[@Galstaf]

Some cyclists habitually undertake regardless of the circumstances and some car drivers habitually indicate at the point where they are performing a turn failing to give other road users time to plan, these types of road users expect other people to drive in full compliance with the Highway Code whilst failing to do so themselves. When two such road users meet you get 'accidents', but it is just poor skills all round.

[@wagmiorngmi]

[@chrisfifield-smith]

The cammer closes the gap forcing the overtaking car to try to overtake the second car. Highway code is clear, if someone is overtaking you need to back off and make space for them. Cammer is as bad, or worse than the overtaking car by preventing the overtaking car from pulling in at a safe time. Disgusting behaviour, and potentially deadly. I think both the overtaking car and the cammer in this case made some really bad decisions. I'm sick of people closing gaps. If you don't want to overtake, fine. If you're happy driving at 40 in a 60, fine. But why be so aggressive and dangerous when someone overtakes? Stupid all round.

The car was indicating. Go frame by frame. Not only were they indicating they were indicating when and where the bicycle could have seen it. They probably did observe. The bicycle would have been directly behind when they looked. The bicycle swerved left into blindspot just as they begin to turn. To be honest, even if they weren't turning, they would have wanted to drift left sharpish as they were still in oncoming traffic after passing the parked lorry. Just stupid to swerve to suddenly pass on the left whatever the reason the car was slowing down.

[@AzguardMike]

looks like the car had overtook the cyclist, only indicated AFTER the bike was passing by. Id say the car is at fault. All he had to do was hold back an extra 5 seconds then turn left. Instead he had the brain rot of "must get in front"

2:30 judging by the angle the car comes into from he was overtaking the cyclist and misjudged his speed when his turn cam up

[@martinhutchinson9265]

My reading of it is that he's pulling wide around the cam vehicle, dithering and slowing looking for the left turn, and the cyclist feels held up and decides to go for the inside. Not the brightest move, never filter like that. Earlier indicator would have helped though.

[@funlovingvoyeur]

@@martinhutchinson9265 The car brakes hard (he slows down, but I would not call that slowing), started to turn in and only then turned on his blinker.

@@martinhutchinson9265 who is going to turn wide in a normal car? The car was just trying to overtake de cyclists before his turn

[@Disposalist]

Nope. Watch again. You can pause and go frame by frame using comma and fullstop keys. The car is overtaking the lorry that has the dashcam in it. The bicycle is behind (but very close - way closer than any car or motorcycle would or should) as they come into view. The car is already indicating when the bicycle is behind them. Check it frame by frame. The bicycle is in the rear view of the car when they first begin to slow down. The car slows to turn - there is no indication they are braking hard at all. The bicycle then chooses not to slow down, but to swerve to the left of the car. A car signalling left. That has just passed a lorry and is wanting to get back on it's own side of the road in the face of oncoming traffic, even if they weren't going to turn left. The fault is the cyclist. What they did was stupid in several ways.

[@v52gc]

@@DisposalistWhilst the cyclist was stupid taking their priority instead of actually bothering to be cautious, the car turning should have given way to the cyclist. See Highway Code rules H3, 170 and 182.

[@bestintheworld568]

2:23 legally, the car is at fault, but it’s harsh. The cyclist has shown a distinct lack of situational awareness there by trying to speed past on the inside. I will say, we don’t see the situation before the car and cyclist come into view, might have been a MGIF on the cars part 🤷‍♂️ Edit: looking at it again, definitely driver fault. Cyclist taking more evasive maneuvers by going to the left if anything. They had nowhere else to go.

[@hammerofolympia3716]

Yep, trying to avoid going into the back of the car because the car needed to get in front then decides to pretty much stop.

[@Disposalist]

Nope. Check frame by frame if you like. The car was indicating left from when the bicycle was behind it (not left of it). They had just passed a parked lorry (the one with the cam) and were in line, bicycle behind car. Maybe the cyclist didn't see the indicators (even though they were directly behind them), but they basically decided, as the car slowed to turn left, they would swerve around them rather than slow down. Ridiculous behaviour. To be honest, even if the car hadn't been turning they would still have slid left, because they were in oncoming traffic after passing the lorry. For the bicycle to choose that moment to swerve around to its left was crazy.

Nissan needs to check mirrors before turning regardless, but that's but we don't pedal like mad through traffic If the Nissan overtook the cyclist while going around the parked cam car only to then immediately brake and turn through the cyclist, they shouldn't be driving anything bigger than a mobility scooter

#6 the car driver is 100% at fault. Slow down playback to 0.25. The cyclist had been overtaken. 02:30 (start of second) car enters frame , nearside wheels on left of line as it is cutting back in after passing cyclist. 02:30 (end of second) car fully in frame, cyclist appears, car now clearly angling back to left, not much clearance in front of cyclist. 02:31 car cuts into path of cyclist and brakes then indicates. 02:32 cyclist is trying to go left to avoid a collision but gets hit.

