Driver is a prick. Biker is a whining snivelling school boy. Please Miss, please Miss.

All IMO.

Probably even better than slapping the shit out of him and walloping his mirrors off.

Driver was a tool but nobody likes a grass - especially one who doesn't know that it's "should have" and not "should of".

The driver is a total idiot, however, the biker didn't really need to attempt to undertake him on that corner!

As bad as each other IMO.

I have seen that happen in a few videso (RoyalJordians I think) so it must be a common mistake.

Was behind the biker, until he ran to the police. Come on get a grip, reminds me of a 4 year old running to the teacher.

I kind of feel for the car driver.

Exhibition Road used to be laid out a little like a dual carriageway. Look at Queen’s Gate on StreetView and Exhibition Road used to be a lot like that before they pedestrianised half of it, laid pretty bricks and removed all road markings.

Dude possibly just hadn’t driven down the road for a couple of years.

He was still a dick for the cut up and brake testing though.

Erm. Right at the start of the vid, the driver says he made a mistake, and sounded pretty genuine to me - angry but genuine. I can imagine doing the same thing on a road like that. It was an odd layout, really didn't look like it was two lanes. But the motorcyclist, in all his helmet-cam glory, then decided to continue with the argument, literally just because it was on video so his brain went into 'let's make this more exciting' mode, instead of resolving it quickly and G-ing T F O as soon as possible.

Driver made a mistake, motorcyclist made him feel bad about it, they argued, motorcyclist went way too far, exacerbated by youtube egotism.

Note how comments for the vid are disabled.

If you notice, the biker simple points out it's one way, and then the car driver kicks off, flying past him and then hitting his brakes. Car driver has already flipped at this point.

[P.]

Biker was reserved and waited it out.

Fair play to him, I'd have gone mental

[Moo.]

Can see how they wound each other up..

Was in a similar situation a few days ago, sat in the car with my dad. Coming upto a junction with a set of lights where it goes from a single lane into two, where the left hand goes left and the right goes straight ahead. The lights had just gone red.

Because of oncoming traffic the gap wasnt quite big enough for our car to slip into the right handd side to go forward, so we were waiting for the gap to open up slightly as we rolled forward so slot in, the cars body language was set diagonally so it was clear where we were aiming to go.

An opportunity presents itself and a gap appears so my dad goes to move into the lane.

At this precise moment a guy on a bmw gs1200 shoots past and makes out like we were trying to drive into him. Cue him sat infront of us for the next 5 minutes making all kinds of gestures, shaking his head, shrugging, Seriously winding us up.

Both acted kinda dickish tbh, but the car driver brake-checking was uncalled for, cagers don't seem to realise that even a small shunt at a bike can cause something serious. The biker defo had a HelmetCamBoner though.

With regards to the police, I'm kinda on the fence.

I don't buy into any of the old 'don't be a snitch / grass' bollocks.. What are we Italian-American gangsters now?? There are some situations, probably in every riders life that they'd wish the police were there when something has happened. I was assaulted on my BMX by a motorist years ago when I was 15. No witnesses, police did nothing even though I got his full reg. number. So there are times that the police could be involved. However, I don't think this was one of them. Slow speed cut up, exchange of a few naughty words, could've left it at that.

Biker 0 - Cager 0. Because both were fucking panzies.

For the 165746th time ... I'm so glad I don't live in London. I'd drive through it but never ride. What a messed up place.

Hang on a minute, the point at which the car driver realised it wasn't a one way street (when the biker told him rapidly followed by oncoming vehicles) was when he should've started indicating and pulled into the correct lane. Instead he floored it across the junction into head on traffic and then cut up the biker and wasn't a mile off hitting the cyclist.
Sure, no ones perfect, but he's been a total knob at that point.
Subsequent brake checks were absolutely intended to have him off the bike, and he only got out of the car in order to intimidate the biker.
The biker has given him a load of verbal and is leaving it at that when he sees plod and figures, fck it, this guys pssd me right off.

I'm not saying I would have behaved in the same way, but I don't have a problem with what he did.
