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....
There was a cycle lane to your left. Use it.
No need to adopt an overtaking position so far from the parked truck. But by doing so you were in the middle of the carriageway.
Very bad driving lots of fighting with other drivers should get kicked off the roads
