Hardly what you'd call cyclists, just a couple of sewer rats on bikes.

Did the red car which drove past the horses do anything wrong? Looked like a NSL so 60mph was appropriate and it seemed to give them plenty of room. Surely if the horse would have got spooked at that, it shouldn't have been on the road.

You might want to read rule 215.

You can get a spooked horse at any time. You only have to see them going through a village suddenly decide they're going to do the circly horse thing while everyone stops, switches off engine if diesel and waits to see where the rider ends up
Those horses looked like they knew what they were doing. It may well have been a horsey person driving past in the red car. There's an argument for getting past quickly at a distance rather than hovering by slowly spooking it.
Did the horses bat an eye?
Would I have gone slower

Nice ears vid

Pulls out right in the path of a car. But not to blame.

See how long this comment on there lasts:

Apparently it wasn't actually clear to the right.

But I'm sure you'll delete this comment just like all the others you delete that point out when YOU'RE in the wrong or trangress the Highway Code.

Coward.

Why shout at the guy only to admit that it wasnt even a bad pass, really, just not quite optimal?! It wasnt a bad pass, in my view. I would have slowed down a bit, but there was a decent gap.

Because he's had nearly six million views due to one reaction that went viral. Earning £4750 roughly. He basically goes around acting like a dick in the hope he will get a reaction and make another £4k. Also he is seriously fking deluded and thinks that he is king of the road because he knows the highway code numbers, yet ignores pedestrians.

He wouldn't have made a bean, his YouTube doesn't appear to be monetised and there's no ads on any of his vids.

That's what I said
- its a horse its liable to do all sorts of things, as I said you can see them spooked just by approaching them slowly especially in a diesel. Switch off wait for it to stop circling.
Is it better to hover slowly past and spook it or go past at a distance quickly so it's not bothered?
It might easily be a horsey person in the red car
I already said all that and which I'd try to do (none of those).
How did the horse look?

Common courtesy. Pistonheads.

Oh god my sides. I've never heard anything so funny! Bahahahahahahaha

Speed = right of way. That's the PH way.

Common courtesy indeed.

[DavidJG]

I'm not a violent person, and usually don't condone violence.

But I really do wish someone would give Mr Uphill Freeloader a really good kick in the teeth. The guy is an utter cock.

Maybe I'm reading a different forum.
There's a lot about courtesy and holding back, especially when there's a vid of some idiot in a bike car truck who doesnt.

Comment(s) gone.

In any case, since when does one determine (and commit) that the road is clear 10 - 15ft *before* the junction?

I'm not quite sure what the guy is even claiming. Does he think the red car appeared out of thin air? Genuinely bemused!

[drivin_me_nuts]

All that video shows is that he has bugger all spatial awareness or appreciation of cars moving behind parked cars. He is at best, a poor rider.

Perhaps they didn't have their POLITE NOTICE vests on?

It didn't look like a close pass but I can't imagine I'd like someone to pass me on a horse iif they're doing 60. I've never been on a horse though!

My practice, which I think is consistent with the Highway Code, for overtaking horses is to slow to the slowest speed that the car will comfortably do in 3rd gear (say, about 18mph) and pass with the least engine noise possible. A lot of people seem to drop a couple of cogs and drive past reasonably slowly but quite loudly.

Anyone agree the cyclist doesn't appear phased at all?

What time in the vid?

BMW driver is a tt but the cyclist should have seen the car stopped to turn right and anticipated that cars would want to pull around it.

While some are quoting the Highway Code, I think the most relevant rule is:

Rule 147
Be considerate. Be careful of and considerate towards all types of road users, especially those requiring extra care (see Rule 204).

• you MUST NOT throw anything out of a vehicle; for example, food or food packaging, cigarette ends, cans, paper or carrier bags. This can endanger other road users, particularly motorcyclists and cyclists.
• try to be understanding if other road users cause problems; they may be inexperienced or not know the area well.
• be patient; remember that anyone can make a mistake.
• do not allow yourself to become agitated or involved if someone is behaving badly on the road. This will only make the situation worse. Pull over, calm down and, when you feel relaxed, continue your journey.
• slow down and hold back if a road user pulls out into your path at a junction. Allow them to get clear. Do not over-react by driving too close behind to intimidate them.
