Regardless its called a "limit" not an "allowance," you are not "allowed" to bomb along at the highest limit, indiscriminately, whenever you want... Your a nob if one of those who mashes the engine up to highest possible limit "every dammed time" and you only wear the machine components out all the sooner costing you a lot more over the years. You also wont improve your overall commute times in areas like this as you leave yourself less time to read to road and have to break harder/to a full stop for obstacles and junctions a lot more often... This is why speed limit allocations need updating because too many wouldn't think about it at all and couldn't understand a "limit" is not an "allowance..." If it was speed "allowances" it would have to be done in 5,10,15,20,25mph ect, for every little stretch outside of motorways and wide main roads... That way the times you would have been able to go "nearer" the "limit" in reasonable conditions, like when the road is clear at a less busy time, you wouldn't be "allowed" anymore because of too many doushbags taking the piss out of the "limit" system for too long and ruining it for everyone.

Was it impatience and wanted to get passed the cyclist ? If it was, God knows why because the cyclist was keeping pace with the Toyota Aygo ahead of him, so where was the Audi going to go. IDIOT.

Because inattentive drivers will be "surprised" by a cyclist doing this and then weaving back out around a car ("He came out of NOWHERE, officer!"). And homicidal drivers will just use it as an excuse to nail a cyclist! Plus, it makes sense to hold a consistent line. Anyone who's raced in a peloton knows how important "holding your line" is!

@@thegameeeeeee8666 You drive only via revocable licence; your driving is a privilege and not a right. Cyclists, pedestrians and horse riders/carriages all use the public highway by right. Know your place. You're required by law as a driver to have MOT, VED, insurance, and a licence; cyclists, pedestrians, and horse riders/carriages are not required to have these. None of these payments change the fact that your driving is a privilege and not a right. There is no road tax - it was abolished in the 1930s to stop entitled drivers from claiming that they own the public highway. You mean VED, a pollution tax. It's obvious why cyclists and pedestrians don't pay that tax. As a driver you're a freeloader - the sum of motoring taxes in the UK is far less than the sum cost of motoring to society. All drivers are heavily subsidised by non-driving taxpayers. I have a playlist of drivers disqualified by the courts as a result of cyclist videos here: kzbin.info/aero/PL50HnB_iNgL4VLK1XXwdYkX2kn3Bbjh7B Tens of thousands of cyclists run video cameras and will report bad driving around them.

[@cargy930]

@@CyclingMikey Mikey, for once I'm surprised at you: The "road tax" vs "VED" argument, oft trotted out by militant cyclists (I don't consider you one of these, BTW!), is a matter of semantics. Most people use the words "road tax" as a generic term for VED - in the same way that people talk about "hoovering" their house even though they're using an Vax, or talk of using "perspex" to repair their greenhouse when referring to acrylic sheet. If someone says they're nipping to the Post Office to get their road tax, we all know what they mean, even though the words are technically incorrect. If, as you say (and I have no reason to doubt it), the taxes raised by motoring are less than the expenditure required to maintain roads, then it's patently obvious that putting the tax revenue into the general pot, before taking it back out again to use on road transport expenditure, is simply accountancy sleight of hand; the entire sum _still_ ends up funding transportation and the roads one way or the other. The point I'm making is that it's a childish argument, one that effectively mocks someone for their incorrect choice of words rather than addressing their position. All your other points are spot on. ...Of course, none of that changes the fact that "Yeah, but cos muh road tax" is an utterly utterly stupid argument! :D

[@CyclingMikey]

@@cargy930 It's more that drivers are using "road tax" to suggest they own the roads, whereas it's actually a pollution tax. The road fund licence was abolished precisely to try to prevent drivers from claiming they own the roads. Most of all, all of us taxpayers are heavily subsidising drivers, which further destroys the argument that drivers are paying their way, because they are not.

To which the biker can reply ''you're in my way, in the middle of the entire, centre and left of the road, driving along at zero miles per hour,. The cyclist was moving along at a pace that was no slower than you could otherwise have been going. Dont be a hypocrite when YOU are the slowest moving vehicle out there''. I have never ridden a bike or motorbike on a road at zero mph, but cars seem to enjoy doing this for some reason and are never fined for obstructing traffic, why is this?

@@tonyryan1574 Audi first beep is at 1:59, when the cyclist had just moved to the centre of the road in order to pass a number of parked cars and the red Toyota was literally 5m in front of him. What did the driver expect the cyclist to do in those circumstances and why?

[@JHJHJHJHJH]

​@@tonyryan1574 Can you quote the rule for that please? I have read the Highway Code and never read any mention of "Just move over". Rule 72 however says; "Ride in the centre of your lane, to make yourself as clearly visible as possible... in slower moving traffic... at the approach to junctions or road narrowings where it would be unsafe for drivers to overtake you" It mentions specifically when and how to move aside to allow faster moving traffic to pass; "When riding on busy roads, with vehicles moving faster than you, allow them to overtake where it is safe to do so whilst keeping at least 0.5 metres away, and further where it is safer, from the kerb edge." The cyclist was coming out around parked vehicles and approaching a junction and the other vehicles were not moving faster at the time of the first beep. The highway code also tells cars what to do. I won't quote the whole lot as it takes up space and you seem to be an HC expert. But do check Rules 212 and 213 to refresh your memory. The car was clearly in breach of the highway code and the cycle was not.

[@jimenojaime7268]

Rule 153 Traffic-calming measures. On some roads there are features such as road humps, chicanes and narrowings which are intended to slow you down. When you approach these features reduce your speed. Allow cyclists and motorcyclists room to pass through them. Maintain a reduced speed along the whole of the stretch of road within the calming measures. Give way to oncoming road users if directed to do so by signs. You should not overtake other moving road users while in these areas. Road humps = traffic calming = should not overtake

[@themitsky]

Tries to intimidate. When told it is on camera, gets back into car with tail between its legs. "I'm not driving up your arse." 2 second rule, which should be known by all drivers.

I dunno. As a cyclist, I try to work with the cars. And yeah, some are dicks, but stopping in the middle of the road to confront someone is not dissimilar to honking at someone to let them get past despite the cyclist pretty much staying with the flow. The real issue for me is the roads just aren't built for both, and we all need to calm down a bit. Councils need to look to develope cycleways that are separate from the roads, possibly making some roads "residents only". I'm not perfect. I've been hit (at slow speed) 3 times as cars turned into the cycle lane, and one time I had to consciously stop myself from knocking the cars wing mirror off in anger. But drivers just need to calm down. There was no benefit in getting past in the first place. The red car never got more than 50 meters ahead. That said, the first time you turned your head after the honk, there was a long piece of road with no parked cars where you could have easily pulled over and let them past.

because when you find out the driver of a vehicle that weighs considerably more then you and yours, for some reason has anger towards you, the last thing you want is for him to be driving behind you. regardless of that, the rider stayed as much to the left as was possible and was keeping up with the traffic in front, so even if he was in the middle of the lane the whole time, where was the Audi driver going to go ? the event highlights how the drivers only concern was to overtake the rider, so blinded by this desire he was unable to realise there was no point in doing so

@@Scouse_Wayne 100% on the money, the cyclist is following the flow of traffic on this narrow slower street.
