That's a shocker. Can't believe the muppet switched sides and tried to come up the inside.

Just when you think you've seen it all! I'd definately report that one. For once it wasn't the Volvo!
Thankfully these pillocks are a tiny minority.
 
In a 20mph zone, the cyclist wasn't exactly hanging about either. Idiot driver.

Check out some of his other video's all equally shocking, that guy gets and gives a lot of abuse.

wow, plus anyone see the other vid of the motorbike, fairplay to the motorcyclist he stopped and came over looking in shock and kept saying sorry.

I was later today and had more traffic than I am used to plus rain. Don't know how you city commuter hack it day in day out. Guess it must be the lesser of two evils.

I do believe that there was a Viz letter suggesting that they all be fitted with a sparkler on the roof because of the way they get driven like bumper cars.

Careful!! :biggrin: There was also a big “handbags at fifty paces” argument between the old c+ forum and a load of Smart Car drivers a few years ago iirc? Something about not being able to get a cycle carrier for the back of a Smart Car but you could get a Smart Car carrier for the back of your bike...:rolleyes:

I've got an old friend who sells Smart cars for a living and his cycle carrier (yes, they do exist) broke on the way from Brighton to London. Apparently he realised there was something wrong when he could see out of his rear view mirror.

That looks like Dulwich to me. Unpredictable for cycling. 90% good (maybe they're used to living close to Herne Hill velodrome, or even women, children or, heaven forfend, men/boys who ride bikes...) but the remaining 10% make 90% of the danger. That idiot really shouldn't be allowed on the road again until they've paid the fine and lived through the driving ban.

I think the rider dealt with that really really well. Firstly, I'd have been MUCH more aggressive towards the offending driver (but that's just how I am) so the swearing I think was totally acceptable and I think alot of riders (myself included) wouldn't have held thier ground nearly as well.
