I only posted the link on here to see how quickly I would be told it was my fault. Pistonheads never disappoints.
I think the pelican crossing is a good example, you should be able to step onto it knowing cars will stop, but you know that a lot won't, so you will always wait until you fully know the cars have stopped. It shouldn’t be like this but that is what having minimal actual police on the roads does.

Take some responsibility for your own safety and consider that it's likely that at least 50% of drivers have below average intelligence and that many of those that are above average intelligence are just crap drivers...

Ermmmmm.... So it just me that clenches their fist and prepares to detach a wing mirror? 
I find that in supermarket carparks, even Audi/BMW drivers stop if you push a large trolley out into thecrossing first

Its unfortunate being knocked off and glad you are ok but as said above, when the light goes green you move off quickly without looking right, even with an arctic coming across the junction still. And then, without checking again, you pulled across the junction when a van was coming. Of course they were at fault but why didn't you check to your right, not once but twice? You saw the arctic in time but didn't check for anything else following it.
I promised myself I wouldn't respond to the these posts but you're making assumptions and speaking about them like they're facts.Of course I was looking right, that's why I stopped for the Stobart lorry. I stopped ahead of my line but before their lane, hence why I wasn't mashed by the Stobart lorry. It also put me in a position to be seen by the traffic on the roundabout. I really have no idea why you think I wasn't checking right.
I made the decision to proceed after the Stobart lorry because the van driver had slowed to an almost stop at his red light. It was only after this that he decided to plant his foot and go for it. That's why you see a pretty large gap between the Stobart lorry and the van driver. It wasn't a consistent flow, it was a stop and a lunge.
I only posted the link on here to see how quickly I would be told it was my fault. Pistonheads never disappoints.
" though, don't they?People are slightly missing the point here. The OP has been criticised I agree possibly unfairly,however defensive driving is a two-way process.
Since I did my response driving course 12 years ago I have lost count of the accidents that I have avoided through anticipating the actions of others. Unfortunately you cannot legislate for fkwits and have to expect stuff like this... particularly if several vehicles have already done the red light!

What's happening at 2:11?? Is that footage sped up? DCW seems to wait for ages before applying the brakes, then starts yanking his steering around all over the place trying to avoid an avoidable crash. Laurel Green said:
At 1.10 you can see the speed board flashing red just before the kid ran out. It likely wasn't many mph, but it does show that each one can count at school commute time (not suggesting it was anyones fault but the idiot kid) trackdemon said:

Don't get all grumpy, we can see what we can see. If it's hidden and only you know what went on out of sight of the camera why did you leave us to guess what actually happened? We just drew conclusions from that. If you'd have told us what actually happened....
Naw, you assumed I didn't look rather than assume I did look and you could've asked a question rather than make a statement. It's a strange stance to take; "This chap posted a video. I don't have all the information I need from the video so I'm going to assume everything to the negative or contrary."t driving the wrong way, on the phone, pissed..... and it'd still somehow be your fault on ph 
It's like a CSI amateurs forum on here sometimes.

kwits and have to expect stuff like this... particularly if several vehicles have already done the red light!The accident was caused by the van running the red light, the van is nearly entirely to blame.
The accident could almost certainly have been avoided by the OP. The OP went through their light before it was green, the OP also went through before it was clear and appears to be dressed all in black; other vehicles managed to avoid being hit.
I am really glad the OP was not seriously hurt and hope that the van driver gets their comeuppance.

2.06. Plenty of time to brake when he lorry pulled out and it still ended up with a near miss. 6.00. Very clever Audi driver.

There is a slim chance that the biker trundling past everyone over the solid whites led the Audi to think it was lane dividers. On the other hand probably not.Graveworm said:

I have to admit to doing something similar. Pulled up behind what looked like a parked car, no rear lights on , no one in drivers seat and hugging the kerb. Presumed it was the last car in a long line of parked cars and proceeded to over take. Got about 6 cars down the line before noticing the beady eyes of a copper staring at me !! Turns out they were stuck in a queue and the person at the back was a midget who couldn’t be seen through the rear screen and they didn’t have their foot on the brake like I normally do when stopped.

At the time it was a simple enough mistake to make and a quick sheepish reverse to the back of the queue soon sorted it

that has to be the worst completion of DCWs ever.So many that drive into problems, 3.15 for example was going to cut corner, the other car did nothing wrong. same guy at 1.48 drove into a van which was alreay on the roundabout before him.
