Bicyclist (B): (scream)
Motorcyclist (MC): Dude
MC: What the hell are you doing on your phone anyway.
B: What?
MC: What the hell you doing on your phone?
B: That's why you did it, is it? (incredulous)
MC: No, what the hell are you doing on your phone?
B: I'm cycling along in my lane.
MC: There is no lane to cycle. You're not even in the lane.
B: You're undertaking..
MC: How can I undertake you if you are on the right hand side?
[Enter policewoman. MC initiates conversation with policewoman ]
MC: How can he cycle around on his phone for a start?
Policewoman (P): With his what?
MC: How can he cycle around on his phone in this traffic?
P: What do you mean? He has every right to cycle on the road.
MC: On his telephone.
P: Were you on your telephone? (directed to B)
B: Sorry?
P: Were you on your telephone?
B: I had a phone in my hand. (sheepish)
P: Sir, you should know better than that. We're forever sticking drivers on, for having telephones on.
B: Okay. But...
(1m17)
[Note at this point the cyclist has not admitted to doing anything illegal, and the officer has yet to ask for any details of the collision. The MC continues to direct the conversation.]
MC: And you can't say I'm undertaking you because you're stand...you're on the right...and completely on this side of the road here. (pointing) There is no way to go around you.
B: Equally well, irrespective, he's behind me.
P: (interrupting) Right sir, sir.
B: Yes.
P: Right. I understand what you're saying.
[The policewoman cannot have understood what he was saying because she didn't let him finish, and evidently wasn't listening either as we'll later discover.]
P: I really do understand what you're saying, but you're on your telephone. You shouldn't be on your telephone.
[Policewoman still has no clue about the nature of the collision, or whether the telephone is at all relevant.]
(1m41)
B: Right, OK.
MC: (interrupting) Right, I just want to say I apologise that we came together here okay. It's not my intention to cause any aggravation between myself and cyclists.
[A very odd thing to say. He has expressed great dislike for cyclists online.]
MC: But... if you could respect the road..
[Misdirection again. Implying the cyclist isn't obeying laws.]
MC: ..the same way that I respect the road as well; by stopping at lights and stuff like that;
[There is no evidence that this cyclist ever went through a red light. This spiel has nothing whatsoever to do with the collision. This is misdirection.]
MC: ..and using the road in a proper manner then that's fine.
[Again, nothing this cyclist did was improper. Misdirection.]
B: There's no question about stopping at lights.
[The cyclist is right. (And looking confused). Clearly the motorcyclist is attempting to suggest he has seen this cyclist doing all the above mentioned things, to reinforce to the policewoman that he himself is blameless.]
MC: No, no. I'm just saying that...just generally speaking. I respect the road. I do what I did...
[He almost starts to describe what he did, and quickly diverts]
MC: I've got a registration.
B: I'm high-viz.
MC: I am the same as well.
[Again... police woman interrupts]
P: Sir, sir. (to bicyclist)
P: At the end of the day...
[ she now realises she doesn't actually know what happened]
P: ..what actually happened because I didn't see it? (looks at motorcyclist)
MC: Basically I came around to the side of the guy, and our bikes just basically...
[He's in a hole. More misdirection required. Let's forget describing what happened and do more trash talking of the cyclist.]
MC: ... he's on his side here going *extremely* slowly past here, because he is on his telephone.
[Again mentioning the telephone. More poisioning of the well. The motorcyclist hasn't actually said what happened yet at all, and in fact never will.]
MC: I don't know what caught basically but he caught me... in some respect.
[So we can see he is now lying. He doesn't mention the mirror until the end, which might have given him away.]
P: Have you run into the back of him? (talking to bicyclist) Have you gone into the back of him?
B: No, no no.
MC: (interrupting) It was more a sideways thing, to be honest.
B: He pulled up on the inside of me, and caught me on the inside. As he was passing on the inside, he caught me.
[The policewoman now looks like she is considering what happened. So Mr MC goes to work again.]
MC: And the thing is there is no other way of me doing it, because he's actually on the furthest part of the road here. So everybody is undertaking him.
[A long pause and the bemused bicyclist attempts to finally have his say.]
B: Irrespective, you have to deal with the road conditions you have in front of you, you can't just...
P: (interrupting) Sir, I'm not being rude...[She is]... if you've been on your telephone you should know better than that. If he [pointing at motorcyclist] was on his telephone he'd be getting stuck on. He would have got stuck on under the road traffic act.
[The policewoman now being extremely patronising]
P: You shouldn't be using your telephone.
B: Irrespective...
P: (interrupting again) I understand what you're saying sir. [Evidently she does not.] But what you've also got to understand if you're using the road as a cyclist, you need to adhere by the highway code.
B: I take your point. But I also think you should take account of the fact that he was not giving proper space for cyclists... irrespective of whether I was on my phone or not, I didn't cause the accident. He was the one who came up behind me...
[Guess who interrupts here. Too much truth coming out. MC needs to stop this.]
MC: Causing the accident is by being on your telephone, basically.
[This man is a sociopath.]
B: If I was not on my...
MC: If you weren't on your telephone you would be cycling a lot faster than you would be anyway.
[Surely the policewoman should have smelled a rat by now.]
B: You say that but...
P: (interrupting again) Were you actually having a conversation on the telephone?
[Success for MC. Back to the telephone again.]
B: No, I was going to... er
P: What were you doing on the telephone?
