Mind you I drive around Cardiff a lot, there's enough stupid driving (and equally dangerous bike riding) to make want to stab your own eyeballs out.

he doesn't have a suggestion for what this person should be charged with, but he gives you the reg number anyway. the guy makes something that isn't really a problem into a vendetta problem. http://www.phase7.org/DodgeyDrivers/...ery/Item13.htm |

Re: Them reckless idiots on bikes again.
I've been commuting by pedal power for over a decade now and have seen many idiots on bikes but obviously a lot more idiots behind the wheel of a vehicle.
IMHO the key to communting by bike (and staying alive) is to cycle defensively, not the aggressive behaviour that this person is displaying at times. The vast majority of vehicle drivers don't understand the dangers to cyclists so they often aren't aware of how dangerous they are driving. Education and increased awareness is the way forward. There was a campaign on a few years ago to educate professional drivers about cyclists on the road. I would say from personal experience that it was successfull, as white van man, lorry drivers etc are among the most courteous to me on the road. It used to be the same with bus drivers but there seems to be a new breed of bus driver, mainly immigrant so probably not here when the campaign was active, who think that a cyclist requires as much room on the road as the width of a cycle tyre. |
Re: Them reckless idiots on bikes again.
This is my patch and I'm ashamed to say that the driving standards are this bad... and often worse. Many drivers don't seem to care about cyclists at all... and I've even seen the boys in blue on bikes being cut up!
Then again, many cyclists fail to heed the rules of the road... I've been confronted by cyclists riding towards me on the wrong side of the road. Even on dual carriageways! |
Re: Them reckless idiots on bikes again.
I regularly cycle 6 miles to university campus, and the 2 or 3 miles or so actually on the road, especially at rush hour, makes me wanna smash a few windows in the driving's so bad. There's a few crossroads on the route where I live and the amount of drivers going through red lights and blocking access when trying to turn right when the light's gone red (you must know the kind of junctions I'm talking about, the ones with no provision for right-turn access) borders on insanity. Thankfully, the last 3 miles is on dedicated cycle routes, so no cars to contend with, only glass and hills.

Re: Them reckless idiots on bikes again.
The bloke on the bike is an idiot and what is the legal standing of him posting video footage and reg numbers online?