[@Disposalist]

Lol. You slowed it down and still didn't see? Maybe pause and go frame by frame (use comma and fullstop keys). The car and bicycle have both just passed a lorry. You know - the vehicle that has the dashcam whose footage you are watching. They are both moving back to resume the left lane after overtaking. The bicycle is behind the car. Very little clearance indeed. The car is slowing down and the bicycle is not. As it comes into shot the car is already indicating. Check it. The indicator flash is visible while the bicycle is still behind. The car slows to make its turn. The bicycle decides not to slow down but to swerve left and pass the car, so I suppose he didn't see the left indicator or think maybe a car just having passed a lorry might want to return to the left hand lane.

[@doodlesbug]

​@@Disposalist ​I disagree with your viewpoint and that's fine. The car driver is still 100% to blame either way; overtaking a cyclist to make a left turn contravenes Highway Code H3. I do think the car driver was likely not concentrating hence the late indicate and it got to a point the cyclist was camouflaged and invisible to the car driver - the dark lower clothing and white top matching the tyres/chassis and cabs of (probably) the camera vehicle and certainly the van + trailer in front. I'm not an on-road cyclist but I'm a firm believer in BE SEEN. That's why I wear bright red or orange when on my motorbike because most of my journeys have green hedgerow backgrounds and I stand out in the contrasting colours. Stay safe out there, be seen.

Number 6; Mirror, signal maneuver, that's what everyone is taught and whatever everyone knows. The black car slammed it's brakes on - a maneuver - started to turn - another maneuver - THEN signaled, no doubt not looking in the mirror at any point. Whilst many will presume the cyclist was trying to cheekily undertake, you can see that they were going to the same speed as the traffic flow and had to make an emergency maneuver of their own once the black car had rammed it's brakes on. OF COURSE the cyclist is going to go left in this situation, because you're not going to go to the right side, into oncoming traffic.

#1 hand your own licence in, you’d reasonably expect traffic to join from the left, yet you made no allowance or adjustment for the situation, instead you nearly caused an accident because you “were in the right”.

[@owieprone]

Yeah he could have slowed, but the junction was closer than it looks, as lorry was already past the start of the exit when car appeared - joining car should have sped up or stopped before joining as it wasn't clear, they should know from their driving style if they will cause an issue. It's a very short distance (7-8 seconds at ~60mph). Lorry driver would have reasonably expected them to get to at least 50 by the time he got to them considering they're joining a 70.

[@davidwotherspoon8967]

I answered the question of 'who was at fault'. Thank you for sharing your opinion as to 'how much' at fault each party was. If you had to put numbers on it, what would they be? 70-30 for me.

[@goodguykonrad3701]

2:28 If you just want to look at legal culpability the driver is at fault. Vehicles turning left are meant to give way to cyclists approaching from behind. They also moved without indicating which is pretty bad (indicating as you move doesn't count and serves no purpose). That being said, it was very poor from the cyclist. Why put yourself in a dangerous position instead of slowing to let them clear or ensure you've been seen? Just looking for "who's at fault" in an incident isn't very helpful because in most situations all parties involved tend to contribute to the problem. Much better to ask what could everyone have done better.

Not slow enough for a left-side filter for me. I always go on the outside, at least you're not going to get hooked. My guess is the car started slowing and looking for the turn, the cyclist felt held-up, and tried to dive past. Probably 50/50.

I don't know where that tosser of a cammer in the first clip comes from, but that is very similar to several of the junctions on the A-34, where the joining lane is extremely short, and if you are in a low powered car, you simply can't accelerate up to speed that fast in such a short distance. There is no hard shoulder and nowhere else to go. The answer is, that if you are on the faster main road in those situations you take your foot off the throttle and let the car merge. You don't stay on the throttle and the horn at the same time. I should add that the A34 is one of the most dangerous roads around because of those very short on-ramps entered from tight bends and no escape path. What it requires is drivers with some awareness and consideration of what are difficult junctions and just lay off the throttle a bit, as when they don't, there are some horrendous accidents.

#16 at 6:06 While ignorant and idiotic, it wasn’t illegal as all traffic had stopped. It is only illegal to overtake the lead moving vehicle at a crossing otherwise there would be problems when there are two lanes and one of them stationary

[@Stone2200]

This is incorrect. It is illegal to overtake the last vehicle before the stop line on the zigzag markings in a single lane. If there are two lanes in the same direction this is a different situation as both lanes are treated as separate single lanes for the purposes on the crossing. If there is queuing traffic in one lane it is legal to overtake or undertake if the queue is in the right lane as long traffic is moving slower than the left lane. What the taxi did in this clip is illegal as they are overtaking in a single lane. Highway code rule 191 states You MUST NOT park on a crossing or in the area covered by the zig-zag lines. You MUST NOT overtake the moving vehicle nearest the crossing or the vehicle nearest the crossing which has stopped to give way to pedestrians.