B: I was waiting to answer the phone.
P: Right. So the phone was ringing?
P: You were distracted by the ringing of your phone?
[PC Stupid still hasn't found out how the collision occured, but is still insistent on blaming the cyclist.]
B: Yes. Okay. But I didn't cause the accident.
P: It doesn't matter. It is a contributing factor. [No it isn't.]
P: If I'm driving and my phone rings and I pick it up [cyclist is now looking like he has a mouth full of wasps] that split second of me not being attentative on the road, by me picking up a phone...
B: (interrupting) [now must extremely annoyed] I now caused the accident. Is that what you're saying.
P: I'm not saying you caused the accident. I'm just saying these are contributing factors.
B: Contributing... okay.
P: You've got to understand, I don't know what happened because I wasn't there. I didn't see it. Okay. But what you've got to understand is... nobody should be using the telephone. It's a contri.. I mean whatever he's done, (B: I take that point), and whatever you've done. Maybe... all I'm saying is... when you're using the telephone if you're driving or cycling or whatever you're not as alert as what you should be, as if you had your eyes focused on the road, and not fiddling around with your phone.
[So. She has either forgotten, ignored, or not understood that the cyclist was hit from behind, and having your eyes on the road would not have helped.]
B: I hear what you are saying, but it is also the case that he was the one that hit me from behind.
[Now it becomes clear PC Stupid still has no understanding of what actually happened.]
MC: I was actually on the side, to be honest. [Liar]
P: Hang on. I came and your wheel was there. (pointing to rear wheel of motorcycle, talking to bicyclist)
[PC Stupid is now insinuating the bicyclist is lying, despite having repeatedly said she didn't see what happened.]
P: ...and that.. (touching handlebars of bicycle)
B: He came past me. (bicyclist makes motion indicating a sideswipe from the right-hand side)
P: Right. What do you actually want to do about this? (looking at both parties)
[Surprise surprise MC gets his oar in before the cyclist has a chance to say anything.]
MC: Well, I've got this all recorded anyway so I mean...
B: Sorry?
MC: This is all recorded anyway.
B: You have?
MC: Yes
[Cyclist probably at this point cannot believe his ears. He's been run over, given a bashing by the police, and now MC is essentially saying: Don't try to sue me or I'll screw you over.]
MC: So I mean, if you....you can say whatever you want. It... y'know... I'll... basically... this has all been recorded.
[MC has no idea how the collision occurred, but is supremely confident that the video evidence supports him]
B: If you want to look at the record, you'll see that you came up behind me...
[Broken record time..]
MC: I came to the side of you actually.
B: Indeed. And you caught me.
M: I came up to the side of you...
B: You were undertaking me and you caught me.
P: Can I just ask is anybody hurt or injured?
B: I have a graze on my knee.
MC: I'm not, because I'm wearing protection basically.
[You weren't hit by a motorcycle and ejected onto the road either.]
B: Right. Okay. I'm not going to pursue it.
P: My main concern is that everybody is okay.
MC: Yep. (affirmation)
P: A word of advice, the pair of you: Be slightly more aware of what is going on. And please sir, let your mobile phone ring; put it in your pocket, leave it to ring, and pull over when it is safe to do so.
B: Fair enough.
MC: Are we done? (extends hand to bicyclist)
[So now I'd be extremely pissed off that MC has not once apologised, and be completely unwilling to shake this guy's hand]
MC: I'll apologise that we've had this come-to, yeah.
B: Okay. Right. You be a little bit more careful. I'll be a little bit more careful.
MC: I'll be a little bit more careful, and also yourself.
P: Alright, guys.
MC: Cheers thanks.
[Cyclist now departs]
P: Nothing broken?
MC: Nah. You saved us a lot of agro, to be honest.
P: To be honest, I say it to everyone, be it riding, driving, you mustn't be on the mobile phone. You mustn't let anything distract you....
MC: Unfortunately it doesn't seem to matter with cyclists though, cos they seem to have a different rule to us other road users.
P: I can't comment on that, unfortunately. [Why not? You've been sticking your oar in for the last 5 mintutes]
MC: Yeah, I know. Okay. Well.
P: I need to make sure that all road users, be them, even pedestrians crossing the road, they have to be on there um..
MC: Well. Um.. Just because I'm recording this, can I just have your number in case the um....he does try to make some sort of claim or something.
P: Yeah.
MC: Can I just have it for the record.
P: Yeah, It's 380 Romeo. Er. Yeah. It's damage only [She looks to the back of the motorcycle] Well not even damage only.
[PC Stupid is STILL refusing to comprehend that the cyclist was hit BY the front of the motorcycle from behind]
MC: Well... I'm worried that he's gonna go to his... go ah I've damaged my knee because somebody's done this and... then... but it's just...
P: Well. He said he wasn't... he said he had a graze... he said he wasn't injured. [??!]
MC: I know. People...you know what personal injury claims people are like, though.
P: Yeeeeah.
[Hello? Earth to PC Stupid]
MC: Anyway, well thanks for being there. You've saved us a lot of agro. Because I'm sure he would have put..
P: Basically all it was, I just wanted to make sure no one was injured [wrong], there's no damage, to either the bike or yourselves.
MC: He basically caught my mirror. That was a sideways thing to be honest.
[Hello? Earth to PC Stupid]
P: Yeeah.
MC: So anyway, thanks for being there.
P: No worries.
