onlyme "cycling side by side which although allowed is blatantly abusing other road users".
If you bother to read the Highway Code, you will see it gives in rule 66 the situations where you should ride in single file: "never ride more than two abreast, and ride in single file on narrow or busy roads and when riding round bends". The road was not especially narrow / busy / bendy, so the normal maximum of two side by side would apply.

There's also a part 2 to this. Do to a confused sat nav I left the motorway at the next junction and rejoined. Guess who I caught up with 8 mins later travelling in convoy? They were a good 1/2 mile apart when I exited. Don't think they were expecting me to reappear. Notice the bmw brake lights as he sees my car appear behind

Ignore the date stamp on the clip. Finally managed to upload the clip so you can judge for yourselves

I hate the word accident. We should use 'collision' or 'crash' unless it's proven that there was no way to avoid the incident. Accident implies that there is no blame. Hope the police get rid of these scammers.

My honest impression after seeing 1000's of comments and video's is that, the Highway Code needs updating. The Code has - in some people's mind - effectively become a license to kill. The devil is in the detail: some drivers interpret "should not" as "can", despite the level of danger involved. Why is this so? Because law is an ass and it doesn't want to cope with the workload of many, many bad drivers being brought to justice more severely than they would having been let off with a "talking to" or a "caution". Most people don't over-take through pinch points but some do, and they do it with impunity because the law lets them..

Where or when did you look / check before taking primary?
I'm all for vehicles giving cyclists enough room but you should have been in the cycle lane then before "overtaking" the parked HGV you should check behind before maneuveringinto primary or overtaking parked vehicle.
Yes the car was too close but the cyclist failed also - cannot vote unless the cyclist and his bike details are uploaded also.
Can't have one rule for "you" etc....

Yes it's wrong, but I'd also like to point out that foot-way is very wide. Let it go?
