Bad UK Driving Vol 87 Stupid Cyclist & Pedestrian Compilation

[@andreashoppe1969]

As a fellow cyclist I feel embarassed to see such bad behavior by cyclists...we all get a bad rep because of them

[@tinymarsracing]

Nice try, troll.

[@georgehughes5703]

You said you are embarrassed by "such bad behaviour by cyclists" yet went on to complain that you "all get a bad rep". What is really telling about you (and many cyclists) is that you did not express any surprise at "such bad behaviour by cyclists" yet continue to complain when innocent road/footpath/zebra crossing users, understandably, give cyclists a well deserved "bad rep". Bad cyclists have always been treated mearly as errant pedestrians. With the increased number of cyclists (I am one), along with their increasingly "bad behaviour", perhaps it is now time to treat all operators of 2 wheeled vehicles (human/electric/motor driven) the same as any other road user. It will then be safer for pedestrians, other road users and cyclists.

@wotzcheez Are you being critical for the sake of criticism or attempting to support dangerous cycling? Other than that, your comment/question makes no sense. The commentator said "embarassed to see" thus meaning regular/by many. If the commentator had said "embarrassed to have seen" it would have meant infrequent/by few. So no, by trying to be as brief possible ie not adding the word 'see', my point is most certainly not killed. Thank you for your help in emphasising my point.

It still happens now, I remember it happening in the 90s - fat sl*gs would just walk to the edge of the main roads and push the pram out. Nothing changes on some estates as it seems to be bred in to them, so generation after generation of benefit scrounger keeps on doing it. When there is a death or injury they blame everyone else, it is never their fault according to the new Highway Code. The new rules seem to cater for thick stupid people that take seriously dangerous risks and transfer their liability to others. If only someone would take a test case to court and prove it is not a third party responsibility.

That's great pal, I read about a car running over a kid and killng them, but them cyclists eh? The real menace.

[@TanjoGalbi]

@@Sam-mq9cj I agree with that sentiment having known of a woman and her two children getting killed locally when I was a kid while they were cycling, ploughed down by a speeding driver who did not see them in time on a section of road known for drivers speeding! However, sticksman78 is justified when it comes to cyclists who blatantly flout the laws. Cyclists are just as bound by the highway code as any driver. I will defend cyclists who are not doing anything wrong, I used to be one both here in the UK and in a Canadian city for a number of years. I always followed the road laws, stopping at red lights and giving clear signals of my intentions to turn, etc. The bad cyclists out there give us good ones a bad name to such a degree that drivers think they are entitled to have a go at any cyclist for the slightest of reasons! One example of this was I was being driven home by my brother sometime in 2020 and a cyclist was minding their own business doing nothing wrong when my brother's young son piped up "bloody cyclists" from the back seat and my brother just chuckled at him. I complained that was uncalled for and my brother should not be teaching his kids to be so rude to people. He then had the gall to claim the cyclist should not be on the road because "they do not pay road tax", a common argument that comes from many drivers including, I bet, the creator of this video! So I said "Then you should not be on the road because you are not paying road tax either!" where a short argument ensued about the road tax that was abolished in 1937, 50 years before he was born! The next week during our visit to our mother's he was clearly still fuming about the argument and pulled out his tax forms regarding his car and point to the Vehicle Excise Duty and said "there, I do pay road tax!" I just laughed and said, that's a tax based on the car not the road, it's not the same thing! The road tax was a tax to hold users of the roads responsible for the upkeep of the roads. It was shifted to local councils being responsible as well as the government for roads not covered by local councils. The former being covered today by council taxes and the latter by general taxes, both of which all adults are required to pay! So, adult cyclists are contributing to the upkeep of the roads just as much as drivers and are equally entitled to the use of the roads. That ended the argument right there! lol

[@rogueuniversities6866]

@@Sam-mq9cj Yes, the cyclists are the real menace, for one simple reason: Unlike car drivers, they know they can get away with it, as there's very little chance of tracking them as they don't have licence plates (hopefully that will change soon). As a result, the vast majority ride at idiotic speeds on the pavements and zoom through red lights at pedestrian crossings. That can seriously injure or kill. As has happened. I have seen drivers sat at empty crossings with red lights, empty crossroads with red lights, and other pointless red lights. Why? Because they know there may be a camera and they could be tracked and punished for going through it. Cyclists have the privilege of not being concerned about that.

[@richardgiles2484]

I haven't a problem with normal cyclists. However I do have a problem with a lot of the so called professional/club riders who are the biggest danger to others. I have Zero sympathy for them when they come off or get hurt as they have probably been asking for it. If motorcycles ride in the same way they would get a fine, points and possibly a ban. But as cyclists can't be identified unless they are flat on the floor the police won't do anything about the problem.

