, but yet you let me pass you at considerable speed bearing in mind I had an oncoming car leaving me with sfa clearance and I still had to contend with you 'holding your rd' and not taking advantage of the HUGE clearance to your left!?


PS:Please ignore rear view date and time

I'd be the last to defend cyclists but you are 100% in the wrong there and i imagine you put the heart sideways in the guy on the bike.

It's not his responsibility to check behind him everytime he sees an oncoming car, it's not his responsibility to move into the entrance to the estate (or any entrance) to give other traffic more room, in fact that would be dangerous as there is no garuantee every cyclist would move in or that they could get back out again.

It's your responsibility to slow and yeild to the oncoming traffic.

Exactly this. That was a close and irresponsible pass.

A load of stuff to pass a few minutes. You'd wonder in some of the clips if people had just discovered driving and thought "feck it, I'll give it a go,sure what can go wrong".

Two questions:

1. How many tokens did you have to save up to send away for your license?
2. You are aware it’s not a ‘real’ license, right?

Good enough for the biker in my opinion. Clown

Those daft 'Harley style' handlebars. Useless imo for controlling a bike.

Harleys have loads of different styles. Those are ‘ape hangers’.

Nothing to do with being in the bus lane. Shouldn't be weaving through the traffic like that

The most remarkable thing about that biker/bus video is that the woman who got out her phone was using it to phone someone useful rather than start taking useless videos for later!

I just felt it was such a stupid comment I didn't entertain it.

I would never wish that on anyone but as this has already happened it may make him think twice before trying to complete such a stupid maneuver in future.

Some people just need to learn the hard way

That's funny, until you come to the realisation that many people today would have done just that


I tried making my own dash cam vid a few weeks back. Suffice to say, video editting and me go about as well together as foxes and chickens.

If I ever had the misfortune of having to drive in Russia I would be renting a tank!

Such a bizarre post, its like he thinks the cyclist has eyes in the back of his head and some kind of mind reading abilities towards other road users intentions. Who actually thinks like this? And then the mod goes and deletes all the posts telling him how dangerous his driving is?

Seems to be a race with her and the bloke behind to see who can call an ambulance first...On a more serious note though, is that a Focus following the Lexus?

Are these people just blind, stupid, bit of both or live in a different reality to the rest of us??
