LA66 FFG - school run mum ignores parent & child ON zebra crossing £100 + 3 points, 20190204 

Me too.

@@themitskyI think you give cyclists a good name. Signed ~ a car driver who sees most cyclists behaving like tools.

@@kpopfan674 "most cyclists"? Maybe you just remember the dickheads 🤔

@@kpopfan674 This one included. She was nowhere near him or the pedestrians. This cyclist just wanted to be a pedant.

@@KenFullman Aw, has your wife got over the trauma yet?

"I sexually reproduced! Get out of my way!"

:D

I'm just wondering if this driver has seen this clip. She admitted that she had NOT seen the parent and child crossing the road when she zoomed through. Presumably, as a parent herself, she would be horrified at her own actions.

Just common decency really.

Yes I know about rule 20, but you did look rather close to the pedestrian. Perhaps it's just the footage?

Thanks.

2 Contour Roams on my helmet. One forward, one backward. No noise reduction or sponge. The audio is "as is", captured by the cameras.

No, it doesn't need to be staggered the central reservation makes it 2 crossings!

like himself. as you noticed in his video he didnt stop whilst somebody was on the crossing. you have to wait till pedestrian is safely accross before you proceed. he was too busy trying to catch up to the woman so he wiyld make 27p on utube

Doubt he would. Cyclists are just as bad at times if not worse

A bicycle is about a man wide, total weight is rider+30 pounds, slower speed, better view of the surroundings, quite nimble. The consequences of a crash with a bike vs. a car are hardly comparable.

@DanDanDoe I'll remember that the next time my 2yo gets knocked over by a bike riding on the footpath, or failing to stop at pedestrian crossing. Maybe you should just follow the road rule like everyone else.

@@simonharris4873 I do agree bicycles should follow rules, as it keeps traffic predictable and thus safe. But you can’t tell me a car not giving way and a bicycle not giving way are the same thing. It’ll be much easier for a cyclist to spot a two year old and swerve around them than it is for a car, and if there is a collision your kid is better off getting hit by a bicycle than a car. Let’s take the Netherlands, where cyclists own the road and there’s a lot of them who do stupid stuff. 51% of pedestrian injuries are because of cars, 42% are one-sided accidents (e.g. tripping). That leaves 7% for all other vehicles, including lorries, busses and bicycles. That’s why I don’t treat bicycles and cars as equals when it comes to neglecting road laws. A cyclist running a red light mainly endangers themselves, and might hurt pedestrians or other cyclists. A driver running a red light is deadly unless they’re driving very slow. A distracted cyclist will get themselves killed. A distracted driver will get others killed.

Yeah. I'm glad the police took action too, though I think given how serious it was that the driver should simply have lost her licence.

I think what you meant to say was Another second and she'd have stopped for those pedestrians.

You’re not wrong, get more people cycling on safe cycling paths and walking to their kids schools and to work to let the needed vehicles for people who have buisness’ like builders, plumbers, electricians, etc to get around faster on the roads, and not be stuck in clogged up streets due to this ridiculous compulsion for everyone to drive everywhere which causes this kind of problem

@@sam9558 I own a motorbike but walk to the shops just over one mile with my rucksack at least twice a week. Not worth getting the bike out. Keep the blood squirting round!

@@bill-2018 exactly, if only others would have the same attitude

True.

Indeed. The irony (?) is she complained about my behaviour... :D

:D

Yeah I thought I recognised it 🤣

Not just croydon - same behaviour happens all over the uk 24/7

@@Keithbarber true but I agree with Joe its also quite a typical Croydon day 🤣

Yawn. Motorist good everyone else bad huh Andy😂😂😂😂😂

@@billpugh58 What makes you say that, Bill? In this case, the pedestrians stepped out when the car was very close. He stood little chance of stopping safely. Cars take time to stop, a fact which some pedestrians (I am one myself) seem unable to comprehend.

The law doesn't agree with you. Steam yields to sail.

@@alexritchie4586 Yes alex, but what happens when the sailboat suddenly turns in front of the steamship and the ship has no time to stop? What do you expect the car to do - jam on the brakes and risk a skid, veer across the road?

@@andyhowlett2231 You can invent whatever hypothetical scenarios you like to salve your conscience about illegally driving through pedestrian crossings, I'm just telling you what the law states.

Awww, Paddy never actually mastered riding a bike 🤗

OR... you could teach children not to be morons.....which is what your parents didn't do. Well done Einstein.

Doesn’t stop drivers killing and maiming, No ban all vehicle from school streets and stop thinking children won’t be children and drivers won’t be reckless, dangerous and continue killing nd maiming @@jimosullivan1389

good idea. ban all vehicles around schoold especially the joyriders on mobility scooters and lycra twats on bikes.

Why don't you stop trying to kill children David?
