"The driver told his insurance he "wasn't moving at impact"

I see no proof that the driver is a liar.

Look at the title of the thread, the driver lied to his insurer and denied he was moving when he hit the stationary cyclist. The driver is a liar.

There is no proof that the driver deliberately lied. He may have been mistaken. I would expect his recollection of events to be imperfect and the cyclist's account (which is all we have to go on) to be biased.

I'm also not convinced the cyclist was stationary at the moment of impact.

TBH after the barrage of abuse the cyclist gave the drive its no wonder his recollection of evens were not been 100%

Its the drivers fault for pulling out from a side road into a main road. But its the cyclists fault for causing the accident.

To my mind the drivers mentality was:
Nothing coming, let's cautiously pull out further.
And the cyclists mentality was:
Junction approaching, I have right of way, no need to slow down.

"I think the cyclist is at fault cos he got cross when an inattentive driver drove a ton of metal into him while looking the other way"

Who said that? Oh and you haven't answered post #74 yet either.

The cyclist didn't cause the accident, the driver did, by pulling out without looking properly.
The cyclist could have avoided it, but they didn't cause it.

[QUOTE 3474557, member: 45"]That still doesn't answer my question. I asked you what you thought the driver would have got away with.

[/QUOTE]

Coughing up the money his insurer paid when they realised the driver was at fault. The driver said he wasn't at fault, his insurer disagreed.

To be fair, it didn't look like that to me, not beyond a fair bit of doubt at any rate.
And the cyclists behaviour is seriously bizarre it must be said.

Handbags at dawn it would seem, the guy got his money so why post it on YouTube unless he is attention seeking.

[dodgy]

Surprised at how few comments have appeared under the video on Youtube.

Entire incident summed up in one easy sentence. I like economy of words

The cyclist has anger issues. Imagine him in a car...
