@@Ulven3829 in this case yes. Tailgating is extremely dangerous, of other cars and especially of cyclists. If whatever is travelling in front of you has to suddenly stop then you don't have room to deal with the problem. Note that I said that I do believe cyclists should stick to rules and I won't defend inconsiderate cycling. However there is an extremely good reason higher standards should be applied to drivers (including myself as a driver) and that's because if you muck up the problems you cause are ten times greater. For example, on my bike I nearly got wiped out yesterday by a driver jumping a red light at quite a high speed. If that had been a cyclist naughtily creeping through a red light, if I'd have been hit then the injuries probably would have been light. However the danger is so much higher when a car does it, I'm pretty lucky to have avoided hospital time to be honest.

6:59 Sorry, but I would most certainly not let a car/vehicle and especially not a cyclist be responsible for the decision on how I cross the road, especially at a junction like this. The new rules are dangerous and not completely the responsibility of the car /vehicle driver. If a pedestrian is top of the hierarchy they should also be more aware of their surroundings and NOT at the beholding of any one else. After all the pedestrian can see far more of the situation that the vehicles can. I was brought upon the Tufty Club, Look left right and left again as well as the Green Cross Code and my kids were taught the same. That was safe, this is not.

The new hierarchy gives way to the most vulnerable, but it is intended to work around existing infrastructure for busy areas. No one has the right to move anywhere without due care and attention.

[@ditch3827]

@@gareth14111984 The problem is that they are generally not built right or maintained. To be effective cycling on cycle tracks has to be more convenient and quicker than going by car for short journeys. But so often council build cycle tracks that are less convenient, diverting cyclists to a longer route and making them stop and start at every side road with the consequent loss of momentum taking effort to recover. Cycle lanes are also often poorly maintained and full of street furniture and other hazards. Cycling on the carriageway is therefore often more convenient. As a nation we need to move away from cars to active transport so we need proper cycling and walking infrastructure and traffic calming measures to make driving short distances less attractive.

7:05 that new rule is one of the dumbest I've encountered in the new update; imagine you're coming off a dual carriageway at 40 and you have to stop; there's a lorry behind you.... Goodnight. Thank goodness they only used the word 'should' rather than 'must' as I've encountered a few situations where it's just too dangerous to let the pedestrians go. Does anyone else remember when you were told not to cross at a junction but go down the road a little and find a safer place?

It's not a new rule, you always had to stop for pedestrians crossing at a junction, it's just that nobody ever did and people needed to be reminded.

[@stephenwalker6823]

@@Strider9655 It is a new rule. The old rule stated that you should give way to pedestrians who were already crossing (obvious really, so as to avoid running into them), while the new rule tells you to give way to people who may be about to cross (which of course is dangerous, as you are suddenly stopping with the rear of your vehicle stuck out in the main road, when it would clearly have been safest for the pedestrian to wait a few seconds until you had passed without stopping). The old rule gave the necessary protection, without introducing another (and significant) danger.

[@stephenwalker6823]

@@Strider9655 It is simple and safe for anyone about to cross to see that a vehicle is turning in and wait a moment. For a driver approaching, he or she may have no vision of the people until after starting the turn (if they are not right at the end of the road) and have to come to a stop with the rear of their vehicle in moving traffic, causing other drivers, who expected them to complete their turn to have to brake and or swerve, risking rear end or head on collisions. It is clearly dangerous to expect drivers in moving traffic to stop in such a dangerous position. As for a loophole - if they hadn't started to cross, and did not begin to do so while the vehicle was already turning, they would not be at any risk. The rule change has clearly made it far more likely that a collision will occur.

@@stephenwalker6823 The rule has change only in the sense of where the pedestrian needs to be for a driver to stop, it's gone from "in the road" to "about to step into the road", and it's like I said, it's to stop drivers having any excuse for mowing down pedestrians.

[@mjr2567]

You're kind of milking that temporary lights situation. Riding on the pavement, technically illegal, is de facto legal in the UK as long as it's done safely with consideration for pedestrians. How many times do you think a cyclist needs to be tailgated at or through lights before they decide it isn't worth risking their safety to wait at them if they can proceed on their journey in a completely safe manner? Imagine a HGV ploughing through a queue like that because the driver's on the phone, doing paperwork, tired, ill, on drugs or drunk. You give a good example of tailgating yourself at 5:48. To be fair the cyclists slows but you gain on them anyway. There are bad road users everywhere, doesn't matter what vehicle they're using.

10:18 It never occurs to the critic, er commentator, that some pedestrians try to cross the street without impeding traffic. Which is what she was doing, using the traffic island as a half-way refuge. If the motorcyclist behind you hadn't nodded to her to finish crossing, she would have waited until traffic cleared. Do you know why she's lived so long? Because she doesn't just push the button and change the traffic light in her favour, while keeping her eyes glued to her mobile phone. Think about it, man! Some road users use the road intelligently and safely, no matter how you choose to perceive their actions ...

[@quietman2672]

Well said, she did absolutely nothing wrong. I walk miles every week and if I have to cross a busy road or junction I do my upmost to try and cross safely in between the traffic rather than press the button to stop it, especially in rush hour. There are times obviously that after standing for several minutes and seeing no let up in the flow, I do press to stop the traffic. 👍🛑🚥

[@thelondondashcam]

Think about it man really ? A woman has walked past a crossing to walk in the middle of road in bad weather conditions, you say she's walking to the Island, have a look at the island it's got no dropped kerb which means it's not a pedestrian island. And obviously she did impede traffic because the motorbike waited for her to cross after almost going into back of me because he was being distracted by her. This is pretty basic stuff which I find horrifying that some people just don't get this basic stuff which used to be taught in primary schools. The green cross code man, if you're not old enough to remember that KZbin him he will tell you how to cross the road exactly the opposite to what this woman done.

@@thelondondashcam The cock on the bike only let her cross after coming to a grinding halt to avoid crashing into you.

[@CDBC]

@@thelondondashcam I'll give you something to think about, perhaps. In most of Canada and the US, where road systems developed comparatively rapidly, pedestrians are encouraged to cross at intersections, where from a legal point of view they can expect to be given right-of-way by traffic. The problem with that is the complexity of intersection vehicle movements, compared to crossing mid-block (where they only have to look left and right, but can't expect right-of-way). So here in BC currently, statistics show that the majority of pedestrian deaths occur in marked crosswalks at intersections. Just like they teach you in primary school! Being dead right isn't much use if you're also dead, eh?

In front of where I used to work every day at 9:30 like clockwork a bunch of cyclists maybe 10 or so would ride along not using the bike lane but completely blocking the one lane and not riding single file as required. If you tooted your horn at them you cop all the usual filthy language and hand signs. I rode my motorcycle through the middle of them one day. Man, did they crack the sads. Yelling at me to have respect and saying you can't do that. LOL. I've not actually met anyone who has any respect for cyclists because of people like these. Here in Australia we are supposed to give them a metre and a half of space when passing them. Bit hard to do that when you are trying to pass them on single lane twisty roads through the hills and your stuck behind them for many kilometres and they refuse to pull over even when there is a spot for them to pull over. Their attitude is they have a right to the road. After a while you think, "stuff 'em" and overtake anyway.

Drivers beeping usually do it once they are alongside cyclists, which is useless & indicates annoyance & anger.

They regard themselves as Elite Cyclists and as such Exempt from many Conventional Road Rules, which is of course support by the fact that frequently Police Officers simply ignore their noncompliance with Road Law.
