Because they're small minded, agenda driven and intellectually challenged frankly!

Mate if you're just going to contribute nonsense to support your anti-cycling agenda, please don't bother. Your view seems to be that nobody was harmed, the cyclist should just accept van drivers may get a little close to killing him sometimes, why is everyone getting so worked out. Which is frankly dangerous nonsense, but you won't be persuaded otherwise.
It's just life 'mate', try getting one!

Who is it that brings up the so called ' anti-cycling' agenda?
Is it something else that doesnt exist?

The problem is when differing opinions lead to dangerous behaviours on the road being normalised.

Its because everyone "knows" that their opinion is correct and others are wrong.

The van driver is the one who fked up here, but I don't think it was deliberate, more likely he was just being dozy and unobservant.

Prime concern should be making sure he doesn't do it again, so a chat from plod might indeed be useful. Either the incident already gave him enough of a wakeup call to stop him making the same mistake twice, or he needs telling to sort himself out before he kills someone.

More strawman?
No ones saying the van driver tried to knock the cyclist off their bike
or at least if it was - it was an abysmal attempt - ploughing straight on would have achieved it , and you can see the van driver avoided that
Why do some people post things that arent there coffee
Sorry....where did I say he did try and knock the cyclist off their bike.

Why do some people post things that arent there? coffee

k so it's both a dual carriageway and it has slips wink



As they were both turning right the van should have just tucked in behind the bike and waited turn?
Yes. Assuming the 2 or 3 seconds it would have impeded his journey wouldn't have cost someone a life.

Or he could have engaged his brain/reduced his chimp and got round the cyclist without making a point.