[@smilerbob]

@@Stone2200 Where does rule 191 state that is for single lane? Where does the legislation state that is for single lane? It is quite clear in the wording: Must not overtake the moving vehicle closest to the crossing - all traffic was stationary so not valid Must not overtake the vehicle nearest the crossing which hs stopped to give way to pedestrians - there were no pedestrians on the crossing so not valid It is annoying as I have reported drivers for doing this exact thing and was told categorically that no offence had been commited as the vehicles were stationary and there were no pedestrians on the crossing

@@Stone2200 It is a massive loophole and one that gets exploited by a few drivers out there. It is something I would never do and it did surprise me when my report was rejected with no further action, especially as one of the vehicles was a bus I think the wording ces about as they don’t define the number of lanes in the legislation so they need to keep all lanes moving. All they need to do is add an extra line for not overtaking stationary vehicles within the zig zags on single lanes where the vehicle has stopped due to traffic. That, with the others, should be enough to stop this behavior, or at least make it an offence to then hopefully stop the behaviour over time 👍 Take care out there, it is a mad world with crazy drivers

[@NicoleShrinks]

Regarding who was at fault, without seeing what happened immediately before the clip it's hard to say definitively, but to my eyes, the car has overtaken the cyclist, to then immediately indicate to go left , past them, into the shopping area. If that is the case, the car driver is at fault, and should have simply waited for the cyclist to go past. I find it quite unlikely that the cyclist was going so fast that it was able to encroach on the car's space, but if that were the case, then the cyclist is at fault. However, both do share a modicum of blame regardless. The car should have been indicating well before the turn, not 'starts to indicate during the turn' and if the cyclist was just overtaken it should've been taking steps to avoid a situation, especially coming alongside a car that was slowing down.

To me it looked like the cycle was in "primary" position in the flow of traffic whist going past the parked vehicle rather than had just been overtook. I can't tell when the indication started but the car was slowing as it came into view, rather than slowing the cyclist chose to swerve, possibly as he was too close, and he picked the wrong side to go. Poor position for a left turn from the car probably made the cyclist think it was turning right. Everyone could of done better.

Possibly the car had just overtaken him before passing cammer, then the cyclist maintained his speed. Hard to tell from the footage. The cyclist appears to be directly behind the car as they come into view though so who knows

[@jamieridler1921]

Not a lot of footage to see what happened on the approach but does look like he went to undertake a vehicle that was clearly indicating. Ofc, could well be that the car overtook then immediately turned left as he passed the cyclist. Like I said, can't see enough of the approach and what took place of screen.

[@Simon-rx7sv]

100% cyclist. he was behind the car, car signal turning left he thought he could shoot through the gap, I am a cyclist myself. if he was along side the car it would be the cars fault but he was behind it

[@Michelle_Schu-blacka]

You do realise that undertaking is nothing special for cyclists. If you're passing a slower vehicle, you're going to do it on the left hand side, not pull all the way out, overtake, then move back to the left.

[@TheCatBilbo]

Motorist at fault: don't overtake a cyclist immediately before a junction, when turning left. Hold the overtake & allow the cyclist to get ahead; signal to overtake parked vehicles (if necessary) & then to turn left.

[@underwaterbubbles]

Car and cyclist, the car driver had passed the cyclist so he knew he was there but then chose to cut in front of the cyclist at the last minute. The car driver looked as though he was going straight on. I would have to have passed a comment passing baldy sat at the lights getting nowhere.

[@Teapot-Dave]

Who is at fault? I would say 50/50. Cyclist must have seen the car starting to turn, so could have waited , or overtaken on the right-hand side. Car-driver should have seen the Cyclist was there when he overtook him before turning across his path. Neither of them covered themselves in glory here.

#6 cyclist at fault for me - highway code says the following: "when cycling on the road, only pass to the left of large vehicles when they are stationary or slow moving and you should proceed with caution as the driver may not be able to see you. Be particularly careful on the approach to junctions or where a large vehicle could change lanes to the left". Clearly the cyclist was not obeying this instruction in the Highway Code. He was already tailgating the car as they enter the screen as well. Too many MAMILs think they're just as invincible on 2 wheels and dressed in Lycra as they are in their cars. Ride defensively and don't be in such a rush - keep the speed for where it's safe to do so and in town isn't it. If it were car vs car then the undertaking driver would be at fault and I can't see why it's any different just because the idiot was on 2 wheels and not 4. All the gear and no idea!

