More like guidelines.

Videos like these are what make me just laugh at the thought of driverless cars. How are they every going to make progress in London?

I ride some of those same streets every day and have experienced every single one of the same situations.

He's a cock. Turning from a major into a minor road, you give way to peds crossing. Approaching RED traffic lights and he gets the hump at people on the crossing already. What's his problem? He's just another cockblogger who has the superiority complex that seems to come with two-wheels and a helmet cam.

I hate you all.

Mind you; some of the pedestrians were idiots.

I hate them all too.

Indeed, but you also don't begin to cross against a red light, and they started it. Neener neener.

I could do without the head shaking though, we do get the point.

At people starting to cross against a red.

He should just ride through red lights, see how they like it.

I love you though: let's rub our helmets together.

It makes me angry, Roger. To criticise the pedestrians he needs to be whiter than white himself (not like that) and he really isn't.

He also pulls away on amber when amber means prepare to move or move if it is safe to do so. It's clearly not safe to do so when there are peds in the road.

Vlogger < Pedestrian walking in the road.

At least the incompetence of the latter is predictable - while the go-pro often makes vloggers obvious, some are less conspicuous Sad.

No it does not. It's red plus amber, and red (whether accompanied by amber or not) means halt, do not proceed, do not initiate locomotion, do not cross go the stop line.

However, you can see how well that's followed by the people responsible for enforcing it here...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gfaJkCBCQw&feature=player_detailpage#t=13

... and in many other similar videos.

RJ's clearly a dick though - look at these.

I'm not defending or accusing him, just thought to share the video because I do find some of the reactions comical. Some pedestrians do deserve a good scare (rather than an inevitable accident).

He might be breaking a few codes / regulations... Like millions of others.

Most of the cunts in the road are completely oblivious to their surroundings! Wandering about, without looking, no idea that traffic is coming.

https://youtu.be/4h0bIWe7j_M?t=1m41s

Didn't even look, had absolutely no idea.

Does that still apply if they've ignored the lights at a pedestrian crossing? If we're sensible enough as a country to not have/need jaywalking laws, maybe the pedestrians should at least open their eyes and not constantly get in the way of traffic.

He pissed me off, braking as late as possible for red lights just to scare pedestrians... no need for it.... revving the engine to scare them when they have right of way...

Some stupid people crossing though

It applies whatever; you're not actually allowed to run over pedestrians last time I checked Wink.

Earphones in, iphoned up, texting pedestrians, totally oblivious to anything outside of their own, self obsessed, little world are KSI's just waiting to happen!
We had one of these twunts wander out in front of our car a while ago, we managed to stop and avoid hitting the, useless, prick, but apparently it was our fault for having the temerity to be driving, perfectly legally, on the highway! Rolling Eyes
Shame we didn't hit the little fcuker, might have taught him a lesson!

Quite!

I agree, never understood the attraction of music and blutooth in your helmet and satnav on the handlebars, too many distractions!

40-60 miles a day of either the M40/A40/A406 or M1/M25. Dull as feck. Headphones in or I would go stir crazy some nights.

Believe that's a 'shared space' at 2.30 onwards. No-one has right of way. We have one in Gloucester which I use daily. It's great fun as a pedestrian.

Mobile phones are the devils spawn! Laughing It amazes me how many people walk around with these things pinned to their ears or staring at them texting oblivious to their surroundings! Rolling Eyes As for car drivers on mobile phones, I would take away their licences! Evil or Very Mad i have a mobile and it is used for my business but I refuse to answer it when I am driving or otherwise concentrating, if they want me that bad they will call back. I never use it when I am walking either, I stop and text or call. I have heard that there is a new operation to remove mobile phones from hands now though. Laughing Oh i should also mention that the rider in the clip was a bit of a tosser with his highway courtesy too. Wink

I find him quite funny normally, as far as i can tell he seems to ride like most people i see?? Obviously he plays it up a bit with the revving but i dont think hes a total knobber. As for pedestrians, fuckem. People walking need to wake the fuck up and remove themselves from their mobiles. Laughing

Had a similar thing recently. An elderly couple stepped straight out to cross a side road without looking sideways, just as I was turning into it. Luckily for them I had my eye on them and managed to stop a yard or two without any real issue to either of us. Still didn't stop the old biddy hurling abuse in my direction though. Maybe they couldn't afford a trip to Dignitas. Thinking

I think the guy is a nob. He stops far too close to the pedestrians just to show them he's the boss and all the revving just comes off as childish. Also i cant stand vloggers that only post video's of them complaining about other road users.

That's not at all what he's about. Watch the very next video.

100.1 is a concentrated highlight reel of sheer mongdacity. Most of them aren't even bothering to look, don't appear to hear a Nuda with open pipes until it's nudging their arses, and are operating on a "I'm going to keep crossing unless someone physically stops me" basis.

RJ is more about celebrating biking. I've got a proper man-crush. Dat Nuda, dat voice. Wub
