Needs reporting

Oh. Must have misread. Jetlag and small screen equalled Karen!!

I read it as that too.

Terrible driving by the car, but by the looks of that video the traffic lights were on red and the cyclist doesn't look like he's stopping... Or I might be reading too much into it.

Is their two lanes to the right of the cyclist? If so it may be the other drivers fault for cutting the audi up?

Either way I'd be reporting it to the police.

The cyclist does stop - if he had not, he could have been hit by the black car! That said, he must have been at the front of the ASL or just slightly ahead of it (I favour the former).

There is a single (20mph limit) lane to the right of the cyclist.

I'd say the white audi driver is in a rush and thinks he can undertake on a junction.I would have definitely reported this but I would also have released it to the M.E.N as this needs showing to people how bad some driver can be

Yeah, they do stop, but not sure if they stop due to the Audi or were stopping anyway. Driver could have thought that cyclist was carrying on possibly. Not trying to make excuses, it is terrible driving, just realy trying to say it's not as clear cut as some videos you see online showing terrible driving.

Agreed. But I expect that it will not stop some people from still defending the driver, and somehow finding someway of laying some of the blame on the cyclist.

That should be sent to the police, that is terrible driving

Post 20 is a half-hearted attempt.

This is GMP we are talking about. They won't do anything. CBA.

I think it's absolutely clear he was stopping anyway. He's stopped pedalling, is braking only and stops right at the front of the advanced stop line. Perfect. It' s only the fact that he's turning right that seems to save his life, as it leaves enough room for the cockwomble in the Audi to speed past on his left. You can see the cyclist start to turn right at the end of the video.

The Audi covers 33m in 1.79 seconds (thanks, Google Earth!) which is 41mph, going around a bend, into a 20 limit zone, while overtaking a car who is already doing the speed limit.

I'd say that was pretty clear-cut.
