Moronic lane discipline. As has been mentioned though, it could have been avoided. Assume everyone else on the road is a complete idiot. Its stupid, but you have to plan around these people. I would never sit in someones blind spot for more than a second.

although it could have been avoided, why would the driver in the little van not even look to his right through his window when performing an obvious lane change like that? I mean you'd have to be fking stupid to not consider that there might be a vehicle there in your blindspot, as indeed there was.

Like I said, I contacted them regarding the incidents and they aren't interested at all. I didn't contact them regarding the damage, I contacted them due to the failure to stop/report the incidents.

Indeed. It's because he's driving a van. For people who spend most of their time driving, they aren't very good at it.

The guy joining the dual carriageway at about 4:30 - wasn't sure if he was the knob or the guy already on the dual carriageway - there was a car not far behind him in the outside lane (don't even start, OpulentBob!), so he may not have felt he had room to pull out to let the guy in the camera car out.

And yes, agree with the bods above about the motorcyclist/veryangryman interface at the end.

Agreed. Hopefully he shared that because he learned his lesson, not to get some moral support.

0:25 - Phone? Fell asleep?
0:50 - silly of both the van and car , car seemed to stop fairly suddenly, easy enough mistake from the van driver if he's checked his mirrors for a second to look at the cyclist
1:45 - stupid cars.

Rest was boring.

I agree but surely no man would allow another man to shout at them while wagging their finger, unless you are a child and its your dad.

Even though those types of videos are always full of comments like "if he tried that on me I'd knock him out" in the real world this rarely happens. Through a combination of shock, uncertainty, common sense and self preservation most people do not like getting into a physical altercation. He deserved to be shouted at as well - that was dangerous riding and if he did get knocked off it would likely have been blamed on the car driver.

Easy to say that, sometimes it's just a bit easier to sit there and let someone rattle off.

I think it takes a certain amount of gall to get out of your car and up in someones face as it is.
If you say or do the wrong thing they are quite likely to escalate it and let's be honest who has time for fisticuffs in the street?

Are we watching the same video?

Bike glides into a space, no rushed moves no sudden changes of course or speed. He glides in at a leisurely pace over the space of a few seconds in the drivers view. After it's all said and done, only then does the driver sound the horn.

What exactly are they on the horn for?

  • IF* the driver saw a potential hazard from their point of view, why did they wait until the merge was over, why not do it with the bike along side so that the bike can have the opportunity to fall back to the space behind?
Also while i'm at it, does anyone have the definition of circle-jerk to hand? I looked up the dictionary and it pointed me to these comments...?

I use this roundabout often and the lane discipline is below average, especially through that section of the roundabout. I've seen many close calls going through those lights so I am extra careful of what other tts may be doing, the problem is people come up from Odiham wanting to head towards Hook (3rd exit), by entering the roundabout in the left lane.... go figure.
