The "Sh*t Driving Caught On Cam" Thread (Vol 4)

Cyclist vs car.
Car hides behind van at one vehicle each way at a time bollards.
Cyclist looks like they were tonking it down the road and lost it under heavy front wheel braking into a sidey skid as car driver pushes on through? Doesn't look like cylist was hit by car as they're going over long before the bollard (self preservation?).
Is it the camera angle / refresh rate or does the cyclist look to be much faster than the preceeding or following cars?
The necessary question however is whom would have been at fault if that were a horse coming the other way at 9am Sunday?

Regardless of fault, I wonder if the cyclist should of left more time/distance for the van to clear the traffic calming to ensure it was clear to continue, be able to stop in the distance that you can see.Cyclist vs car.

Also looks like the cyclist does hit the car.
Also watch without the sound.

Hard to judge from that angle. Cyclist vs car.

I would have thought the cyclist could have seen beyond the van.
Even though he has right of way it's always sensible to slow down in those circumstances.

Irrelevant as to whether people think the cyclist was going too fast as at the end of the day he had priority and the vehicle that followed through should have not done so. 100% car driver's fault IMO!Cyclist vs car.

This story made the BBC website, yet seemingly the daily near misses riders (horse or bike) or pedestrians have with cars because the driver is texting or just incompetent never seem to get the same attention.
This sort of trite comment is trotted out by people like you every time some of your 'brothers' f**k up! If you can't understand why stories like this make the news and why the fact that some of you having incidents with cars etc. doesn't then you need to go and get a new brain as your current one is obviously not working! Man bites dog vs dog bites man???? Tick tock, tick tock.... has the penny dropped? FFS!cb1965 said:

Good jobs it's a humble opinion.The cyclist is going as fast as the first car that goes the same way. I'm guessing between 20 and 30. Closer to 30 most likely .
The oncoming car has started driving through when the cyclist is still way back. The cyclist does not slow down at all before the traffic calming bollards.
Are cyclists not also supposed to slow down? Having a legal right of way doesn't mean you don't have to be cautious.
I feel sorry for the car driver who most likely didn't see the bike until it was far far too late. Going through a narrowing gap at that speed is stupid. In my humble opinion :-)

b) Speed limits don't apply to cyclists anyway.
c) The car following through just followed through ... you should never follow through a priority gate like that... you should always check, doubly so as you don't have priority in that direction.
d) The cyclist probably thought the car following was going to stop.... as it should have done. I admit had it been me I would have been more circumspect, but that is because I treat other drivers like the impatient fools most of them are.
e) I doubt in a court of law the car driver would come out of this with anything other than full blame.
f) My opinion was not humble... that would have been IMHO.
Cyclist may have had priority...
But he makes not attempt to proceed with caution or self preservation...
In my opinion (humble or not) it's a great example of how ste this country has become with road users thinking that because they have right of way they don't have to consider or be aware of other traffic...
In all honesty we need a bit more real Darwinism to wake the dopey majority of mouth breathers up who seem to think they are "entitled" to act the way they want on the roads because they have "uman rites"...
A prime example of "Might is right" there - I'm not condoning the driver of the car...but the cyclist could have considered what may happen ahead on a potential hazard of the road ...
