Even better, don't drive on the wrong side of the road on blind bends...
Yeah, I tend not to. I also don't assume that the road is completely clear around that blind bend, and I don't assume that the road is empty of muppets.

The left cyclist then choices to avoid the car by turning sharp left across the front of the car, I think the car then reacts by turning onto the cyclists side of the road so as not to run the cyclist down..
To sum up I think it was the cyclists travelling too fast and using all the available road space with no ability to stop, compounded by one of there team going straight in front of the car.

Sorry, here is the car 100% on the wrong side of the road. Look just how far out of position the driver is...To sum up I think it was the cyclists travelling too fast and using all the available road space with no ability to stop, compounded by one of there team going straight in front of the car.

I am a lecturer of some very needy 16-18 year old's. I try to be as lenient as possible so that they can enjoy the freedom of college as school didn't suit them. However, I have 10 rules and rule #10 is that students are not allowed to wear caps, hats or have their hoods up in any of my lessons. This week I have asked a student to leave my lesson twice, as he refused to take his cap off. The reason being, if I let rule #10 go and become 'chilled' they will just want to break rule #9.. and so on.
Whilst I will not use my vehicle as a weapon to keep other drivers in check, I will safely create a situation where they can't just simply get their own way. If we just let everyone get away with dropping standards, the UK driving compilations will very quickly look like Russian driving compilations.
However, it's still not worth getting angry over.
Except that what you decide may not be acceptable on the road is not what someone else may consider unacceptable.Whilst I will not use my vehicle as a weapon to keep other drivers in check, I will safely create a situation where they can't just simply get their own way.

Many of the uk driving compilations are full of idiots getting involved in a situation which would have arisen had they not rose to the challenge.
You may well be part of the problem.
On the road your job is to drive as safely as you can, and anticipate the errors of others to minimise their effect. Full Stop. It is not to 'teach' others. If you do that, other drivers will either ignore you, or react aggressively to your aggression- they are very unlikely to 'learn'.
And of course you may not be any better a driver than they are, except by your own personal standards. If we all try to enforce our own differing personal standards- chaos.

Well that's ok, but bear in mind that should you ever encounter a car driving around a bend on the wrong side of the road, if you collide with that car please remember your comments on this thread.

I had no idea cars driving on pavements was so prevalent...

Did the car hit the cyclists or the cyclists hit the car? Did the cyclists stop and the car just ran into them?
Do we know which country this is?

Not that easy to see it that clearly, however, even if the car was100% on his side of the road, i certainly don't think the yellow cyclist would have made it without colliding with the car.Byker28i said:

If it was filmed from a car's dashcam would so many people be making excuses for the s
t driving?If it was a motorbike, wouldn't people be on here saying they were riding recklessly. All over the road, riding at speed without being able to stop. What if the car was parked there, broken down changing a wheel?
It's mostly the cars fault on the wrong side (Tourist) but the cyclists also have to take a share of the blame for putting themselves in that situation (but they wont)

Presumably because bin lorry is completely blocking the road? Still a really stupid thing to do- wait or go another way!http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-news...

OK, let's say it was helmet cam footage. Rider in yellow is positioned perfectly to peel in from the crown and pass the apex, would it be the biker's fault?

While I agree this isn't right and is the car drivers problem, I think what I'm trying to say is the cyclists while small as individuals ride across the FULL width of their side so they end up being bigger than a lorry etc and when travelling at that speed they just can't stop.
If you had a lorry that covered the centre line to verge you wouldn't drive round that corner at that speed and you'd certainly be able to stop much quicker...
You see cyclists saying they've got 50/60mph down hills and frankly they don't stand a chance... (obviously they weren't going that quick in this clip) I is the peleton mentality which I think causes the biggest issues...
