I Called This Antagonistic 

Absolutely right. She was very sensible. As a cyclist I appreciate drivers like her.

100% agree as a daily commuter cyclist. Nothing here would even remotely register as aggressive or intimidating. Adrian goads the Audi driver with his comment as he passes her.

As a cyclist, neither of those overtakes would have been necessary as I would have sat behind them at the first set of lights 😂 But I agree, nothing wrong there. Particularly the Audi

TBF the Audi was further back... But if the Merc was a little irritated, I'm not surprised

I’m not anti cyclists, I’m anti idiot and there are idiots on both sides of the fence, idiot drivers and idiot cyclists! If motor vehicles should give cyclists sufficient space when they overtake why is this not also applied to cyclists overtaking motor vehicles? To put yourself in a dangerous position is idiotic. A motor vehicle overtakes a cyclist, stops at lights, as an example, the cyclist pushes to the front of queue where the motor vehicle then has to overtake again. I’ve experienced the cyclist laughing at drivers stopped at lights etc. as they squeeze past to get to the front and then the process starts all over again.

I actually thought he was turning right. How wrong I was. When you're one of the most vulnerable road users, it's not a good idea to play fast and lose in that fashion. From the remainder of the video I think he was trying to provoke enough of a reaction to report to the police.

​@@toxictony4230 I also presumed he was turning right. There were only three cars ahead of him - far too much of a risk to filter past those and for no gain except putting himself in further danger by making them pass him.

Brilliant comment, you beat me too it, I couldn't see anything wrong with the drivers, but Adrian was definitely out to antagonise, and annoy other road users.

Adrian = male version of a - karen

Fud 😂, not heard that word in ages 😊

Same here. Well said.

People who make a living by complaining will always find something to complain about, even when there isn't anything.

@EdStraker720 Under 2.5K deaths in the UK (still far too many!) but over a million world wide - that's right vehicles kill over twice as many people as malaria and is the eighth leading cause of death.

@EdStraker720 I'm not denying any of that, and the statistics are awful. My point was that I just don't understand why you'd spend your journey shouting at people. It's the complete opposite of how I ride and I don't get to my destination with my blood pressure through the roof (unless it was a particularly hilly ride 😂).

@EdStraker720If it’s that dangerous, why do it? It’s like going into shark infested waters and then blaming other people for getting your leg bitten off lol.

@@DorsetSaferRoadsI thought you weren’t watching his videos anymore? 😆

@EdStraker720 I don’t get your point, so people that go to the gym but drive are now lazy? 🤔

​@@DorsetSaferRoadsnone of the drivers did bad things, Adrian. You've got a chip on your shoulder you'd be best off losing. As a slower moving road user why would you overtake stationary traffic waiting at a red light, force your way into the queue only to then hold up the flow of traffic cos you're so slow?! You're an entitled idiot.

Based on his reply here I'd say that's a no 😂 Lost cause I think.

@@DorsetSaferRoadsah bless Adrian, did people used to take you seriously?

@@DorsetSaferRoads is this the kind of attitude you have towards the people you represent? Or is this RU-vid nonsense just a release for you?

@@DorsetSaferRoadsNo. I think you have to study the Highway Code again and retake your cycling proficiency test. You have done these, haven’t you? If not, why not? If you haven’t, you shouldn’t be let loose on the road. You’re a threat to other road users.

I agree, filtering means that you are just going to block them later. It is inconsiderate.

The only problem with slowing or stopping on a bike to let someone out is because you haven't got big red brake lights on the rear of your bike, vehicles behind are less likely to notice you have slowed or stopped in the middle of the road unexpectedly until they are potentially too close to you.

@@tconnolly9820old school hand signals for slowing down work well even if the vehicle behind doesn’t understand the meaning it draws attention to you, I do hand signals on my motorcycle in busy traffic situations and it’s surprising how you get noticed instantly even with brake and indicators on.

@@alankemp1970 I have never heard of "Scorpion" hand signals. I put the term into Google and nothing relevant to riding or driving showed up. If you can find a link please do share because I am curious. When I am cycling, I try to use very clear hand signals. Arms extended straight out right or left for up to 5 seconds to indicate direction. Less if it's a more unplanned manoeuvre for any reason. I hate cyclists who give a one second limp hand signals barely off their handlebars because it's so short and barely noticeable a driver behind can easily miss it if not looking directly at the cyclist at that moment. I also do use the outstretched right arm and palm facing down waving to indicate slowing or stopping at times when appropriate. But I have found this to be sometimes ignored by following traffic, sometimes cutting past me on my left if I'm in prime position despite the reason for me slowing or stopping in front of me. An elderly pedestrian crossing in the most memorable and dangerous case. Drivers can be as aggressive as any entitled cyclist and far more dangerous. That's why I would be reluctant to use that kind of slowing or stopping hand signals with an apparent clear road in front of me because an aggressive driver could cut past me perhaps directly into the car I was allowing to pull out in front of me from the right as in this video. I have mirrors on my handlebars and keep a good eye on what's happening behind me. With traffic behind I will not stop or slow in the road to accommodate other cars or pedestrians for these reasons. I'll let a following vehicle behind do that more safely than I can. I'm sorry if someone thinks I'm an entitled cyclist for not doing this anymore but the dangers unfortunately outweigh the politeness I may be attempting to spread. If there's nothing close behind though, I will happily let pedestrians cross and car's out in front of me because it's always better to have them accelerating away in front of me than trying to overtake me from behind.

