They did not think differently at all.
Whether the rider had enough time to stop or not (he did) is secondary to the fact that the car driver turned across his path so was majority to blame for the collision, therefore it was correct that he was punished.

Yep, both as bad. Car shouldn't have turned until the bike was past, but the bike rider could clearly see what was unfolding across his path from 100 yards away as the car started the turn, but rather than dabbing his brakes a few mm and turning to the right to go round the back of it, he choose to make a massive scene by deliberately riding into the side of it . The irony of the black woman saying that the cyclist should look where he's going was pretty funny though, especially as she was actually serious .

lol you read some interesting stuff on PH but this takes the biscuit.

No cyclist is going to ride into a car like that and risk breaking their neck (and more importantly their bike) to make a point.

There are a few possibilities, perhaps he either wasn't paying attention or panicked getting his hands back onto the brakes.

Or what I think actually happened, the cyclist thought the car would continue at the speed it was going and therefore be out of his way by the time he got there, as opposed to it almost stopping right in his path. By the time he realised what happened, it was too late.

But people do do that to prove that they are in the ‘right’. Many many videos in this very thread of easily avoidable collisions but the people just pile into each other anyway because ‘they’re right’.

Porsche is still to blame though.

Should have been made to take his driving test again too...along with the lovely passenger lady, assuming she has one of course

The only female protagonist in the clip and you're calling out her colour.

What year is it again.

I find it's best to totally ignore anything r3g posts on this forum. Most other people do too.

Not great from the driver, but the cyclist should give up if that's his reaction time to hazards.

Yes, there was plenty of time to stop. If you watch the rider's hands, they are riding in traffic with their hands on the top of the bars. They only move them to the brakes at the last minute.

If you are going to ride a drop-bar bike in busy traffic then you cannot ride with your hands like that, it's stupid.

It's possible for one person to be criminally liable but the other person to be partially at fault. For example if the cyclist sued the driver for injuries and that video was shown, the judge would probably peer at it closely and then halve the damages.

That sort of thing does happen quite often while cycling and I often ease op and coast when a car pulls in front of me anticipating that it will clear BUT I would have covered my brakes so that I can stop if necessary. Riding with your hands on the tops of the bars like that is just crazy. Quite possibly the bike is just too big for them and they can't stretch to use the hoods.

Speaking of Cycling Mikey, someone gets quite unhappy with him here...



Zip it forward. Cabbie protests, until he runs out of ideas.

Worth it for the clip at 7.15.

love it lorry driver in the wrong then like a tt gets out only to find another well hard PH director type who then gives him a slap

Oh yes the 7.15 and 7.34, and the lorry driver was a cracker

Peugeot guy an obvious yob, yes lorry pulled out but Peugeot going way over the limit then gets arsey because he failed to anticipate the truck, has to brake and is delayed for 2 seconds. A bit of anticipation would've avoided the whole thing but I must admit I did want to see the lorry driver slap back rather than just taking his beating lol.

I'm surprised that no-one mentioned the verbal berating by the wife

He’s literally just riding round in circles up and down the cars to try and catch people in stand still traffic, not justifying the phone use but he’s a top class moron, can’t believe he hasn’t already been lamped and had his camera taken.

The well hard PBCD who pushes the lorry driver in the back while he's walking away? The lorry driver who he could well see what he was doing but rather than be patient for literally a second or two gets honky - that said, the lorry driver shouldn't be out of his cab, even if he encounters one of these.

Would that be the lorry driver who got out and sauntered over to remonstrate, then decided to skulk back to his cab after he realised he'd bitten off more than he could chew? Classic bully tactics, hopefully it will teach him some humility. Unless you can hear him saying "sorry mate, I should have waited for a bigger gap" on your device.

The Pug driver was being a knob speeding in to that situation, but the lorry driver should have shrugged it off instead of escalating it to a face-to-face confrontation... A confrontation that made us all realise that he's a big wet pansy.

Hopefully I won't meet any of those types while I am out on my motorcycle.

Driver a knob, lorry driver a knob. Driver impatient, driver shouldn't have got out. Can I clarify whether we are attempting to agree or disagree before I skulk off to another thread when I realise what I've bitten off?

Nobody should ever resort to violence, perhaps that's where we finally disagree - not even when they find the approbation of others when they 'teach a pansy a lesson'

Cabbie deserved everything he got there.

I think Mikey should just ride away as soon as he has evidence, I find it very cringeworthy when he starts chatting.

cheeky bit of offroading

I was betting on him turning that over. What possesses people?

What a bloody pillock!

Deliberate undertake, or suddenly finds a nearly stationary car in front of him because he/she wasn't paying attention? I was nearly rear ended by one last year who was definitely gawping at something on the opposite verge.

[mko9]

Outside of all the other dumbassery of that maneuver there is no telling what kind of pot holes, tree stumps, or chunks of concrete may be hidden in the long grass of that shoulder. Taking it at a relatively high rate of speed was crazy.

Maybe, but surely instinct would say you're hard on the brakes and anchor up when you had to take to the verge? Least mine would be to do that.
