The chase down and resultant car park brawl at 2:30 onwards is pretty goodSome really decent clips in there, better than the insipid UK stuff
I don't normally post videos (and I'll probably regret this on here), but the incident below was rather annoying.
The moron in the Almera was so close I could touch him.
The sound is me tapping his car because as he overtook me, he began to turn left across me before he had cleared my bicycle.

Oh well. Flame away.
Any constructive criticism about my bike riding gratefully received.

No criticism, constructive or otherwise, driver was a plonker.The moron in the Almera was so close I could touch him.

An observation though, having seen this happen lots of times- as far as I know, dealing with cyclists is not covered in the whole training and testing process for drivers, or if it is, that's a very recent thing which won't have affected many current drivers. It really needs to be. Rather more important than be able to reverse into a parking bay.

Driver education relies on having a tiny fraction of common sense and consideration though - normal people wouldn't get anywhere near the vulnerable cyclist to save 10 seconds on their journey... But not everyone is blessed with two brain cells to rub together.An observation though, having seen this happen lots of times- as far as I know, dealing with cyclists is not covered in the whole training and testing process for drivers, or if it is, that's a very recent thing which won't have affected many current drivers.

Anyway, if we simply take the view that they are too stupid to improve, then we are giving up on the hope of making roads safer and more relaxing for everyone to use. That can't be right. Driver education really hasn't been tried at all- no one gets any further training after they have passed their test, perhaps 30 years + ago, unless they chose to do so.

I sort of agree with that but is not always that simple. The same people who drive 12 inches from a cyclist will give a pedestrian more space.

But how do you force someone who doesn't care about their driving to improve? Put them into further training and they'll do the bare minimum to pass and continue in their bad habits.Anyway, if we simply take the view that they are too stupid to improve, then we are giving up on the hope of making roads safer and more relaxing for everyone to use.

Ultimately a skill that someone doesn't care for won't be something they spend time into improving.

Even Reg Local's dictum for passing cyclists (I think it is 'aim to follow, prepare to pass') would be a good start- it's just 6 words!

Not sure we've had this one before, it's a bit long but some of them certainly get the pulses racing - especially the last one with RR and bikes!
