Clearly the cyclist is at fault...

Drivers fault 100%.

Fail for cyclist, ZERO reflective gear, (lights don't work well in daylight), then at .40 is cycling around a blind corner in the middle of the road.

Additional fail for leaning into the van and not making contact

Car dawdles but clear lack of attention by dashcammer being on the phone.

That guy's heading for a massive heart attack in his mid-50s.

Dangerous driving?!

The st cammers come out with! It was slightly inconsiderate driving. No incident at all if the cammer had just eased off and chilled out.

Love the way 95% of dashcammers pronounce the eff word, like it's spelt with a oo!
Also the "pulling your pud" word like it's spelt with a long aaaaa in the middle!

Is there a passenger?

Three words auto erotic asphyxiation.

The black bird is a prossie, she is working the majic on the John, whilst a belt tied round his neck.

The John is pulling too hard at the point of the money shot,indicated by the hard braking in video.

Pulls too hard faints.

Prossie jumps ship whilst the John is now slumped at wheel asleep, car rolls with no control.

John wakes up to a sore head but a sense of relief.

Just realised my theory is kaput as she was the driver...

The clip at 8 minutes was horrific!!! You watch it and think why didn't they change lanes, move or slow down. You can see the headlights approaching from a fair distance away... The next clip looked sadly like it was fatal

Yes, you have to wonder what the hell people are doing if they didn't notice the oncoming headlights for that long, especially with space to move into to the right.

I also agree on the subsequent one looking like a fatality. The ridiculous thing is that most of the videos posted are so easily-avoidable. When it comes to the Russian vids, it seems people just aren't paying attention and/or driving far too fast for the conditions. It's also a scary reminder of just how badly built older cars are; most of the Ladas on these videos crumple like tin foil.

Christ. That one at 8 minutes odd you could see coming a mile off. I was going move, move.
Does no one in Russia obey traffic lights?

Puts the UK ones into context, I'd rather have someone driving like a bit of a tt than running the constant risk of a red light collision.

One of my biggest irritations is people not obeying clear lane markings on roundabouts. I actually really struggle to keep my eyes open enough. Anyone who has gone up the A5 duel carriage way from Leighton Buzzard towards Bletchley will know it's a 3 lanes entry to 4 lanes on the roundabout and it is lane 3 entry which has the option of lane 3 and 4 on the roundabout, but most people from lane 2 entry go into lane 3 and often hoot or flash me (and others) who correctly use the lane markings. It's very, very frustrating.

Can we get that Russian "Ramming Rambo" bus driver over here to teach some of these Riccardos a lesson?

In Manchester, the A627M up to the M62 at J20 has got to be the worst one for that. 3 lanes on the approach, 3 lanes on the roundabout. Approaching the roundabout there's a sign stating lane 1 Liverpool (left only), lane 2 Liverpool and Rochdale (left and straight on), lane 3 Leeds (right). Most of the traffic there turns right for Leeds but they approach in the middle lane and then cut straight across the white lines as you enter the roundabout .
