00:20 SHIT over-take. Clearly not giving sufficient room (at least 1 metre). Cyclist had to avoid pot-hole..what if they'd sweved or slipped? Blood, broken bones or worse.
00:44 What is this..a two-for-one deal on selfishness regarding NOT entering the ASL? You had plenty of time to stop and stay out of it. What were you trying to do: intentionally impede traffic; nameley the cyclist?
03:14 Again, a horrendous over-take: simply too close, and on an uneven surface. You can literally feel the front of the car cm away from the back wheel.
03:20 What the hell? As if the silver car over-taking wasn't bad enough, we now get the Volvo driver cutting the cyclist up so they can beat them to stationary traffic..again, on an uneven road surface. Not the brake lights on as the driver passes the cyclist. That over-take was aggressive, dangerous, and altogether needless. Funny how the driver gave the vehicles a LOT more room than they gave the cyclist.. I wonder why.
These two idiot drivers are clearly not driving in accordance with the conditions - it's not a race-track, and if they can't or won't respect that fact then really, what other option is there other than for them to re-take a test? No, the design of that road isn't very good and neither is the state of the road surface..hence all the more reason to apply caution especially when you're supposed to be sharing the road with vulernable road users!!
Mike, staying left risks being cut up across the box junction, especially if the over-taker puts you in their blind spot. All this is made worse by the fact the exit cuts and apex..wherever you get an apex you get an increased risk of being sandwiched between a vehicle and the gutter. So the cyclist might have stayed in the right (also ahead) lane to make themself more visible to other road users. Hope this helps mate.
The "I'm in charge" comment was brilliant. Must be someone who is used to getting their own way.
At the junction where the driver confronted the cyclists, the cyclist should have really taken the left lane as both lanes had arrows for straight ahead and I would say the same if the cyclist was a car. But having said that, I still think the car driver is a twat.
