Unbelievable, even more disgusting is the way the drivers try to deny responsibility Last edited by grimey121uk; 09-10-11 at 03:12 PM. |

Good that he got it on Camera, the police wont do anything about it though I'll bet. There are some real morons on the road.

How the hell did they both not see him. I think the second car nearly driving over him was more suprising.

She'll have only looked right "because nothing comes from the left"
It happens more often than you would think. As for "The cops will do nothing" No, you're right. They won't. Unless the guy is injured, policy is that a unit won't even be sent out. There isn't enough of us. Even if we did, both those drivers would get a driver awareness course, not face prosecution. I wish we would do more, but our hands are tied. Get used to it, it's only going to get worse. Pete ![]() |

the driver of the silver car would have been looking left at the time he came off, missed him come past her, the looked right it was clear (because he was on the floor) .. then pulled out and ran over his bike...
its not an excuse the first guy just wasnt paying attention which is why he got clipped off.. Lucky bugger |

This one was amongst the one the op posted, it's not just about people not seeing cyclists, some just dont care. No surprise most of the videos are in London, well regarded as being the least courteous in the country. What shocks me the most is the ones that stop to have a go are the ones committing the worst of the offences. |

What the Black Car does is what happened to me in March this year.... not much fun.
Police attended and I had to go to A & E. Police decided there was enough evidence to prosecute the driver, but they sent him on a driver improvement course instead, which cost him £200 and took up two days of his time. Before the impact theres a white Van parked up on the left which may have prevented the driver of the Focus from seeing the cyclist which is why she just pulled out and drove over his bike, still doesnt excuse what happened though.

I don't know why cyclists don't ride on the pavement. I hate cycling on the road, its feckin scary.
One thing I don't get about the cyclists around here are the ones that ride on the 70mph dual carriageway when there is a cycle path 3 foot to the left |
