This t
tting of cars favoured by cyclists and motorcyclists needs to stop. I think it's understandable to try and follow someone who may have damaged your property and I don't understand why anyone would be surprised by that reaction. Mowing them down is clearly well off the scale but the bashing of someone's car is the trigger. I've seen motorcyclists do it to cars that haven't left, in their opinion, sufficient room for them to filter and when a car driver has made a typical and easy to anticipate mistake, such as a cut up on a roundabout. I suppose the assumption is that they'll be able to evade the car driver. As the video shows, that doesn't always work out.
Agreed. I had my windscreen bashed hard by a m/cyclist. Exited a roundabout, queuing traffic in opposing direction, the divot was 'filtering' completely on the wrong side of the road, no option for me other than to stop making as much room as possible or mount the kerb, naturally did not bounce up kerb. No flashing, no shaking of heads, no finger wagging but the prick still thinks it right to bash the windscreen. One day he'll do that to a nutter. If he does, whilst it doesn't make the nutter response even remotely acceptable, karma can be a btting of cars favoured by cyclists and motorcyclists needs to stop.

First clip, Accelerated into that accident all on his own
Amazing week after week how many incidents are on taking exit to the roundabout using the outside lane of two
Literally half of the "entries" on UK Dash Cam seem to be at roundabouts with either people straight lining them, driving over the middle when turning right, over/undertaking other cars or in the wrong lane for exit. Yet people just plow on into them regardless, at speed and without even a sniff of defensive driving.Amazing week after week how many incidents are on taking exit to the roundabout using the outside lane of two

Wowser - Bo & Luke would be impressed by that. I still cant comprehend how that car managed to launch like it hit a huge ramp.P1Fanatic said:

At a guess, the wheel was still rolling forwards at quite a rate, so when the front bumper of the car hit the back of the wheel, the wheel's rotation 'lifted' the bumper up with it as it rolled (some sort of grip between tyre and bumper, possibly by treads, possibly by 'grabbing' the number plate / top of the radiator intake, or possibly just friction*), which then put the front undertray in contact for the same rotational 'pull'...and from that point the car was toast.* the car and wheel were travelling different speeds. To near-instantly align their speeds, either the wheel needed to be 'pushed' along the road (i.e. skidding the part of the wheel in contact with the road - high-friction event), or the car needed to shed the difference (won't happen as wheel too light), or the car needed to ride-up-and-over a wheel which was rotating in the right way to assist that.
