I might be appearing on TV next week

[Matthew_T]

The episode should be about this video:

View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cmyJuwQuRg

I also did an interview that they requested about it (talked about what happened, how I felt, etc). The interview I did myself and just answered the questions they had given me so there is very little chance that they can twist my own words around.
It would be very interesting to see exactly what the programs view of the incident is.

Even if they do twist things around and make me appear the one to blame, I dont really care. It has almost been a year now since it happened and the only contact I have with the video is when I do the weekly clean up of abusive comments. I dont like watching any of my videos again as it kind of makes me cringe.

Myiplayer.com will give you a live stream.

I dont seem to be able to get that. It talkes about going on a forum and I cannot be bothered with doing all that. The EU site doesnt have the channel on either.

No, I did give permission.

Ask them for a copy direct - the people making the prog are likely nice and happy to send you something they've spent time creating with your vid.

All due respect on that one, I've got more sympathy with the car driver there. I disagree with the attitude of both participants but they kind of goaded each other unnecessarily and that's an outcome you'll often get.

I feel the same way, I don't know why but I do.

Mistakes have been made and learnt from. As a result, noone has ever got out of their car to have a go at me since this.

one of these days a helmet cam wearing urban warrior is going to end up with a knife in the chest. For goodness sake!! so he cut the corner, poor driving I agree but was it really necessary to point it out to him? did he endanger you in any way? I do on average 30k miles a year on business and I see some stuff that would make your nose bleed I don't feel it my place to have a go though. STOP trying to change the world it aint gonna happen. There are good and bad drivers, there are good and bad cyclists, there are good and bad in every walk of life, it has always has been like this and it always will be.

This thread is NOT to comment on the video. If you wish to do that, head over to the comments in the video page. This happened last June and I do not want more people on here giving criticizm when it is not relevant nor needed.
This doesnt just go for pplpilot but everyone on here. The video has been discussed already so do not bring up the past. This thread is to discuss the program not the incident. Why do you think I posted it in the cafe?

Nothing new there then.

If you don't like criticism, don't post on Internet forums.

Not much help needed there

I don't like watching your videos either, but something about the tragic nature of them compels me to!

now now... Matthew does suggest the proper place to post criticism on that particular vid.... and that is on the comments section of the video.

too many threads are diverted because some opinionated sod can't help but stick their oar in.

...
STOP trying to change the world it aint gonna happen. There are good and bad drivers, there are good and bad cyclists, there are good and bad in every walk of life, it has always has been like this and it always will be.

so you're suggesting we should do nothing about the 'bad' side of life?

As Matthew said, he's learnt from the incident and moved on... as for the aggresive driver, what's he learnt i wonder?

I think we should get this thread back on topic before it completely derails into another anti-Matthew thread?
