    Looks like he wasn't the only one ignoring the signs, the car following would have crashed if the barrier was solid.

    The cyclist is slow, but not slow enough to overtake safely.

    But there is also traffic ahead so it would get them no where anyway. You can clearly see the accordion affect of the speed bumps, cyclist continues at an ave of (I guess ~25kmph) cars speed up and slow down for speed bumps, half the time there isn't even a car length between bike + car.

    People aren't trained to look far enough ahead and read the road so only fixate on the obstacles close by such as parked car, cyclists etc....

    If they read the road then they would notice the lights or traffic ahead making the pass absolutely pointless.

    Such a strange clip to include, if it was a car in front I doubt it would be included.

    Car is in front pretty much the whole 2 mins - that's why I was curious.

    If it was a car you wouldn’t care enough to comment so it’s all just a matter of perspective.

    I was more so just commenting on what I read....

    Didn't watch the full lot.

    Dunno like - if a clip was showing someone driving behind a car for 2 mins I would be just as curious?

    Apologies, I didn't realize that. Watched the first few clips and thought it was worth sharing.

    Defo worth sharing. I figured you hadn't watched it all the way through or would have put a warning in your op.

    The bit at 08:20 is what annoys me most about all these video compilations. The camera car being a pr1ck just to get a dashcam clip, it gets more and more obvious as time goes on, soon all dashcam videos will be the camera car doing something dangerous for the sake of Youtube views.

    No they won’t. There’s plenty out there doing stupid things without anyone looking for them.
