    Too busy pushing to prevent a learner overtaking and eyeballing mirror to spot red light and car

    Driver only realized that he left his door dangerously wide open on a narrow 100km/h road after he heard the sound of my car's horn.

    That Phoenix park junction is crazy! Surely they could look at putting a small roundabout at least to make it more logical.

    All the roundabouts in that area are full of that crap, it's rare that people follow the lanes.


    The roundabouts are definitely a joke around D15, but still no excuse for driving like an idiot.

    Cyclist made the right move there, if it was me on a road like with that kind of traffic then I'd do the same. Wait for the red to move from the hard shoulder to the middle lane to turn right and head to the front to get a position to make sure when I get a green that some fool doesn't squeeze me on the apex of a turn and keep left once it's safe.

    Not having go but that would be my though process on a junction like that, the alternative being stick my right arm out in the hard shoulder and hope someone lets me in and is happy to sit behind me while I do 25-30 with my arm out waiting for someone in the next lane willing to do the same :pac:

    I think you'll find the complaint is about him waltzing off to his right to pass between myself and the grab truck at the second set of lights before pulling across the grey car to get back to the left.

    The first set of lights I know cyclists like to be ahead of the traffic and as I noted on the video that was what he was doing.

    Hope I don't meet you if you think that's the safe way to do that junction.

    1st clip here, absolutely nothing wrong with that. You had to ease up a tad, so what? By making you ease up a tad allows two vehicles through much quicker therefore making the roundabout more efficient.

    I much prefer to see this type of roundabout getaway than someone who is waiting an age for a gap big enough for an artic to open up. This causes far more delays and frustration all around.

    Nothing wrong, no complaints needed, no "waltzing". Good lane positioning, shoulder checking, non-distracted safe, fast cyclist with good spacial awareness, knew exactly where the other vehicles were, what speed they were traveling and what their intention were.

    Very little chance of an accident or collision.

    It's actully a relief to see a cyclist overtaking on the right. I see too many going into drivers larger blind spot on the left.
    He possibly planned to overtake the truck too if traffic hadn't started moving again so he was in the correct road position if that was the case.
