Driving instructor runs over man who gets out of his car during argument.
Guess the driving instructor panicked. By the way the guy slammed his hands on the bonnet he wasn't coming over for a polite discussion..........

Yeah, at first glance looks like a 'fear of my life' type of action. There must have been something that happened previously.

Is it bad that I feel no sympathy for those "hard man" types who get out of their cars to start posturing at another driver and subsequently get injured?
Sure, the driver of the L plated car is stuffed and will face legal ramifications, but I wonder if the other driver will think twice about being so aggressive in future - once his injuries are healed, of course.

Must have been a build up to this - what made the guy with the camera think "this is worth filming". People don't just walk around with their camera phone on record all the time.

The description on the video says that the driving instructor was out of his car punching the bloke through the window before this happened.

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.
OK, translate that into a two-lane dual carriageway - if a car travelling in the right hand lane brakes and swerves into a car in the left hand lane, who is at fault?

You say the bike couldn't stop in time because he was travelling too fast, why couldn't the car also stop in time to avoid a pothole, child or something fallen in to the road? Because they weren't paying enough attention/travelling too fast. Why is the onus on the person continuing in a straight line and not on the person doing the swerving?

I agree, the biker shouldn't have been in the bus lane on that route; however, just because a motorist is in a place they're not supposed to be, it doesn't mean it's open season for other motorists to swerve into them with impunity.

We don't know what led up to this, of course. However as someone who has been on the receiving end of genuinely unprovoked road violence (the car turned out to be cloned and nothing could be done to trace the coked up twit who was driving it), my initial instinct is "Not so cocky now you're lying in a puddle of your own st, are you?". hehe

video said:
Woolwich, south London.Shocking road rage footage shows man mowed down by DRIVING INSTRUCTOR on way back from McDonald's
This is the shocking moment a driving instructor runs a man over in an apparent road rage attack.

During the disturbing footage the victim - who was apparently on his way back from McDonald's - can be seen bouncing off the car's bonnet before collapsing prone at the side of the road.

The altercation, which took place in Church Street, Woolwich, south London, was sparked when the driving instructor allegedly punched the victim through the window of his car.

He gets out of his car to speak to his attacker, when the driving instructor mows him down

The victim is forced up against the kerb before flipping him up into the air.
Is that quite what we see in the video?
Ive already misviewed a video once today

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?
Saaby you're a very strange person. The biker was stopped for a good few moments before he got knocked off.

DPD driver won't be so cocky when he's out of a job smile

Minicab man learnt a valuable lesson that day. Shocking how the worst driving/most confrontation happens between "professional drivers".

The original video had this comment "On my way back from McDonald's I then witness a the driving instructor punching the victim through the window of his car after the victim gets out the car to confront the driving instructor he then ends up being ran over.". So obviously more to it.

Why not look before posting. It's the internet version of thinking before you speak.

To the point about swerving and liability, try Davis v Schrogrin for size - bike on the wrong side of the road at 45mph, car springs out for a turn. 100% cars fault. Found that even with slower speed, the surprising car action wouldn't have been avoided, bike did notice some movement of the car when it was a few car lengths back but this wasn't deemed to indicate the move the car was about to pull. The view was that the bike was there to be seen so the car driver was negligible.

Being in the bus lane does change things, bike can still claim on the car of course but will likely be 50/50. http://www.lampkins.co.uk/advice/if-im-in-a-bus-la...

Watch out for those bikes!

P.s. leaving the scene of an accident is thoroughly disgusting behaviour.

It appears that the bold bit was before the video was taken... why would you take a video of traffic until something kicks off, at which point the budding urban Attenborough has got his video running to capture the other guy get out of the car to remonstrate, becoming pavement paté for his trouble.

I meant the next sentence too - there was a bit more to it than that
