Cameras don't make you invincible or immune from attacks, if they get out, kick fuck out of you and also steal your camera what will you do then? You wont get the same response with a text only, no proof story! What if they didn't attack you and they had a camera? Then you would be getting done for criminal damage
Yeah, the Peugeuot came from a single lane to a dual carriageway and was drifting to the left lane, which he should have had a clear path do as no vehicle is allowed to undertake him. Meanwhile motorcyclist undertakes him while using a lane for left turn only, and then he has the nerve to honk his horn at the Peugeot. Poor judgement from the Motorcyclist and he deserved all he got.
As the m/c was using the bus lane (which is permitted) they have a right to travel across the roundabout in the left lane. When they exited the car driver cut them up (the m/c was also in the blind spot) - shame on both for that.
Following this the m/c uses his horn (to let the car driver know he's there) and then gestures at the car driver (some basic road rage). What happens next is wrong. The car driver continues to cut up the m/c - this is potentially lethal and is very bad driving.
When they stop at the lights, the car driver has bullied his way in front of the m/c. The m/c is angry and kicks the car to let them know (this is not right but understandable) the car driver and passenger then get out of the car (very quickly! they must have agreed this before they stopped) and they lay into th m/c in a case of GBH.
The driver was wrong in using the car as a weapon and forcing the m/c out of the way. Clear as day. The driver and passenger are also wrong in assualting the m/c.
The m/c is wrong in kicking the car and not backing off when the car intially cut in front of him.
All in I'd say the car driver is more in the wrong than the m/c.

There are pro's and con's here for both rider and driver, in my eye's the only thing the biker did wrong was kick the car BUT understandable due to the circumstances ..Everyone thinks its equal for cars and bikes, are they insane? Bikes and bikers are more vulnerable by far, what the car driver did on the roundabout was not use lane discipline, OK, not great but all the rider did was ALERT him that he was there, OK the finger was excessive but what the car driver does next is near attempted murder with a motor vehicle, END OF, if he'd knocked him off, it could have been anything from a sore leg to murder , trust me I know!, the kick of the car maybe a little OTT but they seemed to have it in for him regardless, I'm local and i would urge the rider to give the video to the law, I'm now aware of the tubby driver and his fwend and will find him in good time!. Live camera feed is a great thing ! .
You were in the wrong lane, you accelerated to put yourself into an unsafe position, you then made a lunge towards him then switched lanes right behind him, then you beep your horn at him as if he's in the wrong and then you kick his car? I agree with the driver, who do you think you are? You need to retake your test mate.
Dangerously stupid start of undertake on the exit of the roundabout. (I red the turn with enough time to of backed off) Motorcycle rider should of backed off when cut off. Simple rule DON'T UNDERTAKE drivers are not looking for it. A horn blast or two to wake him up is fine but kicking a car is aggressive and was hardly likely to get him a thank you card. Although i question weather enough time elapsed between the kick and the doors opening to say they hadn't already decided to give him a talking to.
Thanks for reminding me that suicidal bikers are out there.
BTW given the time between kick and passenger door opening they had decided to have a word if not assault the rider when they stopped. So its a clear case of assault/affray. Only question to who put the first blow in but that's for the other witnesses to say.
It could of been a plesant ride if the rider wasn't so agressive
So, the biker used several bus lanes, last I knew motorbikes aren't buses, cut across some chevrons, you have to stay outside them, went straight on from a left turn only lane on the iskand and then tried to undertake the Peugeot on exit of the island? Then after all that kicks the car, although the Peugeot driver should maybe have given more room at the end but on the other hand it look as if the biker was just about to pull in front of him to get round the cars waiting at the lights. So all in all the biker is mainly at fault here but the Peugeot driver shouldn't have attacked the him. But what did he expect?
You don't have to stay outside chevrons if bordered by a broken line but it's a strong warning to do so; if they're bordered by a solid white line you mustn't enter that area.
@Donny (1st comment on here) if you read the highway code the left hand lane enables you to turn left or go straight on unless specifically signed otherwise (for example if on the ground it says left turn only). The more you know!
Not sure I've interpreted this correctly, the biker approaches the roundabout in the wrong lane (land turn only) but goes straight on, the Peugeot driver is in the correct lane on entry to the roundabout and in the correct lane on exit.
He gets two horn beeps for doing nothing wrong, then to add insult it injury the biker gives him the finger. Driver sees a little red mist as he's done nothing wrong (at this stage) and overtakes the bike a little too close essentially giving him the finger in return.
Looks like this is the end of the exchange until the disgruntled inexperienced rider kicks the chaps car... What on earth did he expect?
The biker caused this by riding badly, tooting ignorant to his own error, gave the driver the bird and then kicked his car, then comes on here to complain.
At 2:21 why were you keeping to the left of your lane when you could clearly see the car on the left lane would want to drift out slightly?
I didnt see any signs allowing motorbikes to use the bus lane!
At 4:04 you are in the left hand lane which is clearly marked on the road as left turn only, however you continued straight over at the roundabout accelerating up the inside of the black peugeot that was resuming the left hand lane, you were in the wrong to be accelerating up the inside of the peugeot and then beeping, then at 4:22 you are clearly swearing at the driver with your middle finger.
Peugeot then in the wrong pulls past you at lights.
You then in the wrong kick his car.
No wonder the peugeot driver is pissed of your as bad a driver as he is a hot head!
I dont condone violence or bad driving but maybe this experience will make you think next time you decide to ignore road rules, cut up the inside of others, swear at other drivers or kick other peoples cars!
That was just stupid and could've easily been avoided if you had just been in the other lane, or read the situation better and held back a bit.
Shocking driving by the peugeot exitng the roundabout in the middle of the road.speeding up and nearly knocking you off, but you made the situation worse. Beeping is ok to warn others that you're there, but do go overboard with it as it's aggressive which lead to the shouting and you with the finger which obviously just escalates in to more anger. What's kicking the car going to achieve? if someone kicked your bike would you be happy? Think about your actions.
In a way you were both to blame, and can take a alot from this video. I don't agree that they should've attacked you.
And just because you have a camera on you doesn't mean someone will not kick your head in, a lot of cyclists use them now and think they are the law ,or they are safe because they're filming, there's a lot of nutters out there that don't care.
Be safe :-)
Obviously the idiot in the Peugeot was in the wrong; should have chosen the right-hand lane (even though the road was already narrowing), and speeding up like that, nearly knocking the rider off, then attacking him - not acceptable at all. Should be arrested and banned from driving for that. But the biker/moped rider could've been a bigger man and not tooted the driver in the first place, or kicked his car - doesn't help. I'm on his side, but wasn't he in a left-only lane to begin with, anyway?
deserves to lose his car for assaulting a motorycylist. also needs to be send to anger managment
