As a hgv driver, if you drove around at the same speed and mind set in a vehicle in heavy traffic conditions. You be in court for undue-care and attention for other road users or reckless driving.
"Have you picked your most annoying cyclist?" - the one cycling behind me when I'm walking along on a crowded pavement, ringing their bell. (And yes, I am a cyclist myself, but only cycle on the pavement where it's marked as a shared pedestrian/cycleway.)
I cycle on pavement❌👎🤔but do stop and allow pedestrians to walk past That cyclist may not have been pinging his bell simply to make you aware of his presence
@@Keithbarber What? are you a child with stabilisers on? No excuse for riding on the pavement at all.If you're scared of riding on the road maybe you should just catch the bus.
its about time cyclists were made accountable for their actions, not just braking just about every rule in the highway code but for the damage caused to other vehicles while filtering and overtaking on the left.
nobody in their right mind would think of walking between the middle of two large vehicles such as a bus and a truck, but the moment the sit on a cycle they think it gives them invincibility from being crushed
"You never forget how to ride a bicycle"..... apparently a lot of people have managed to, somehow. I still have my Cycling Proficiency Test badge from 1973 when all schools insisted that kid had done the course & passed the test before being allowed to ride a bicycle to school. When I eventually moved up to motorcycles, the skills learnt in the CPT made it easier to adapt because the rules of the road (the highway code) were already ingrained from an early age.
What it needs, when they cycle though a bunch of pedestrians, is for one of the pedestrians (preferably one built like a brick outhouse), to grab their jacket collar, and drag them off the bike.
Just give them a shoulder check. What are they going to do? Go to the cops? Sir, I crossed a red light straight through a bunch of pedestrians and then he rammed me off my bike!
Most annoying would be me on a 50cc scooter with a clogged carburrettor "baaaaam baaaam baaam! sputter sputter sputter" traffic behind me is slowed to 10 mph, I pull to the left, just as drivers pass "baaaam baaaam baaaam!" back up to 30 mph, cars wait behind, scooter sputters back down to 10 mph. Lather rinse repeat until i push the darn thing on the pavement.
A lot of cycle users there, who do not have a clue how to use the roads, or any knowledge of the law. That one carrying a passenger in the front basket, is breaking the law also because of his riding on the foot way. Some very good drivers in the video, otherwise there would be a lot more deaths and cycle damage. Thank you, drivers, from a cyclist, (not cycle user, there is a difference!).
I personally think that we need many many many more of the first ones. The clumsy ones. If we had more of them drivers would have to be a lot more observant around them, and ALL other cyclists because they would not know what to expect, nor know which is the clumsy or the higher ability one... but with that said, the authorities would have to do their part by Prosecuting the dangerous drivers.
I was thinking of scheduling it for Friday, so glad I chose only 24 hours... the video hasn't played not even once and I think people hate it already 😝
Lancaster place features a lot in this selection. I spent ten years using it 260 days per year and hadn’t noticed the wheel swallowing gap one of your clumsies made themselves a spectacle in. Plenty of experience of mayhem trying to cross Strand though; that frequently suggested route has poor transition infrastructure & daft people ignoring their surroundings!
I was running through Peckham Rye, and nearly got hit by a cyclist on the zebra crossing, I chased after him, and caught up with him at the traffic lights, and told him he was giving cyclists a bad name, and a bit of a lecture, in front of about ten other cyclists. Felt good! I am a cyclist, driver and runner!
If ever there was a good reason to register cyclist this video is it. Yes register the cyclist, not the bike, have them wear an identification number (like a number plate for a car). If any of the stunts pulled in this video were brought carried out by car drivers and reported to the authorities the drivers would most likely be punished.
Advertisement: Rent a Boris bike, no riding experience or road craft needed, just rent and go, you can Learn as you go !!! Cycling in London is no different to riding in Beijing, Cairo, Lahore or any other major chaotic city, what are you waiting for,rent one today and discover London 😀😆👍
Anyone riding a rental electric majigger seem to be pretty clueless and probably got on it because the thought it would be fun. Even worse they keep it in low gear all the time and pretty much only ride on battery...