[@tarico4436]

I watched a minute of this pro-psychotic video, then stopped, came down here to the comments. I drive a truck and I ride a bicycle. A short time ago I was in the Dept. of Motor Vehicles getting my tags, and I overheard a group of other patrons in there going on and on about how bicyclists are into self-offing (ending their own lives). This kind of talk leads to not feeling any guilt if one of their motor vehicles were to come into contact with a bicyclist, and the bicyclist were hurt, even fatally hurt. "He just did it to himself," they are preparing themselves to say. I'm telling you, these people are working themselves up into a frenzy, staging "accidents," and sometimes they're even blatantly trying to unalive other people just because we're on two wheels and don't have a motor with us.

[@jimrichards3916]

My local council ( Swansea ) spent around £200,000 widening the pavement ( both sides ) and making the road narrower ( sod the poor motorists ) near me so the lovely cyclists can have their own special areas ( coloured Blue! ) up one side and down the other. Bloody cyclist was pedalling up the ROAD this morning. Go figure!!!!

[@simonavarne9635]

Cyclists can ride on cycle lanes or the main carriageway. It is there choice. To be effective a cycle lane needs to be more convenient than the main carriageway but so often councils make them less convenient, longer, not continuous, bumps up and down, no priority over side roads so constantly having to stop and lose momentum. Then they don't maintain them and they get overgrown or they put street furniture in them. If I were a cyclist, I would stick to the main carriageway.

Time stamp please

[@adampoultney8737]

Regarding signalling, the Highway Code lists it as a “you should” rather than a “you must”. While I signal wherever practical, and most good cyclists would, sometimes I don’t as it means taking a hand off one brake (I’d rather keep my hand near my rear (left) brake handle if I can) and also reduces control of the bike as you now only have one hand on the handle bars. I would signal where communication to drivers matters. For example, I intend to turn right off a main road, I want to position right in the lane and stop to wait for an appropriate gap, I do not want people trying to overtake as I do this so I signal right early and clearly and move far enough for traffic to pass on the left once I’m stopped. If I was turning left, a signal doesn’t always communicate anything of use, depending on surrounding traffic, so I might choose to keep hands on the bars. At a roundabout near me, I rarely signal to leave it. Road positioning is enough to get an idea where I’m going and a roundabout is somewhere I really want both brakes quickly usable.

Its a great idea to have registration plates on bikes but here in the UKthe DVLA do not consider its practical or cost effective for what is essentially a leisure activity, bicycles statistically nationwide in the UK do not cause enough serious damage to the roads or to other road users or pedestrians cars do Insurance is not required because in most cases cyclist come off worse in an accident and its not cost effective for insurance companies.

It is not acceptable to ride on payment at any point. If bike lane is on the pavement i refuse to ride it as well, but that is my choice. You should never take more space as a cyclist than you should never block the 2nd lane as those 6 cyclists were. That is just stupid.

Mistakes you are making with this video: 1) Cyclists have the right to the whole width of the lane just as any other vehicle on the road. Generally they ride on the left of the lane for personal safety and to allow larger vehicles room to overtake but that is not a legal requirement. 2) Cyclists are not required to use cycle lanes. They are there to aid cyclists to make their journeys safer but they are not legally bound to use them. 3) Pedestrians are not legally required to cross at crossings no matter how close they are to the crossings! Sure it's dumb not to use the crossing but it's not a legal requirement. It is your legal responsibility to look out for pedestrians no matter where along the road you are and doubly so when you are close to a crossing, especially zebra crossings. 4) In the clip where you start of saying there is something wrong with the guy crossing at the junction lights, what has he done wrong? NOTHING! In fact, existing road laws prior to the recent changes allowed pedestrians to do exactly this and made it the responsibility of drivers to look out for pedestrians crossing. Now the law is even more in favour of the pedestrian where you basically now have to treat EVERY junction as if it's a zebra crossing, if there is a pedestrian waiting to cross, you have to stop to allow them to cross! 5) The woman cross on the 'red man' did so legally. Just as pedestrians do not have to cross at crossings they also can use a request crossing of that sort and cross when they feel safe to do so even if the 'red man' is showing. They are guides for pedestrians, not traffic lights like for vehicles! "You put your hand up to say stop? YOU stop!" No, the vehicles have to stop! IT'S THE LAW! lol 6) The couple walking to their car in the car park area were inconsiderate but otherwise within their rights. A car park is not a public road and so the rules there differ depending on the owners of the car parks but in general pedestrians have right of way. I won't even go on through the second half of the video as I am sure the above 6 are plenty enough to show you need to re-read your highway code THOUROUGHLY, especially now there have been major changes! Your attitude displayed in just the first half of the video shows the wrongful attitude the majority of drivers have which is a major concern for the safety of cyclists and pedestrians. Do not think I am protecting people who are in the wrong. Cyclists who run lights are clearly in the wrong and need their heads examined. As road users they are as much bound by the highway code as drivers of motorized vehicles are. Also, pedestrians crossing the road without the aid of a pedestrian crossing, including ignoring the status of the crossings (E.G. 'red man' showing), do have a reasonable responsibility to their own safety that can put them at fault if they disregard it and get hurt, like stepping out between parked vehicles without checking for fast moving traffic, but in general the main responsibility is with the drivers of vehicles.

