Did we watch the same video?
The biker rode in his own lane without passing anyone or undertaking anything for at least 100 metres before stopping at the roundabout and being rear ended by a van that must have been following him for that same hundred metres.
Let me have another lookThe biker rode in his own lane without passing anyone or undertaking anything for at least 100 metres before stopping at the roundabout and being rear ended by a van that must have been following him for that same hundred metres.
I can only think saaby93 is watching a different video, the biker wasn't in the vans blind spot at all.
It wasn't even like he nipped up the inside of him in the same lane, the vans were in the right lane as he passed them and he's clearly well in front at the roundabout with no reason for them to not see him.
Some people's perception is genuinely worrying on here

My excuse is the video play back skips from time to time
The bike had its own lane the DPD van decided to change lane and undertake the corsa and bumped into the bike it hadnt seen stopped there.
Clear lack of observation by the DVD guy

Blind spot? The blind spot just in front of the passenger side headlight? Obscured by the windscreen perhaps. Bad for visibility those windscreens being made of glass and all.
ok ok - see aboveThe trouble with being human is your brain creates an image of what it thinks is around you and your eye updates that picture.
If your eye hasnt scanned the bit that's changed you wont know the change is there
Pretty much like me watching the video and the player jumping the key couple of seconds
As you were

Thoughts?
Car driver in wrong by not indicating, biker in wrong by undertaking in bus lane?
100% driverThoughts?
Car driver in wrong by not indicating, biker in wrong by undertaking in bus lane?
many bus lanes can be used by motorbikes, also it depends on the time of day, was the bus lane in force or not? if not then the golf was even more in the wrong as they should me in the left most lane. hardly undertaking when the car is the one thats slowing down.

I would expect DPD to be taking action over that. The RTC was one thing but the attitude, refusal to supply details and then driving off would be grounds for dismissal.
I emailed DPD about this because I sometimes cover Risk Management and companies s
t themselves stupid about Reputation.A positive response on a non-working day for us nine to fivers:
"Thank you for taking the time to contact me about this. We have already been made aware of this incident on the 23rd June, and are co-operating in full with the individuals concerned.
Please be assured that we are assisting where possible and are fully co-operating with the investigation.
Kind regards,

Looking at the footage again, it appears to me that the biker sped up and was going for an undertake just as the car went by the two manholes in the road.
Better source (and full length): http://www.newsflare.com/video/76635/other/nasty-m...(Sorry but that telegraph video's website is a load of s
te).Personally, I don't think the biker is blameless, he's clearly trying to undertake in a bus lane and shouldn't have been there to begin with. The bus lane sign clearly says taxi/bus NOT motorbike (see longer source above).
Yes car is a knob for not indicating, but really - biker in the bus lane is going for a clear undertake and the road markings clearly indicate that a left turn is possible (which the car did).

in two minds about posting this.
It's not very exciting but it's so typical of the 40mph doddlers that are so common on our roads these days and the frustration they generate. I think they were down to 25mph at one point.

My 6th sense would have told me that car trouble. The warning signs were that he tended to wander from side to side albeit within his lane so may be listening to the Archers. His speed was unnecessarily slow which I would have interpreted as deliberate knowing there was a truck behind.
Probably with little to do & all the time in the world to do it & probably bored with an empty life now retired he was able to take out his bitterness on somebody else, especially somebody who has a job & a purpose in life ( & a good woman!)
These living dead populate the south of England especially.
Tailgating no way yet in a truck you 'ain't never going to get by him. Oh the joy of going straight into him when he braked.
One of these days an old git like that is going to followed back to his destination & have his car either keyed, his home burgled or simply stabbed or shot - it happens elsewhere in the world & one day here.
Imagine the headlines UNPROVOKED ATTACK ON PENSIONER. Sometimes the perpetrator becomes the victim & it serves them right.

Agreed. This is a clear cut case of dawdling. Could tell straight away when the traffic in front of the dawdler rapidly disappeared into the distance.My 6th sense would have told me that car trouble.

Haven't seen this posted yet, DPD driver knocks runs into a biker, argues, denies insurance information, gets aggressive with a bystander then drives off 
https://youtu.be/3BWAZ3-xWJ4
I was already thinking the biker was taking some risk but was so surprised when he got knocked offhttps://youtu.be/3BWAZ3-xWJ4
I guess the van hadn't realised the bike had undertaken and parked in front
Van's fault for not checking what he thought was clear, now wasnt?
Bikers fault for not thinking about blind spots?
Any issues with road layout?

The biker looked to be going for an overtake in the bus lane, but the car obviously stopped that move.
Now, forgive me if i'm wrong, but I was taught to drive defensively and expect the unexpected from everyone, basically thinking everyone can be an idiot until proven otherwise.
What would have happened if the car had braked and swerved to avoid an obstacle in the road?
The biker was following, he should have been going at a speed that would allow him to stop safely if something happened in front of him.
If the car suddenly pulled up at the side and stopped, possibly due to some emergency in the car, it would be the biker's fault for not leaving enough space to stop safely.
It's riding/driving basics. Expect the unexpected and you won't go wrong.

They would have been liable for any damages or injuries to the biker by swerving into them.That's obvious. What's less obvious is the location of the video, some cities permit bikes in bus lanes. Cities like Edinburgh have signs that don't mention bikes but they are allowed just now.
Edited by ShaunTheSheep on Saturday 25th June 20:09
No, if, car braked and swerved to avoid something in the road, pothole, child, something fallen from a wagon.
Biker runs in to the back of the car, the same as the video.
The biker even said he couldn't stop in time, er because he was going to fast for the road conditions ahead, whilst going down a bus lane.
It's the biker's fault.
And the second vid clip of the incident gives the location, the bus lane signs don't allow motorbikes.

Not quite Dashcam, but 'filmed from the side of the road' cam...
Would love to know what happened in the run up to this one.
