Video title is fair. The cyclist was going quite a lot faster than the car at the time of the collision.

Car driver was in the wrong yes, but the cyclist moreso. He put himself in a position where he was always going to lose if anyone else made a tiny mistake. No lights in the rain, too fast in traffic, and hands nowhere near the brakes.

In heavy traffic, it is your responsibility to reduce your speed appropriately to be able to react in time. The car drivers movement was deliberate and IMO to be expected for an area with parking and a gap in traffic, but certainly faster than they should have been in that situation.

It is impossible for the car driver too see to the left and right of the bonnet without a camera system, and this needs to be accounted for by others road users.

But what your saying is that the crossing car is by definition at fault, which is ridiculous. Am I at fault if a motorbike hits me at 200kph when I pull out of a side road? Obviously not.

As a driver, I'm not entitled to drive too fast for the conditions and smash the nose of any car that is pulling out from between other cars in traffic and edges centimetre by centimetre into my lane.

Rather than dismiss a key point that you don't want to discuss as nonsense, please explain why. Hands on the drop bars in traffic like that is beyond stupid - no arguing that one.

It's the equivalent of using cruise control in traffic outside a school, planting your two feet flat on the floor of the car, and denying all responsibility when a child runs in front of the car.

The cyclist doesn't brake whatsoever as far as I can see. Just because he can fit to the left of cars, does not mean that he can go at 50kph, ignore the environment and claim "right of way".

Wouldn't get anywhere except the doors being locked and Gards being called.

Now you're just completely making up things that I haven't said to suit your point.

Anyway, I would actually apportion some blame to the BMW driver. If you're going to let someone go, you should be checking your left hand mirror for cyclists.

Utter utter nonsense

"If you're going to let someone go, you should be checking your left hand mirror for cyclists"

Actually yes

If there was a collision between the car turning and the cyclist the car would be fully liable

Thanks.

I guess we went too far off topic and posts deleted. Fair enough. Car in your clip was wrong for sure. Good job stopping.

Anyway, here's one from me. Normally the right lane (M50 Northbound) is busiest. Cars come up the middle lane and barge in to skip the queue - but then block the middle lane also.

I know, I was staring at her, she then started shouting, 'what are you staring at, learn to drive'

Somebody should tell the van driver to get his left light cluster fixed. Do commercial drivers never do walkaround checks any more?

It's been a while since I've come across anything worthwhile to post, but had this today.

My first dashcam post.
I was given a low-quality entry level dashcam as a Christmas present. After today I may invest in a better model.

Two incidents.

My videos from today. Looks like running a red light is now the norm :rolleyes:

Genuine heart in mouth moment earlier.

Saw him edging on the road and thankfully slowed a bit before slamming the brakes.
Camera always looks less scary than it is, but I thought I was gonna be in the back of him for sure.

I (perhaps stupidly) got out to talk to him at next junction.
Old man in his 80s. Said he never saw me and said sorry.
I'd a young kid in the back.

Really can't take your eyes off the road for a second.

Did you have your headlights on? Just curious as to how he wouldn't see you, but maybe it's his eyesight if he's in his 80s!

People can't see if they don't look properly. Something motorcyclists and cyclists deal with a lot. I often see people driving along and an emergency services vehicle has the blues on and trying to clear the junction.

Don't know if this was posted before but a good example.
