The crusade against the motorist continues...

Has to be one of the worst "Cycle Lanes" I've seen.. crossing multiple driveways, side roads, uneven surfaces, glass and stones in it, cars parked in it.. And you're moaning about 1 pedal bicyclist who nipped out onto the road, maybe to get around a parked car?

The point is not about what I want, or whether or not motorists are inconvenienced by the cyclist's choice.

The point is the level of hypocrisy and double standards in them making that choice, i.e. "I want motorists to slow down and take extra care when sharing a space with cyclists. But as a cyclist, I'm not prepared to slow down and take extra care to share a space with pedestrians. If given a choice, I'll choose the other option."

So compromise & stop telling others to compromise for your benefit.

Cyclists speeding too slowly.

@AndrewJRenko the Gardai have asked for that footage not to be shared.

I get the feeling that people talking about cars being painted with fluorescent paint have never actually been to Ireland, at least not in the last decade or so. In this country, it's very commonplace for cars to be illuminated during the daytime, usually with either DRLs or low-beam headlights. I just took a drive today during the daytime and found that virtually all of the cars I encountered were well lit up even though it was daylight. Including my own BTW as I began driving my car(s) with low beams on in the daytime about a decade ago when I observed it being so commonplace.

Meanwhile cyclists, just have a little light at the most, and often not even that. As it happens I saw two cyclists on my drive today, and because both were wearing hi-vis I observed them the instant they came into my field of view, even though neither were in my lane and one was on a different road, and one had no lights whatsoever so would otherwise have blended into the background.

Correct. The people who make these disingenuous claims want you to forget two things:

1. "Drivers" are not a collective hive-mind. There are about 3.3 million "drivers" in Ireland according to the CSO and we do not co-ordinate who we're going to collectively "kill" this week/year/whatever.
2. Many of the pedestrians who die on our roads do so as the result of their own actions and/or negligence. According to the best numbers we have, 70% of pedestrians who lose their lives on the roads were solely culpable for the collisions they caused. That number is disputed but it cannot be denied that the proportion is significant.

If, for example, a pedestrian kills themselves due to their own negligence, it would be extremely disingenuous to blame even the driver involved, let alone all 3.3 million "drivers" writ-large. Yet that's what those fond of making broad-brush statements like "drivers kill (whatever)" seem to be trying to do.

The same dash cam would have proved you had seen the other human being and not done anything to avoid them colliding with a ton more of metal.

Fault, as in right of way does not mean you don't have an obligation to avoid hitting people. Driving 101.
