What do you think?

I think it is best catrikeUK and nethalus ignore each other from now on!

It's your fault, you and your dodgy mates.

 

[Riding in Circles]

Neither are you. You give me the impression that you are bitter about being rejected by McDonalds for a floor sweeping and tray clearing job!

Took you a while, you are a bit late to your own pity party.

Nice to see that like magnatom you are prepared to post your mistakes on youtube.

I believe you sound your horn at the car driver in front, while he has pedestrians still on the crossing. The green light means proceed if you are clear to do so. That says it all. Arrogant, inconsiderate and dangerous.

Got to specsavers mate, the pedestrians had cleared the crossing. Also I didn't sound my horn. The noise you can hear is actually the handbrake valve realeasing. It's a common feature on volvo buses and trucks. I only sounded my horn when he stopped in the middle of the road for no apparent reason and without indicating.

LOL - all that ranting about a perfectly legal move by the cyclist and only a "oh and the car did an illegal left turn" possibly putting several people's lives at risk. . It looks like the ped crossing light is green as well.

I don't need to see an anger management counceller thank you. And I enjoy my job. I just don't need it made difficult by ignorant people who think its acceptable to act like a complete pig on the road and push to the front of a queue.
I mean if this was a queue in a shop or for an ATM machine, and this guy just pushed in front of everyone, would you think that was ok? No, I doubt you would. But for some reason its ok for him to push ahead of me at a traffic light queue, where I am waiting in the correct lane, at the stop line, with my right hand indicator on to say that I am going right. Did that cyclist bother to indicate, no he didn't!

Nethalus, you have always impressed me when you have been on this forum in the past which is why I am quite shocked at what has materialised on here today. I hope it is just a temporary blip? I'm sure you know that being able to filter through to the front of a long queue of traffic is one of the main reasons cycling in a city is so convenient? Can you really imagine where cyclists just sit in traffic jams all day long? We'd never get to work!!!

 

[magnatom]

We'd never get to work!!!

Do you do any work anyway?

 

[nethalus]

It's your fault, you and your dodgy mates.

I actually agree with that. Magnatom you started this!

I actually agree with that. Magnatom you started this!

I blame the Roman's, what have they ever done for us ?

To some extent. I shouldn't have posted the link to bloodbus, oops! But I generally post links to videos on here that I see about cyclist and so I posted this one. You've posted your fair share of my videos on bloodbus anyway, so it's pot calling kettle.....

I hope you are keeping well anyway. Glad your back behind the wheel. Just be nicer to cyclists...

The aquaduct?

You are absolutely right. They should have built cycle lanes instead...

 

[4F]

The aquaduct?

OK apart from that

It don't normally happen. Most of the time cyclists either stay back or they dismount their cycles and wheel them across the road. I thought this guy was a bit arrogant for pushing to the front of the queue. To be fare I have had someone on in a pratmobile car do worse than this. They came up on the ahead only lane then turned across infront of me as I was turning right. Was nearly a nasty accident.

There is another vid which is coming up to those lights. It has the same van in it which makes the left turn.

I wonder if the Leeds bus company knows he is posting their camera footage on YouTube ?

I think the problem is that you focused on the wrong thing. Filtering is fine. However, I think he did make mistakes. If he wanted to turn right he should have stopped further to the right in the lane, and an indication (although not required as it is a marked right turn lane) would be polite.

He has also crossed the stop line. There are different views on this, personally I would avoid it and if safe stop behind you. Other differ in their views on this. It is a bit of a gray area.