It looked like a hit and run, his ear was hanging off and we had a police escort to the nearest hospital. All turned out well in the end, he had spent some considerable time in Hospital but recovered well. It turned out that ,as he was cycling downhill ,he hit a stone with his front wheel and went over the handlebars. The best part was.....his cycling helmet was strapped to the back of his saddle. I must admit that when I see people cycling, without a helmet, I smile to myself.

I think the cyclists were too far back to have been affected by any sudden stopping. Also, legally, amber does mean stop - unless you're so close to the line that it would be unsafe to stop. From the video, looked like a judgement call.

Cyclists should pay tax and have number plates so that fines can be issued for traffic incidents like running red lights. Some of them are pure idiots who think they own the roads. Same goes for electric scooter riders. Some of them are thick as well. Just the other day i had one knob weaving all over the place coming towards me way too fast and nearly hit me. People just need to use their eyes and look where they are going. Either that or natural selection should run its course with them 😤

[@Tailspin80]

Can’t defend the cyclists, but at 1:00 onwards you need to be aware that (a) cyclists are not obliged to use cycle lanes, and (b) cars are still obliged to leave 1.5m when passing. You get closer than 1.5m at 1:23 apparently believing that the rule does not apply if there is a bit of meaningless paint on the road called a cycle lane. When cycling I try and avoid roads with cycle lanes because cars treat the rest of the road a car lane, creating a more dangerous situation for cyclists.

[@TheEXTREMEcleaningguys]

They don’t stay in single file when they are meant too and they don’t stop at red lights etc yet when they are involved in an accident it’s the car driver who gets in trouble. Treat the road and it’s users with respect you fools!!!

Yh, when I see a cyclist I play the 101 points game. 50 for getting a bad reaction from them for being too close when I pass, 50 points for making them fall off by pretending to open my door when they’re about to pass and the last point is if I get them to say the N word. Never got 101 though.

They are probably the same people who have passed a driving test and have read the Highway code or who have never passed a driving test, dont tax or insure their cars but who still .. park on double yellows, park on red routes, park in disabled parking bays when not disabled, run red lights or amber gamble, exceed the motorways and road speed limits daily, etc..., they probably also dont cross on crossings or cross roads on the red man at the traffic lights.. where does it end !!

Kids love to behave like dare devils and school grads will soon know someone who is a traffic fatality, or three. Gambling with death is fun for the lawless. Kids need street cred to get underage booze etc for their girlfriends too. Establishing criminal harmony takes - looking "bad." Later they continue to ignore traffic laws to show their independence from gravity. It's simply adorable, but surgeons would rather play golf than do unnecessary surgeries on traffic victims.

Whilst I don't support rule breaking by anyone, it's worth remembering a couple of things before piling onto cyclists. Some cyclists creep through red lights, which they shouldn't. But a majority of vehicles speed a lot of the time, and very rarely get caught, if ever. I don't support red light jumping, but the speeding is very definitely much more dangerous and problematic. Another massive problem is tailgating. Driving up the motorway I see lines of cars not sticking to a 2 second rule, but a 0.2 second rule. Extremely dangerous behaviour, and I bet several of these drivers are the first to point the finger at cyclists being a cause of danger on the roads without looking at their own behaviour. Hence the outrage at the behaviour of pedestrians and cyclists in this video is not in proportion to the problem. Speeding and tailgating two tonne vehicles are massively problematic, cyclists breaking minor rules, not so much, due to the massive difference in potential harm caused. Again, as a cyclist I do support sticking to the highway code and personally do stick to it, but there is lot of misplaced outrage here.

@aberdeenstu1 I agree that cyclists shouldn't just jump red lights etc, I don't agree that it's always particularly dangerous, unlike the high speed problems that can be caused by incompetent driving (not saying all drivers are incompetent, but those that are) It's often about as dangerous as a pedestrian crossing a road. A lot of the cyclists you see here creep, check carefully, then go. I believe it's so unproblematic that in Paris they are trialling allowing cyclists to skip some or a majority of lights. Again, I do believe cyclists should keep to the laws as they stand but police tend to ignore it because of the low danger priority.