[@SamualRobotham-IWasOnlyKidding]

I’m not entirely sure about that. It appears, to me, that the car had overtaken the cyclist as its speed “appears” to be higher just at the point it come into frame. It then seems to turn left without indicating. Without the preceding few seconds either scenario could be valid.

[@Cheesite]

Honestly if you lack the self preservation to a ride a push bike alongside multiple ton powerful machines driven by humans then yeah...

[@satans_son666]

@@SamualRobotham-IWasOnlyKidding It appears the car was travelling at around the same speed as the bus in front, the cyclist was clearly up the cars ass and as it slowed to turn left, indicators on well in advance, the cyclist decided he should undertake.. his fault 100%

[@hicky62]

I don't think so. The car appears to have just overtaken the cyclist and then decided to turn left, cutting across the cyclists path. The driver failed to take into account the closeness of the driveway and the speed of the cyclist. Definitely the drivers fault. I agree in riding defensively, but the cyclists speed was less than the cars and the car has just overtaken him, which then negates your point of an undertaking driver. The person with no idea is yourself.

[@Cheesite]

@waltersobchak1719 you can't control what other people do so it's self preservation not to put yourself in the situation.

[@macaalf8219]

2:36 There was no way the car driver would have been able to see the cyclist in timebecause he was straight behind them until trying to "filter" at a completely unreasonable speed. No sane person on a motorbike would attempt this ridiculous overtake (this is what I always ask myself looking at these kind of scenarios.! The car driver's only fault was indicating too late. Also if the safe distance for cars overtaking cyclists AT SPEED is 1,5m it should be the same the other way round!

[@ryanalexander4423]

TRUCK driver says idiot does U turn it was obvious as a red light that that was their intention . SHOW CONSIDERATION FOR OTHERS.

[@Rybo-Senpai]

no it was not clear as day they were going to do a U-turn....only lights they had on were brake lights plus road positioning on the left "i'm slowing/stopping". a right hand indicator tied to their road positioning on the left, would have screamed "i'm doing a U-turn" that indicator makes all the difference. their lack of the indicator shows a complete unawareness of their surroundings, if i was making that U-turn regardless of if something was behind me or not, i would have thrown on the indicator....and looked in those things called mirrors.....the majority of bad driving comes from a lack of awareness of whats around you.

[@MrMaster2262]

#6 i would of said the driver was at fault ...i can bet that car driver had just overtaken the cyclist to do an immediate left rather than just wait a few seconds... you can tell from the road positioning that an overtake had just taken place.

As much as I hate cyclists thanks to Cycling Mikey and Jeremy Vine, car is at fault there for the simple reason that it had to get past the cyclist to make that turn so it must have known he was incoming. Just hold back behind him, cyclist looks like he was zipping along, it would have cost a second.

@@JohnCarlyle if that was the case (which it probably wasn't), how did the cyclist get to be behind the car, to then swerve left to undertake the car?

[@ArminGrewe]

@Leidolfr exactly, it's not rocket science to notice the cyclist is behind as in the centre behind the car, not towards the left of the car already. Which is why the cyclist swerves left to undertake the car. This might mean that the car overtook the cyclist at some point, but it could also mean the cyclist was behind the car the whole time. You have no proof whatsoever for your rather confident assertion that the car overtook the cyclist. None. None whatsoever.

[@AzguardMike]

@Leidolfr 100% agree, its a case of "must get in front" only to then swerve left and indicate. If the car just held back an extra 5 seconds he wouldnt of hit the cyclist. And the bit that makes me laugh is these muppets moaning the bike is on the left. If he took priority dead centre they'd be yelling for him to keep left. And if he was on the right, they'd be complaining he was riding into traffic. Toxic community on here towards cyclists

@@ArminGrewe It looked to me that the cyclist had to swerve to avoid the overtaking and then standing on the brake guy in the car. It seems he saw his turn too late.

Both at fault imo - car clearly overtook and then slammed on, indicating at the point of turn rather than checking mirrors, then indicating, then making the turn. Cyclist was probably going a little too fast to anticipate what was going on up ahead and should have cycled a little more defensively.

The cyclist is at fault. Haven't seen the clip yet. What happened?

[@unofficialleeds9084]

#6 both parties could have done much better. The cyclist was following very close to the Nissan and probably could have anticipated the left turn manoeuvre from the car (although this may have looked much different from the cyclist's perspective). The car driver however indicated far too late, likely only out of habit, rather than in consideration of other road users and clearly didn't do their observations effectively. Also, the size of the vehicle relative to the cyclist means they have much more responsibility to look after more vulnerable road users to prevent incidents like this. I wonder if this was a blind spot issue as well, modern SUV's have huge blind spots to the point of being borderline dangerous, as well as the size of the vehicle. I hope the cyclist is ok, left hooks can be nasty and I hope the driver isn't too shaken up.
