V776 EEF Gets Upset When Overtaken By A Cyclist
Please note that I realise that I called out an incorrect number plate on the video. It was only after viewing the footage that I discovered the mistake. The correct number plate has been posted in the title and tags. The dustmen were out this morning, so there was a bit of a queue on a usually pretty empty road. This young driver got caught napping it seems when I overtook him and then went on to pass the dustcart. He immediately showed his displeasure by revving up and driving close to my back wheel, even though I was keeping pace with traffic ahead and there was no room for him to pass anyway. As I moved back into the left lane after the dustcart, he made an aggressive move left, despite the brake lights clearly showing on the car ahead of me. I gave an open-handed slap on the back of his car to remind him that I was there and this seemed to infuriate him. Horn blasting he undertakes me, I'm going straight at the mini roundabout, so was riding in the right-hand approach lane as the left-hand lane is left turn only. We debate the matter and when it finally dawns on him that I'm filming him he drives off.

Cyclist Inconveniences Met Policeman BU60BZL
This officer's actions behind the wheel and attitude to road safety is truly shocking. I was turning right and indicating. My lane position is called 'Primary Position'. The direct question I should have asked was "why did you drive around me at speed?"

Overtake mistake
My mistake here. I decide to overtake some stationary traffic. As I approach the car at the back I notice the driver is distracted (reading). I pull over onto the outside lane to overtake and he decides to pull out too. He looks and stops. I should have taken a more prominent position in the outside lane, especially as I knew the driver was distracted. That would have given me more reaction time and made me more visible. as it happens, the driver saw me.

I hit a car
My fault, no question. My only mitigation is that I was about to pull out into the right hand lane. As I indicated and saw it was clear the car behind me pulled out quickly into the right lane meaning my intended route was blocked and so I had to head towards the car in front. Due to the extremely wet conditions my brakes didn't stop me quickly enough, thus I hit the back of the car. Oops!

White van driver teaches me a lesson
Coming off a roundabout the road widens then narrows (pinch point) so I remain in the primary position. Van driver behind me doesn't like it and sits right in my back wheel (battery had run out on rear camera!). He then passes me and out of concern for his proximity I put out a hand to defend myself (not much use but instinctive). He is close enough for my fingers to touch the back panel of his van. After passing me, he signals that I should be further over (no, because it is a pinch point, parked cars, junction etc). He then hits his brakes (nothing in front of him) forcing me to quickly brake (you can see my head lurch forward!) to avoid hitting him. I think I will be calling the police (V519 POC)

Road Rage - what was his problem?!?!
A guy probably having a bad day decides to take it out on an innocent member of the public, it could have come out much worse had the driver of this vehicle not kept calm and let the situation run it's course. People like this need help - where's Dr. Buddy Rydell (Anger Management for those of you who don't know) when you need him??? Recorded on a Novus Eye in-car black box recorder (no sound).

Driver Blocks Cyclist And Thinks This Is Appreciated
Get ready, this one has a longish lead in. So here I am riding into a light wind and keeping what I thought was a decent pace (~23mph), when I encounter this driver, trying to turn right. Can you tell how they've made this difficult manoeuvre just a little bit easier? Ah yes, they've blocked half of the road so they won't have to bother keeping an eye on approaching traffic from their right in order to concentrate on pulling out in front of traffic coming from their left. Clever eh? When I thanked this driver for forcing me to stop, I got a "Youre welcome" in response. That was nice.

Merc Can't Wait 2 Seconds
This mercedes driver could not wait just a couple of seconds as the road narrows, he had to squeeze in front of me. Who knows why...?

Pedestrian knocked under bus by cyclist, CONTAINS SWEARING AGAIN.
I assure you I am a better cyclist now & look out for jay walking pedestrians Do you know the people in this video? BBC ONE has commissioned a documentary that will look at the experiences of cyclists in the UK. The programme will feature a number of clips like this one, gathered from bike or helmet-mounted cameras. The idea is to tell the story of the clips from the different points of view of everyone involved. If you think you can help to identify the people in this video please send a message to AndyLeopardFilms. Many thanks.

Sunday morning agression
It was a lovely ride in on Sunday, apart from this incident. Pulling away from the lights I notice a car behind try to squeeze through in my lane. He can't and then pulls around me. As he passes he is shouting and waving his hands at me. I signal for him to pull over to find out what his problem is.... (Yes I know it isn't the best idea to ask a car to pull over, but I genuinely want to find out why drivers get so aggressive)

Getting Hit by a Car
Mass General Law MGL C90/S18: Failure to use care when turning. On 11/22/10 at about 3:47 pm, I was traveling northbound on North Pleasant st in Amherst, MA on my bike in a marked bike lane. A driver was traveling northbound on North Pleasant st in a 1996 Geo Prizm (MA plate 366DY7) and attempted to turn right into a private parking lot. The driver entered my bike lane, failing to yield, and hit me, causing me to be ejected from my bike. My bike sustained damage and I received several gashes and bruises from hitting the pavement. The driver was cited for MGL C90/S18: Failure to use care when turning, and her insurance paid for the bike to be rebuilt, a new camera, and medical bills.

WR52BMZ driver on phone, spits, drives at me, and threatens to punch me
Mythbusters: Drink driving vs cell phone driving: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vFcIpzF7pc Update: Having reported it, it turned out this van was registered to an abandoned pub in Peckham. Because of that the police couldn't trace the driver, and the 6 month statute limitation on common assault meant that the charge expired. I hope they caught him via ANPR at some point, the dirty scumbag. So, my impressions? On the phone as I come past, I stop in the gap between him and the vehicle in front. He drives at me from behind, spits at me, goes through a red light, and then threatens to punch me. Hasn't got the courage to do it on camera though. WR52BMZ WR52 BMZ WR52-BMZ

No one wants to let the cyclist through.
