SMIDSY????

[mr_hippo]

Would you classify this as a SMIDSY?

 

[ComedyPilot]

Hard to tell, I couldn't see the driver. It could possibly be 'get out before the cyclist' and that they underestimated your speed?

 

[Globalti]

No. The driver saw you and pulled out, which us perfectly normal in most countries I visit outside the UK.

The commuting forum is that way ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

It's worth at least six pages of rant and counter rant there. This forum can't do it justice.

Not SMIDSY, just a SMIDGAF

 

[BSRU]

More likely a SMIDGAF.

+1. He pulled out and kept left so if you were going to overtake him you could. Pushy yes, SMIDSY not really.

 

[gaz]

Who knows. SMIDSY is something we hear from other people.. so without asking them how can we tell if they didn't see you?

 

[HLaB]

It looks like they just blindly followed the car in front, so it probably is SMIDSY but I would call them Sheep That said I can't make out the driver so maybe the looked and its a case of SMIDGAF.

damn! I was just going to post the same thing!

Just a another bit of arrogance on the road. I thought a SMIDSY is when you actually get hit by a vehicle.

 

[mr_hippo]

SMIDSY? NO: incident? NO!! Just a counter video to all those moronic videos that we see here Who was at fault? Not the driver but possibly me! Traffic entering the main road had priority over that on the main road so I should have stopped.
One comment off youtube - "You could quite easily have avoided that. All your own fault I reckon. In fact I bet you paid the driver to do that so you had an interesting video to post" No prizes for guessing who posted that but I will give you a clue - a Scottish flouncing ex-poster on this site!
As approach a new year, lets have no more of the close encounter videos and other non-incident videos ;no cries of "attempted murder" or "He deliberately drove at me". Do not blame others for your lack of spatial awareness. I don't care how many times you report 'incidents' to the police but be advised of two things - the boy who cried wolf and you are giving cyclists a bad name with your antics.

The 'point' was wasted here.

To repeat myself with an addition:

The commuting forum is that way ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

It's still worth at least six pages of rant and counter rant there. This forum can't do it justice.