@@tconnolly9820 Yeah, that's why I said "if at all possible". I thought it was obvious that included doing it only if safe. And as @alankemp1970 already noted, handsignals are available - and they are shown in the Highway Code.

He does more then me because with me I don't watch channels that have people who act like this.

So somebody saying you did something well with a "nice job" an acceptable reply is to call them a c**t? May have to check my works HR policy before i go back. But think of how this cyclist will now perceive drivers after this interaction with a motorist

​@@andyp315It is the way he said it. It wasn't intended as a compliment.

@@andyp315 You have to be trolling.

@@bestintheworld568or an Adrian alt-account?

@@fetzie23 having “conversed” with Adrian on another comment thread, the logic used is very similar.

'Cycling toxic'. Whose winding people up unnecessarily now?

@@paulhayes6920 🤣 Sensitive darling

That's a good attitude. There's too many people out there who want to invite confrontation into their lives and because it's an inherently unhinged behaviour they're all playing a dangerous game with each other. Most of them are just a little unhinged/need a little validation, but some of 'em are severely unstable and willing to escalate well-beyond what you might expect based on interactions with most _reasonable_ people. Some people are just looking to have an _n-bomb moment_ (as the Boondocks called it). Why be the person to share that moment with them?

You can't win with zealots. They're always right, you see. And the rest of us are always just one word or one action away from being denounced.

His point is that when they did overtake legitimately and safely, they then had to stop again in the queue for the traffic lights as he went past them again. That overtake was ultimately pointless but the cyclist is an aggressive and annoying c u next Tuesday himself who is going out of his way to continually provoke aggressive reactions in response.

@@tconnolly9820 Well, wouldn't you want to overtake that Tw*t so you could avoid spending more time looking at him than you needed to?

​@@tconnolly9820I agree with your comment except the part that the overtake was pointless coz it wasn't dosnt matter if he had to stop at the next lights he still got past the slower vehicle I mean the alternative is for you as a cyclist to pottering about with a line o 10 cars behind u because u think your too important to be overtaken and that line will just get bigger and bigger overtaking slower vehicles is called flow of traffic

@@christopherhammond7258 I didn't mean that it was pointless at all to overtake the bike. As a driver you have to make progress safely and with respect to cyclists and others. I just meant that after he overtook then literally about three seconds later the driver had to start braking again. Personally when I'm cycling on open roads and streets amidst traffic I'm keeping a constant check on traffic behind me using my two handlebars mirrors. If I'm holding up traffic in an area where I can't safely be overtaken, if it's practicable I will regularly pull over in a safe space for me to let them pass me safely. Granted, occasionally when I do this there is such a flow of traffic that I can still be waiting for an opportunity to safely rejoin the traffic 30 seconds or a minute later. I know there are many cyclists like the peddlin' micky who will practically have a mini stroke at the idea of not holding your rightful place on the road but I'm a firm believer in showing respect and courtesy towards other road users AND expecting the same courtesy and respect in return. But if you don't give it out it's hard to expect it from others. People who are mean only expect meanness from others. It's better to be disappointed by the failings of others than to be an example of that disappointment yourself.

Yep. Bet he was a full on lockdown supporter. Mandatory jabs, face nappies etc.

Dudes going to end up road kill, hes picking a fight whilst in the most vulnerable position

Fuel's expensive. Buddy in the van was just hoping to save some fuel by drafting.

Wow. Thats a pretty strong assumption. I know plenty of people who put in more miles on their bike than their car. They opt to do most of their travelling on two wheels.

I suspect his bike costs more than my car.

I can afford a car but I choose not to own one, because I don't need to own one. It's not just about money.

He is wanting the attention, and he is getting it.

Sometimes those very videos help the police to identify the poster as a criminal, and sometimes it can be gathered for use as evidence. There's a lot of things that should not be on social media before we start on driving/riding issues.

What?

You mean the one we saw for about 6 seconds?

I would have looked to slow or stop to let the car out and free up traffic going the other way, but few do. Impatience isn’t confined to cyclists - the car following didn’t let them out either. Adrian shows very poor cycling skills and an even worse attitude in this video but most cyclists and the huge majority of car drivers I encounter are not a problem in the slightest. Unfortunately you get the occasional idiot, irrespective of their chosen mode of transport.

No I’m not.

@@DorsetSaferRoadsthought you weren’t watching any more?

A better question would be why? You know you’re just going to hold up every single car you pass afterwards and cause people to perform overtakes. Seems like a dick move tbh, but never in this clip does the guy say you shouldn’t do it, only that its as pointless, although id argue more pointless, than the cars overtaking the cyclist only to wait at a red light.

​@@AshleyNeal-JustCycling follow up question then, what is your view on filtering like that?

Not what I heard. Just don't hold others up to ridicule for what you do yourself and expect nobody to notice because you're operating different modes.

I've been using my bicycle as my main form of transport for a few years, and I have rarely experienced any bad behaviour by motorists. Sure there have been some problems, but I've also observed many food delivery cyclists behaving much worse.

@@igotes I'm glad you're experience is positive. I cycle into a large city from the suburbs. Incidentally, If an electric vehicle with two wheels can exceed 15mph, and/or doesn't need to be peddled for the electric motor to be engaged then it's legally a moped or m/cycle and the rider needs a helmet, tax, Insurance, etc, so delivery riders are nothing to do with me and you shouldn't compare yourself or me to them any more than you would compare me to a motorcyclist.

@@paulhayes6920 I wasn't comparing them to you, just describing my personal experience.
