Driver Cyclist arguement with a brilliant ending NSFW or kids

Cyclist comes across as a complete wanker too to be honest.

Aye this breed of cyclist who cycle round with camera's like some sort of cycling vigilante calling out number plates do seem to look for confrontation, and it seems a bit obsessive to me anyways. Lots of wanker drivers around but in most of these clips the cyclist never comes away smelling of roses otherwise.

Cycling on the footpath at the end. Tut tut! 40 euro fine is it?

Pair of them in it to be fair.


"The language, you wouldn't hear it from a docker"

"Ah you would Ted, they're very rough "

so what happened in the end? was the driver reported?

The slow motion fall was class I just wet myself and fell off my chair.

You mean not at all or at the discretion on the garda at the time.

All this video needs is some Benny Hill music and to be played as treble the speed.

A bit of good entertainment before bed time

Had to watch it without sound, as herself is watching something on the box, and can't be arsed locking for earphones. but I think I have the gist of it. Driver passes a little close to a cyclist. Cyclist pursue driver words are had, driver tears off, cyclist pursue him again. Driver pull in attempt to knock cyclist over and snots himself.

Ah it's way more funnier with the sound on!

Like all videos when a cyclist mentions "I'm going to put you on youtube" it's a tale of two dickheads!
They cyclist could have easily just handed the footage to the police and reported the bloke but instead went hunting for the argument to make his youtube video worth watching for the spitting spastic!
The attitude of the driver is the typical one of those that think their car has more right to the road.

All in all two twats and neither should be on the road

Whilst the cyclist does comes across as a twat, why should he not be on the road? He did nothing wrong (apart from cycling on the footpath at the end which given he was fleeing an attempted assault is understandable).

On the other hand, the car driver firstly failed to give adequate space to a fellow road user, then tried to blame the cyclist for the issue, then threatened to kill him.

One of them is annoying, the other appears to be mentally unstable and not a good candidate for giving a 1 tonne engine powered vehicle.

There has also been people on here giving out about guys who film these events as if it is their fault. I agree that they seem to encounter a large amount of these events, but if the drivers actually behaved in a respectful manner and followed the rules of the road then there would be no clips to show. It is worrying that so many of these clips exist. I dread to think if I got a camera and actually started to take account of the numerous times I get close to issues like these, but I simply pass them off and move on.

Maybe its cowardly on my part to avoid (what I believe) is a pointless confrontation. Maybe its because I don't want to remind myself of the dangers. Maybe if all road users took note of other offences then we would all quickly start to behave better.

Because he suffers from road rage just as much as the aggressive driver does. Whilst not the initiator he certainly didn't help the situation in any way.
I cycle through dublin city every day and have had more than my fair share of buzzings from cars, vans, busses and even other cyclist. I've not always held my cool when it's happened but I've never gone and chased a car down or looped back on myself to get to one.

I'd be interested to find out if this footage ever made it to the police and if so who would they put more blame on.
The world and it's mother can see the driver is at fault, there is no doubting it but the guy on the bike went after him with the sole purpose of letting him know he was putting him on youtube. Why not just put him on youtube after getting home safely minus the stand up argument

Both absolute twats but:

a) the driver gave him plenty of room. You can see from the rear camera that he's four or five feet away from him and on the front camera that he was driving at the far right of the lane.

b) In his desire to make a show of things, the cyclist nearly snots several pedestrians, which nobody appears to make any mention of.

why did lovindublin even post this, except as clickbait? the attempt to justify it as part of a debate is awfully flimsy.

Because they're a shower of idiots who, when grouped together, don't appear to have the intelligence to spell either "journalism" or "editing" or "entertainment". A sham and a scam of the highest order.

Cyclists at fault here, there was ample room for the bike. Typical modern behaviour, he felt entitled to harass the driver. What a muppet.

It won't be long before one of these go pro idiots gets seriously hurt.

Cyclist must get nowhere if he follows people around for something like that.

Maybe it is due to the wide angle lens but I have to say the car does not appear to actually get that close to the cyclist or be going that fast initially....would like to have seen that bit from another angle to get a better idea of distance apart and speed

if as I suspect he wasn't that close then even though the driver seems to be a foul mouthed gob****e by the sounds of things I'd be on his side and be of the opinion that the cyclist is a little bit of a self righteous busy body we could all do without having to share the roads with regardless of how many wheels you travel on.....I'd feel like giving him a couple of thumps if he followed me to blame me in the wrong.

It's basically impossible to accurately judge how much room yer man actually had. Lenses can be a bit mental on those cameras, and we can't see his handlebars for reference.

It's not really, cyclist was a doors width away front the cars, driver went around him with out team cyclist not having to change his course I'd say there was room for two cars in between the parked cars. Plenty of room for a pass
