I had to bite on comments section. The cyclist needs a bit of a reality check if he thinks that was close.

Just what was the need for a pass that close then ? The Aldi had loads of room but chooses to cut in tight = dorkI had to bite on comments section. The cyclist needs a bit of a reality check if he thinks that was close.

How can you take anyone seriously when they've got a wicker basket on the front of their bike?I had to bite on comments section. The cyclist needs a bit of a reality check if he thinks that was close.

Basket + Union Jack + cycling miles out of his way to remonstrate over a very minor if anything at all infringement = NutterI had to bite on comments section. The cyclist needs a bit of a reality check if he thinks that was close.
He has never had a proper punishment/fast/close path if that sets him off, I had a Skoda Fabia VRS and Audi A5 racing that passed me at maybe 80, very close as there was a car coming the other way, if they had been in traffic further on I would have reacted very badly with them, not sure what I would have done but never felt that scared in years of cycling, pair of twunts, litterally centimetres at high speed, too fast, too committed, had I been cycling further out I would have been hit, I have a small bar end mirror, saw and heard them coming and got in as far as I could, and no, I dont have a basket.

Yep either that or Peugeot brakes are just **** , at least we know who not to pull out on It has been explained in so many posts.

Didn't need to stop, just match the speed of the Morgan.
To me, it looks like the Pug driver wasn't anywhere near hard enough on the brakes.
Although, if the trend towards buying 'Triangle' (or similar) tyres has carried over to other components, you may find that the Pug was running those Chinese Brembo 'copy' pads which are rife on eBay. They may marginally pass the MOT, but will be utterly useless in emergency situations.

How can you make any assumption about what tyres/brakes the car is fitted with? The majority of people on the road will never have envountered a situation like that so likely won't react like the next person

This Morgan vs. Pug crash, I cannot see why everyone is siding with the Morgan driver, other than because it's a more PH car than the Peugeot. Here's why:
At 0:08 the Morgan enters the central "island" giveway bit inbetween carriageways.
At 0:10 the Peugeot is passing that same portion of central island just out of shot, judging by the doppler effect of the horn and how it comes into shot at 0:11 slightly further up the road.
So that's effectively pulling out 2 seconds infront of a car which is A), already established on the road and has priority, B) travelling at a decent whack. Maybe 3 seconds infront if you want to be conservative towards the Morgan driver.
How the f
k the Morgan driver thought he was going to turn right and accelerate away, matching the speed of the Pug within 2-3 seconds I have no idea. All this bks about the Peugeot blowing the horn and what not, we don't know that they weren't already off the loud pedal when the Morgan started pulling across. The horn is supposed to be used as a warning to others of your presence and this seems like a really good time to use it, warn the Morgan that he's just basically blocked your path and you ain't got the distance now to stop because of that.
For those querying why the Pug didn't dart into the hatchings on the right, you'll note that the Morgan didn't make a clean getaway from the turn, he cuts the hatchings himself and then enters the road from the hatchings. This means the Morgan is on the right and the Pug is on the left, as they're already established in the lane. The Morgan drifts left into the lane infront of the Pug, from the perspective of the Peugeot I expect it would appear that they're being squashed between the Morgan and the verge, they're taking a gamble that the Morgan will move right back onto the hatchings if they blow their horn and try and bleed off as much speed as possible.
Unfortunately for the Peugeot, they get their car smashed up because of some tit with an ego probably, showing off leaving a meet who is more interested in putting on a show than not pulling out immediately infront of an oncoming car.
Edit: Put it this way, if you swapped the cars around and the Peugeot was pulling out infront of the Morgan, who would the majority of PH seem to be placing the blame on? PH loves to blame the Peugeot.
Had the carriageway not been reduced from two lanes to one, presumably in the interests of safety, this kind of accident could have been avoided. The Morgan driver could have moved into the inside lane to build up speed while the Peugeot driver could have gone around. This is why many single carriageway roads have sections of dual carriageway with overtaking lanes, so drivers can pull out and build up speed while allowing those on the main carriageway to overtake. Take away the overtaking lane because you think overtaking is the root of all evil and you help create this kind of situation. At 0:08 the Morgan enters the central "island" giveway bit inbetween carriageways.

Maybe the last time the Morgan driver pulled out of this car park the overtaking lane was there, he didn't see it had gone and though the Peugeot driver could go round him.

t their pants, who knows.And we may never know why the Morgan drove straight over the junction without stopping in the middle.

Even if it was dual carriage way, it was stupid pulling out in front of an oncoming vehicle.Maybe the last time the Morgan driver pulled out of this car park the overtaking lane was there, he didn't see it had gone and though the Peugeot driver could go round him.

By the same token she's just as precious, almost everyone else merged in good time, why is she so special ? To then carry on and knock cones down so she didn't lose face is excessive to say the least.Too many precious individuals around.

The weirdo's YouTube channel is called Bike-Riding-Motorist, but there doesn't seem to be any of him driving...
There is this one though of him falling off his bike whilst negotiating a particularly tricky mini roundabout. 'Diesel on the road', never heard that excuse used by a cyclist!

I wonder if the van driver would carried on like that in his own car, as you say, why not let these idiots in.
