Deliberate or not?

[magnatom]

My new camera is showing its worth at night. Here is my first video of interest at night. (Remember to select the high quality option!)

So what do you think? Did this taxi driver accidentally drift toward me, or was it deliberate? he had plenty of space to his left, and towards the end of the clip you can see him move over as he approaches the junction.

I didn't want to move any further to the left myself as there are cobbles at the side of the road.

Looked pretty deliberate to me. Another muppet on the roads.

Did you have any lights on ? My money would be that he was on his phone

 

[magnatom]

Phone is a possibility. So do we have any image enhancement experts on here who could maybe enhance it to see if he is using his phone. They can do it on spooks!

FFFF, funny you should mention that. When I get a chance I will be posting another video when I get a chance. It has a running title of

How many cyclists can you see here....

I need to make it a little more catchy!

What's the light triangular thing in the road, just about where you passed? A gully cover? If it's something raised from the road surface, I'd say he was aiming to straddle it and assumed you'd move over to give him space.

If not, I'd say it's a pretty safe bet that he was dreaming, half asleep, checking the meter, counting his takings, on the radio, on the phone or otherwise doing anything but watching where he was driving.

Accidental, but what a twit.

I think carelessness, combined with a cyclist will stay in the gutter mentality.

Deliberate

 

[domtyler]

Are you sure that you didn't do anything to piss him off off camera?

 

[tdr1nka]

I'd say deliberate. In my experience on roads like that motorists are fairly defiant about not giving up their road, no matter what the law says.

Yes, I rode my bike on his bit of road! Hey Dom, where have you been hiding? Haven't had you criticise me for a while

Yeah, sorry. I've been busy fixing the credit crunch.

You didn't do a very good job, did you, or is it a works in progress...

 

[catwoman]

Deliberate.

I'd guess that he took the line that suited him with total disregard for you, assuming he bothered to see you

I agree. He may need glasses too.............
