Why? Driver drove at a vulnerable road user who also had priority. One had to back down, why not the one who was in the wrong and was bullying their way through with the risk of injuring the other for being assertive?

 

[rideswithmoobs]

Because he spoke like a prick

 

[Saluki]

I have done the same thing. Although once I went through my gap, I said 'thank you' to the driver, in a polite tone.

 

[rideswithmoobs]

Really is no need. All the petty crap over whose piece of road, whose right of way, cock fighting in the street over nothing when people are blowing us up and killing us. Get a grip on life and treat each other with respect

Hmm. Driver in the wrong, but we all make mistakes.

I'd have just slowed up and waved him through myself, but that's because I wouldn't have been battling Strava.

Disagree. It's not about which side of the road and who got there first but he drove AT a vulnerable road user.

 

[Spinney]

And he didn't shout or get sweary...

He drove at a gap not at a vulnerable road user unless I missed them shouting out the window 'I'm driving straight for you m*****f*****'
Who has ALWAYS given way when the obstruction is on there side ?
The cyclist was arrogant and up his arse trying to prove a point. Well done, another motorist who hates cyclist. A bit like the number of car drivers who hate us 'thugs' who ride motorbikes with our disregard for speed limits......I know, I will pop a wheelie as the lights turn red and accelerate off at high speed in a 30 mph zone......huh that told them didn't it. I win I win

All such petty bollocks.

[QUOTE 4015602, member: 9609"]no she didn't, no evidence of that whatsoever. she may of simply misjudged the cyclist speed and made a minor error.
A good rider / driver is tolerant of other road users mistakes, it was obvious well back that the car had committed itself, the cyclist could have simply eased off and avoided the conflict, but no, he had to pedal into the confict then act like a drama queen[/QUOTE]
Actually the cyclust was much further back from the parked car than the driver than I realised.

 

[Dayvo]

All such pRetty bollocks.

Ah!

 

[nickyboy]

Sure the car driver made a mistake. But then the cyclist acted like a prick. The car driver tried to move a bit to the side to let the cyclist through when the cyclist blocked his way. But the cyclist wanted to make a point and forced the reverse

And he's got an irritating voice
