The highway code says it's perfectly legal for cyclists to do so. The instruction for drivers making a left tuen is to look for cyclists doing that, and if there is a cyclist then they must give priority to the cyclist.
@@_Rustodian For pities sake - just be aware and forgive people their mistakes - you could see exactly what was happening here - just go with the flow instead of making a big deal out of it. Do you wonder why so many people hate cyclists? Said with good grace.
@@_Rustodian the cyclist is joining another road from a left hand junction, the van driver is already on that road. The van driver did nothing wrong on this occasion. The cyclist is just being impatient.
@@allysoncaistor3717 The revised highway code gives priority to cyclist up the inside. The van should not be driving in the marked cycle lane unnecessarily. He even waved to apologise.
Car in front clearly indicating and turns left. Cyclist fails to give way to the car. Wank panzer is ther cyclist because of their own lack of due car anad attention when cycling
Delusional idiot on a cycle films themselves riding in a dangerous and illegal manner posts the video to RU-vid to be laughed at. There only offences in the video are by the cyclists
It was a dangerous move, i.e. you put YOURSELF into danger. But looking frame-by-frame, did the driver have a phone in their hand or was it the passenger - hard to tell.
Great awareness to look over the right shoulder approaching the junction, hazard perception was on point and you stopped yourself getting hurt. Are you a motorcyclist as well by any chance? I don't cycle but I found this impressive
You may be right but if you riding like that you’re gonna end up in hospital. The graveyard is also full of people who had right of way… use your noodle
There is a blind spot on the drivers left hand rear - undertaking on the left hand side is dangerous and the cyclist ought to be more concerned about self preservation - very poor road awareness
Fair point however the Highway Code states that in this situation the Range Rover should check the cycle lane is clear before moving. A moving Cyclist has priority over a stationary vehicle about to move off. However, the amount of time passing between the lights turning green, and the car moving off, suggests that either the driver was distracted (possibly on phone) before noticing the light change - as the other lane of traffic can't go anywhere they stay put despite the green light. They can't have properly checked before moving off. The "oh, shit I can move" reaction typically means drivers move off before checking that they are clear in all directions. Admittedly, the Cyclist could and perhaps should have read that situation and slowed down just to make sure that nothing came close to an incident. You were far enough away at the time the lights changed.
@@matt_acton-varian Highway Code 74: Turning. When approaching a junction on the left, watch out for vehicles turning in front of you, out of or into the side road. If you intend to turn left, check first for other cyclists or motorcyclists before signalling. Do not ride on the inside of vehicles signalling or slowing down to turn left.
@@robertmoorcock HC74 doesn't mention moving from stationary. Rule H3, as part of the 2022 revisions, is as follows. You should not cut across cyclists, horse riders or horse drawn vehicles going ahead when you are turning in to or out of a junction, or changing direction or lane, just as you would not turn across the path of another motor vehicle. This applies whether they are using a cycle lane, a cycle track or riding ahead on the road and you should give way to them. Do not turn at a junction if to do so would cause the Cyclist, horse rider or horse drawn vehicle going straight ahead to stop or swerve. You should stop and wait for a gap in the flow of cyclists if necessary. This includes when cyclists are: -approaching, passing or moving off from a junction - moving past or waiting alongside stationary or slow moving traffic - travelling around a roundabout. This is supported by Rule 76 which denotes: If you are going straight ahead at a junction, you have priority over traffic waiting to turn into or out of the side road, unless markings indicate otherwise. It goes on to give advice when approaching from behind however H3 and 76 are relevant in this instance as both rules indicate Cyclist priority in this instance - who was going straight ahead.
@@robertmoorcock Also, Rule 74 applies only if the Cyclist is turning off like the Range Rover. Hence title is Turning, not Going Straight Ahead as per Rule 76.
if this is your channels content showing getting cut off by drivers you need to move here and ride with me. I would be absolutely shocked if anywhere in the world had ruder, more dangerous drivers than where I live.
As a cyclist, I agree with the other 2 earlier statements and will add that gesturing and using offensive language is also a misdemeanour. Unless you're signalling etc. that's a fine all day long, despite the dangerous situation (which you're partly to blame for). You had a lack of road awareness on this occasion.
As a cyclist myself I think you're in the wrong there. The green light came on way back before you apprached the stationary vehicle and they had there indicator on.
You would be wrong. The fact that they are indicating, stationary and at a green light are irrelevant. You MUST GIVE WAY when crossing a bike lane. Heres from rule 140 in the UK where this Guy is: “You should give way to any cyclists in a cycle lane, including when they are approaching from behind you - do not cut across them when you are turning or when you are changing lane (see Rule H3). Be prepared to stop and wait for a safe gap in the flow of cyclists before crossing the cycle lane.
That is certainly the case but life will be far less stressful if you back off a bit in such situations. Had you been stationary alongside them (in the bike box) then getting annoyed maybe fair enough but not just riding up alongside a moving car
@@adamthecg You are right and wrong but, in this case, I think mostly wrong. Rule 76 for cyclists “Going straight ahead. If you are going straight ahead at a junction, you have priority over traffic waiting to turn into or out of the side road, unless road signs or markings indicate otherwise (see Rule H3). Check that you can proceed safely, particularly when approaching junctions on the left alongside stationary or slow-moving traffic. Watch out for drivers intending to turn across your path. Remember the driver ahead may not be able to see you, so bear in mind your speed and position in the road.” Just because you have priority doesn’t mean you should take it and barrel into the intersection ignoring all the obvious signs that the vehicle is turning. “Check that you can proceed safely” - Nah no way I have priority!!! “Watch out for drivers intending to turn across your path” - Is this car turning left? Have they seen me? Who cares I have priority so full steam ahead!!!
@@RacerX555 Well, it's a general rule of traffic that you're never 'in the right', in the sense that you always have to do what you can to avoid accidents. But, the same is true of the cars, and saying that the cyclist is the one 'in the wrong' completely misses that. Primarily, the driver is at fault. Also, what a poorly worded rule. If traffic is waiting anyway, what's the point of having priority?
I ride myself and will undertake standing traffic if they haven't recently overtaken myself first. Recommend looking at a vehicle blind spot video or doing a cbt for a bike if you genuinely don't understand the hazards with the new rules and how many concerns have been raised.Very common knowledge for drivers. Might (should) change your own perception. Hence why cyclist get a bad name if they hit you drivers fault even if potentially not being able to see you and you weren't there a second ago. not sure thats right in the way i see things 🤦♂️
As long as I share the road with people who are being unsafe, putting me and everyone else at risk...then hell yeah, I'm going to report this criminal behaviour.
@@peteradams5857 I'm not excusing red light jumping cyclist at all but - devils advocate here, hear me out- who do they endanger? Other people? Or just themselves?
Wow that so bad that he got away with it, there was enough evidence. What I do myself is try to be as stealthy as possible, creep up to them slowly and try and capture as much scrolling or any typing as you can. The more you have of that the more likely to are to get a positive result
