cyclist hits taxi and walks away

[QUOTE 3319551, member: 45"]Cyclist appears to collide with side of car. Driver asks him where he's going, repeatedly saying that he hit his car. Driver grabs back wheel of bike as cyclist tries to leave. Cyclist drunkenly muttering for the driver to let go. Driver says he's going to call police. It then sounds like the driver asks a passer by to call the police, and passer by agrees. Cyclist walks off.[/QUOTE]
There's some audio that's quite deliberately removed. I'd really like to hear what that is.

Episode 6 has the driver aggressively tailgating and blasting his horn then jumping an amber light. light

actually it shows him spend 40s (plus some we don't see before the video starts) behind some twunt driving like a twunt, cabbie thinks driver is fiddling with sat nav - ALL the driving i see in the rest of the 3-4 videos i've looke at is very good, don't mischaracterize to try to defend the cyclist

Do you think if you leant on the horn inches from a bumper and jumped a red light on your test you'd pass? This cabbie also posted on LFGSS, where he was ripped apart. It's fake, and he's a rubbish driver.

I didn't see any collision. I saw a cabbie steal someone's bike, a bike he claims is at Charing Cross cop shop lost property, so that cabbie lied to the old bill too.

It does look more and more 'staged' after watching it a few times (in bewilderment)

I suspect that's radio calls. I can't see anything during those times that suggests the audio would be relevant.

The cyclist is cycling incredibly slowly, almost in slow motion. All very weird. Drunkeness seems the most likely explanation.

Other mind altering substances are available.

The cyclist appears somewhat detached in his behaviour. This could be for any number of reasons. He could have a medical condition I.e diabetes or mental health issues or he could be under the influence of alcohol or recreational drugs. I would have thought that if he was fully compus mentis his reaction may have been more active.
The taxi driver appeared to be considerate and careful in his driving. I have, however only seen this video and none of the others he may have posted on you tube.

There is no evidence the guy was drunk, he looked to be cycling ok on the build up. Maybe he just thought wtf since the driver wouldnt let go of the bike which no one has mentioned.

My only very slight suspicion is that (given that some feel the whole video is staged) that the radio calls may be some kind of direction.
I agree overall that that his driving in the preamble is fine, though I do think he deliberately blocks the bike path. The whole video is a bit strange though.

 

[Leodis]

I've just watched it again and we really cannot tell what happened at all. We have the driver aware of the camera hence why when grabbing the bike is out of camera shot.

I agree with Sara is very odd, for all we know the driver staged it.

If the cyclist had a number plate all this would be irrelevant.

Anyone recognise this guy?

There's a mega thread on lfgss about this. Some bloke sock puppeting who turned out to be the taxi driver. That's not you is it?

Hmmm what about exhaustion? I've ended up riding that slowly after a bad shift at work. (Devil's advocate to a degree)

Few years back we had this fella come into the restaurant and queue for food. His behaviour was very odd and a number of people made comments about "drunks", "weirdo" etc. I saw this and thought "this man is ill" so went up to him, put a hand on his shoulder and asked if he was OK. He gave no answer and sort of shuffled towards the people in front.

All of a sudden he went down like a sack of you know what. One customer half caught him mid fall, a staff member rushed for a chair. We sat him down and after a first aider came over he started to come around. Turned out he was diabetic, had low blood sugar and didnt feel well so had rushed down to us to get some emergency calories in him.

Medical peeps checked him over, we gave him food and he was fine after that.

I also agree the taxi driver appears to be driving OK. I agree with Copper cyclist about the parked cars blocking access. I also agree muting would probably be to protect data on the radio or sat nav directions to fare's home etc