I can understand why there are so many accident with cycles they are like zombies over here in Thailand motorcycle rule the roads and paths they drive either side of cars and on the wrong side of the road I use taxis
I once heard you had to be crazy to live in the big city. Looks like that's true. I have been a cyclist for all of my life. I'm 53 years old now. I've never saw insanity on a bicycle quite like this, ever! These people are total, total, nobs! Looks like I wouldn't last a week in London. I stop for red lights, have never ridden between a moving or even stationary vehicle and always give way to pedestrians. This video displays the most breath-taking stupidity. I am totally gobsmacked! Do these people own cars also? I shudder to think they drive them like they cycle.
I hate cycloists going through red lights one almost hit my dog so i handed my dog over to my mum chased the cycloist down and put it this way he coudent use one of his legs properly for a while
The first few can be forgiven for being a bit wobbly, I think we've all fallen off our bikes or lost our balance now & again. I know I have& I've been riding for 46 years. There are some annoying twats out there...
Lol. Riding a bike keeps you fit, but some people need to realize those big metal objects called cars and buses, etc., plus people actually move.!!! Beware!!!
Erm except at 2:30 onwards those 2 incidents...you are doing the same, the difference is they are not crossing the white dotted lines slightly like you are
But a bicycle is a fundementally unstable vehicle with very little road-contact-in how many buses or cars is balance a critical factor? I once had an entire Brompton collapse under me in traffic, the whole thing, and I fastened everything properly. If one thing goes everything goes. A Brompton is as over-rated as the acting career of Dame Helen Mirren!
For example the ones riding on the pavement could have a £60 fine (have seen some cyclists being stopped and fined). Also, if any of these cyclists break the law and have a drivers license they can have points taken or license revoked.
Hi, Silvio Diego, Seb K Thank you for your reply. In Japan, violators take a "safety lecture (bicycle driver lecture)" when a violation is caught twice in 3 years from 2015. The attendance fee is approximately £39, and it is positioned as a fine. If you do not take this safety course, you will be fined a maximum of £336 or less.
Please note, if you are not in a designated cycle lane when overtaking on the inside is illegal, as shown by my police caution. When I'm in my car, I won't give you the space to do that. When I'm on my bike, I will only overtake cars on the outside.
Two words, Hobby bikes! Santander bikes and the like! If there not dumped on some pavement, some idiot is attempting to ride one! God help us.............real cyclist that is!
Este video no lo había visto, son patosos y cochistas que pedalean por primera vez y hacen lo que les gustaría hacer con el coche. También pienso que algunos son extranjeros y aún no se han habituado a circular por la izquierda, yo misma no sabría por dónde tengo que adelantar, supongo que por la derecha.
The UberEats guy yelling at the pedestrian was the worst. UberEats guys are the worst in Toronto as well, dressed head to toe in black, no lights, running through red light while working in the evening...
I cant see why anyone would want to drive a car in London when you can wizz around on a bike for nothing getting there quicker, keeping fit, getting home quicker, enjoying your evening meal after a good cycle workout, no road tax, zone charges, parking charges, insurance or MOT to worry about but i wish some of them hire bikers and bus drivers would get their act together, i have got to say it the Hackney cab drivers are good.
No clue. We have no idea. No clue. As to what we're doin'. No clue. or where we're goin'. No clue. Neither do drivers. No clue. Nor pedestrians. No clue. Completely clueless, that's what we are. No cluuuuuuuueeeeeee.
In Denmark drivers are presumed liable if they are in a collision with a cyclist. If this were the case elsewhere drivers would much more careful and less inconsiderate. In addition, despite some reckless bicycle users and others who are somewhat clumsy, the video demonstrates the wholly inadequate and lack of infrastructure designed to protect bicycle users, pedestrians and the infirm.
@@neddyseagoon9601 There is no discussion about the fact that all road users are capable of being irresponsible and dangerous. This includes walkers, bicycle users, wheelchair users ... However, it is obvious to any fair minded individual that the most dangerous vehicles on roads are motirised. This is includes sports cars, SUVs, buses, trucks, ... These extremely dangerous machines are responsible, worldwide, for 1.3 million deaths a year. This needs to be emphasised and the victimization of the, it is fair to say, harmless road users, needs to stop. And indeed they should be promoted as alternatives to the aforementioned dangerous forms of transport.
1:26 is precisely why filtering should be stopped, you're trying to over take a vehicle that you can't see past, and the cyclists are filtering on the other side, lucky you didn't have a head on crash which could of resulted in a serious accident. Gopro cyclists are always complaining about MGIF but you are just as bad. I cycle every day and can't abide filtering. It might be legal but its just stupid especially in built up traffic like that.
