I wonder if the distraction that was added to by the cyclist had caused the death of a crossing pedestrian who would feel guilty in that situation ?

I feel for the third party diver who was hit because BOTH the cyclist and the cock driver were engaged in an activity that CAUSED the damage to him..... he should flatten BOTH of the tts.

\The original "fault" was the van for sure, the cyclist then engaged with the driver of the van and WAS part of the cause of the accident.

The cyclist caused the accident. Can't see that the white van man did anything wrong, other than being distracted by a prick on a bike shouting at him!
If you can't drive a car without ignoring distractions then you shouldn't be driving

The bit in bold is what the van driver did wrong.

Some bizarre supermarket car park rage at the start

The rest is just him getting overly angry about not very much
As well as being an obnoxious little urethra, I assume he's including himself in the "Another compilation of bad drivers/road users in the UK" tagline as he's not exactly perfect driver himself.

"What you doing in the middle of the f ing road" @ 0:29 to a car just passed parked cars, whilst himself in the middle of the road passing parked cars (without slowing)

Should have slowed right down due to limited visibility @ 1:25

overtaking cyclist doing over 10mph crossing unbroken central line @1:50

continues driving towards car on the wrong side of the road @ 4:04 to teach them a lesson by forcing them to reverse

I can't see that the white van man did anything wrong, other than not stopping in time before hitting the car in front, after pointlessly and aggressively cutting up the cyclist.

Are you really saying that distracting a driver is OK and requires no critical comment/is not a factor however "correct" he felt he was ?

No, he really didn't. The van driver is 100% responsible for not looking where he was going - cyclist man wasn't even shouting at him when he bumped the Mondeo, he was just looking over his shoulder at him. Tell you what, if you ever rear-end someone whilst driving, try out the "that bloke looked at me so I stopped looking where I was going" defence and see how far it gets you...

A good example of why one should not engage at all with any kind of ranting cam-man. They are all nutters.

The van driver was looking directly through his nearside window hurling profanities at a cyclist when he ran smack into the car in front.

Hearing his mrs speak like that too is truly disgusting. The pair of them are disgusting pigs.

We know that don't we because we are not blind, thanks for pointing out the bleeding obvious

....the cyclist was however involved with the van driver and was the one who was first to engage , or are you going to try and argue that as well ?

Between the both of them the third party suffered even if the Van driver should of kept his window shut.

I agree with that, but I didn't see anything deserving of comment from the cyclist. Had the cyclist not been ranting (justifiably or not) there would not have been a rear-ender.

Yes, the van driver should have noticed the car in front of him stopping, but that happened only because of the distraction caused by the idiot with the camera. I didn't see any cutting up going on whatsoever, so I don't accept that part of your argument.

(a) Yes
(b) Yes

My point is the situation involved both the cyclist (first to engage) and the driver (at fault) for whatever reason with the result being the 3rd party suffered.

Are you saying the cyclist did not start the verbal engagement ?
It is the unnecessary communication between the two of them that was the "cause" that impacted on a 3rd party.

However wrong the driver of the van is for allowing himself to be distracted by the cyclists interaction with him (totally) there is no question that the cyclist was part of the factors to the shunt by being the one to start the interaction.
IF he had not decided to interact with the driver there is good reason to think the driver would not of been distracted and thus would not of rear ended the 3rd party.

The Cyclist should not of started it and the van should not of continued it.....

should HAVE

it's a fair point actually
If I can be done for death by dangerous for 'encouraging' someone else to race me, then they crash, then surely the 'distracter' shares some blame for the offence of the 'distractee' in this case too?

There has been a wholesale rise in accident statistics since the unlicenced sale of dash/head cams

Yup.

When I get in my car, it is not fking ninety percent my responsibility to look where I'm going.

It is not ninety-nine percent my responsibility.

It is one hundred percent my responsibility.

If Jesus himself descends from heaven and tells me I should listen to the sugar babes a bit more, it wouldn't be his fault at all if I rear-ended the car in front. It would be mine.

Stop ignoring that basic responsibility. Yes, you are ignoring it.
