Cyclists v Car [Graphic-ish]

[Street]

No PeePee. In both situations, the cyclist had right of way, the second one had lights AND a fluorescent jacket on, and got hit TWICE, both by people who claimed to see him late. If they'd looked properly, and been as observant as they should have been, and been a tiny bit more patient, that guy would have continued through that junction fine. On a busy main road, if you have a van or similar in front of you that you cannot see through, you do not under any circumstances follow it directly through a junction, for the simple reason that you don't know what is coming. If that had been another car there, the driver of the car which would have been hit could have been killed, it could have slid sideways into the second car.

The woman in the second video was just stupid, if she's turning left out of a junction, aside from keeping an eye out for pedestrians and the like in the direction she's turning into, her main focus should be on what is coming from her right, purely because that is what provides the main danger. Her last look before pulling out should be what is on her right. If she's stupid enough to assume that something which she should have seen when making her checks before pulling out has gone past her before pulling out, then she deserves the abuse. The fact that she then continued to drive forward having stopped once when she ran over the bike and part of his leg is even worse, as it shows that she had no awareness of what was going on as she was pulling out.


And the first video, the driver is just a massive *Removed* who shouldn't be allowed on the road if they're doing things like that, the cyclist was lucky not to be killed (A big part of that will be the fact that he's wearing a helmet)
