He took his foot of the brake as he passed the lights..therefore one (with intelligence) would assume he wanted to accelerate (after the lights)
I don't know and have never heard of anyone taking their foot of the brake when trying desperately to avoid an accident.
1. He was decelerating as the crash was not severe, there would have been smoke, air bag deployment and debris everywhere I'd he hit that fence at the speed he turned the corner.
2. He was forcing his way thorough and had a foot on the brake to maintain a modicum of control in his speeding frenzy
3. No one was rushing to his aid, therefore all the drivers that witnessed the collision believed he was a speeding arsehole
4. The passenger just got out and was not thanking anyone or running around to check on the child or driver, therefore was obviously not impressed with the driver at all
5. If the drivers brakes had failed, he could wouldn't have turned the car at speed - he would have tried to go straight ahead.
6. If he had been driving that fast and the brakes had failed - he shouldn't have been speeding in the first place - would have won a Darwin Award in my opinion.
7. Looked like a chav prick in a chav prick car
I doubt they'd do it to another car, so why do it to a bike? Many will no doubt say because it's 'only a bike', which is frankly no justification whatsoever. The Highway Code clearly stipulates the requirements for passing vulnerable road users - nowhere included in that text does it say you can pass as close as you want whilst inventing your own rules.
The cyclist is clearly in primary to detect crap passing and to retain better positioning. You can clearly see the hazards: wet, dark roads, parked vehicles ahead (no, the cyclist is not required to ride in the gutter and wait - how stupid). You can also see two lanes - all the other drivers are passing in the other lane. What's so hard about giving room and using the other lane? Everything, apparently. So screw everyone else, I'll just squeeze past in the vain hope I don't crush you under a ton of steel. Yeah, that sounds like a fair interpretation of the rules - NOT.
Nice legal plate layout, too.
