I like the way the instructor is so calm when he says 'a cyclist crashed in the back of us' like it's a regular occurrence Laughing

Derp cyclist

It's good that no motorcycles have ever crashed into the back of cars. Or inanimate objects.

I saw this earlier and wondered why the driver didn't get the assholes details. Surely there must have been some damage to the car.

I've also seen two cyclists very nearly get squished the past two days on Prescot Road because red lights didn't apparently apply to them. They really do seem to have an awful lot of faith in those polystyrene caps they wear.

That car park one looks like some kind of (driver) seizure.

Dimly realises he's monged it and tries to make his ess-cappy?

I was gearing up near the spacker spots in Morrisons when a coffin dodger got in his Micra and proceeded to drive gently into the bollard at the front of the space. Then again. And again. A grinding of gears and he figured out reverse, kerbed it on the bay divider behind him, and finally whined and weaved away.

Biggest voting demographic.

Andy, you're a mental head.

Sefton Park is a well known spot for learner drivers.
The car wasn't parked on a corner, nor was it parked in a No Parking area.

I think you need to explain your retardation.

Yep, some drivers crawl forward onto/slightly past the line while the lights are red whereas some cyclists just go past the lights and stop just before the oncoming traffic would hit them.

More annoying than that is very low speed cyclists riding in the middle of a dual carriageway to filter when the traffic gets bad, blocking any motorcyclists behind them. Especially when they don't look behind and suddenly appear from between two near-stationary cars. I think a lot of cyclists expect everyone else to do their obs for them so they don't get squished.

Nice to see sarcasm is still totally wasted on this forum Rolling Eyes

Also a quick edit, it was a little dig at how it's ALWAYS the motorist at fault when it involves a bicycle..... cyclist runs a red light and gets flattened by a bus, it's the bus drivers fault (as we were told at training school). Cyclist drags a kid along the pavement, cyclist has a go at the parents.... cyclist rides up to a mobile CCTV van and has a go at the driver for "breaking the law" by using his phone (while the driver is parked up with the engine off), but thought nothing of filming himself riding on the pavement then crossing a junction to have a go at the driver.... etc

Nail on head.

Rarely have I seen a cyclist perform any sort of head check when changing lanes. Of course, they're not the only ones guilty of this but, they do appear the most guilty of it in my experience and considering how very vulnerable they are, it smacks of pure lunacy.

sooo true.

was behind one on the drive home from work friday.

i could tell something wasn't quite right so instead of just overtaking i hung back a few seconds after passing some traffic islands. good job too as a few seconds later he decides he's turning right and swerves across the lane in front of me.

if i had been anyone else, or more correctly, anyone not paying as much attention and just overtook him as many cars would, he'd be flattened.

In fairness to the cyclist, that car existed in front of him right at the last second.
