Cyclist idiotically undertaken whilst LEAVING roundabout

[@QiuEnnan]

A lot of people seem to not understand the advice in The Highway Code! Rule 186 states: 'Signals and position… when taking an exit to the right or going full circle, unless signs or markings indicate otherwise signal right and approach in the right-hand lane keep to the right on the roundabout until you need to change lanes to exit the roundabout signal left after you have passed the exit before the one you want.' It also says that the rules in this section 'apply to all vehicles' and 'should be read by all drivers, motorcyclists, cyclists and horse riders.' Finally, the guidance for cyclists also says 'full details about the correct procedure at roundabouts without cycle facilities are contained in Rules 184 to 190'! www.gov.uk/guidance/the-highway-code/using-the-road-159-to-203#rule184

It is perfectly OK for cyclists (and horses) to go around the roundabout in the outdise lane even when turning right. With horses this is pretty much essential... (rule 186)

[@QiuEnnan]

@@hippophile Finally someone who actually has basic understanding of The Highway Code… I really hope most people in this comments section don’t drive or operate any other type of vehicle. However, the code also says you can use either lane.

[@bobmcneill1104]

Is it not the case tbat cyclists can use the left lane to turn right as long as they signal clear enough for other road users to see

[@QiuEnnan]

yeah, both ways are allowed, but when doing this people may turn left across your path.

[@xaiano794]

Yes however that is far more dangerous for the cyclist because if you are turning right and using the left lane, drivers who are going straight on will try to pass, meaning you could get hit from a steep angle, it's much safer, due to inattentive drivers, to move to the right as people are far less likely to undertake turning right as it is an unnatural line to take.

@@xaiano794 He used the right lane and they still did pass and cut across.

[@xaiano794]

@johnnichol9412 yes, I'm agreeing that there was nothing more the cyclist could have done, awful driving

[@jamoco1]

why cross stright to lane 1, when your in lane 2 on the roundabout ?

[@QiuEnnan]

That is the correct procedure. www.gov.uk/guidance/the-highway-code/using-the-road-159-to-203

[@jamoco1]

@@QiuEnnan its also wrong and dangerous

[@QiuEnnan]

@@jamoco1 Wot?

[@VidskiF20]

@@QiuEnnan you should be signalling at 0.22 and moving into lane 1 at that point. Unless you intend to use lane 2 after you've exited the rounabout, which clearly wasn't the case. You should have been in lane 1 long before you attempted to go in that lane. Not saying the driver wasn't driving dangerously, but you also left it late.

[@Sython6]

@@VidskiF20 Did you think that maybe he looked behind him and saw the car coming so didn't go into that lane to avoid becoming brown bread? keep in mind unlike cars its a lot harder to signal while turning on a cycle with one hand on the handlebars and one in the air.

[@uglypinkeraser]

I don't think the highway code is going to protect you from getting run over by a car.

[@QiuEnnan]

Yes it is…? It gives me advice on how to keep myself and others safe

[@marcussmith6523]

The car was in the left lane while you where in the right lane, maybe get in the left lane a bit earlier and let people know where you are going with a long and assertive hand signal and looking over left shoulder so people see you looking and that gives them a clue where you are going.

[@QiuEnnan]

I already did that - the reason I didn’t move over sooner was that I could already see I was being dangerously undertaken.

[@videos995]

@@QiuEnnan Incorrect, you should have stayed in right hand lane on exit and then filter back to left lane after roundabout

[@diavalus]

@@videos995 how is that incorrect? It wasn’t safe for him to do it!

[@QiuEnnan]

@@videos995 No, that is not what The Highway Code says - in fact it says to keep to the left unless overtaking, etc. Look at this image: www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&sca_esv=a818ac2b507a93d2&sca_upv=1&sxsrf=ACQVn08TLbGFNrKwWtnht1dodNnek0CP3w:1713648442682&q=roundabouts+highway+code&uds=AMwkrPuuhztSDa__4CbZuT5KNtb11SOtol3L6mmkmeRgUDRggf-VYaemUNi9ycX-LJgMtDz2Pi_-nL9WUXXRq_5kQqVDXBx2znnf36gh3Bx0c6lCNaWHOrrbJ3BTt-4QhSKJcn1X5LOIoQjAtFxHvN-6zyuf1OkK6swK0dzt0s2Qt3wTONYdDYNHtNxG9beO_2X__UcvyjJE2q-BhJyzOOTqcnoDvyVg35cxTJO-8OA-vIa8tasBiQSWvyhabutCh5bMOoCc8FE10dQ_-fnBbNRqHS6kJv4mXDbQ0X7WpOQzCw7UN1SLvC0&udm=2&prmd=ivmnbtz&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjak8j13dGFAxVwiv0HHe6lCf4QtKgLegQIExAB&biw=1440&bih=762&dpr=2#vhid=dmIqPSc8fAcGZM&vssid=mosaic

Your a cyclist therefore you were breaking the law. The end.

wot is this a joke

[@philipallen4230]

If we're going to make up silly rules, how about "those that can't spell shouldn't be typing rubbish on the internet"!

[@markdarroch]

Cyclists should be taxed and number plated before using the roads, absolutely sick of the "Lycra Mob" thinking they own the roads.

[@owieprone]

Cyclists do pay tax, the same tax every tax payer pays for the maintenance of the roads. Motorists pay an extra tax on emissions which is NOT ring-fenced for the maintenance of the roads. Most cyclists are also motorists, so the majority pay the same as you. As for having a number plate, it would be so small you couldn't read it, and the polis don't have the numbers or where-with-all to catch bad motorists who do have plates, so how would they manage to catch cyclists, scooter riders, and pedestrians?

[@markdarroch]

@@owieprone I've been a motorcycle rider for many years, I am sick to the back teeth of obnoxious little cyclists thinking they own the road, trying to ride two abreast, running red lights, riding like absolute donkeys swerving all over trying to intimidate other road users into giving them their "safe space", if you feel threatened by people on the road then DONT BE ON THE ROAD, cyclists should have all the peace to enjoy their so called hobby, quite a lot of them need to be educated on how to use public highways properly and stop being absolute idiots thinking they are right. I've been round some corners on my way to work and nearly wiped some out because of their idiocy, they need more restrictions.

[@markdarroch]

@@GordyM-ov7pt exactly, 👍, instead of thinking they own the roads.

[@QiuEnnan]

I’m not sure what relevance this has to my video? I was cycling carefully and considerately in accordance with The Highway Code. Your comment makes even less sense considering the driver was the offender (despite having number plates, tax, insurance, driving licences, vehicle testing, etc.)!

[@philipallen4230]

Grow up Mark

[@hayloft3834]

Why did you cross to the right lane and not stay in the left? If you are talking about the white Mini that is the off side. That's actually impressively awful riding...

[@QiuEnnan]

… Try to actually learn the rules before writing unfair comments. Embarrassing Rule 186 When taking an exit to the right or going full circle, unless signs or markings indicate otherwise signal right and approach in the right-hand lane keep to the right on the roundabout until you need to change lanes to exit the roundabout
