3 dead, and the guy was fretting about his phone charger.
Damn thats some pileup - the guy filming is quite funny too
Speaking of icy/snowy conditions;
Note on this video> ... always drive past an accident like this (whether you're stopping to help or continuing on), because if u stop like the guy did in this vid the road is now completely blocked and the next car that comes along will crash into the two cars blocking the road. This goes double for icy/snowy conditions.
...I'm not condoning what those 2 farmers do...
Wrong as usual Andrew. At least you're consistent with it.
Would it be a shock to learn that most cyclists also drive?
Wait till you hear about drivers Chewy
Do the dangerous drivers we often see on this thread give fellow drivers like you and me a bad name?
Great to see people defending illegal use of roads by unattended cattle while taking a swipe at cyclists.
Any videos?
D_ckheads on both sides so! To quote Rodney King "Can't we all just get along?"
At times that has happened yes. There is a thread in the cycling forum called near misses. At times some regular posters in this forum have gone in and blankly defended drivers. So yes it does happen. Maybe not to the regularity of cyclists in here but you have to remember that most cyclists are also motorists/drivers. The same doesn't reverse. I come in here as I'm both. A person who only drives and never cycles would hardly visit the cycling forum.
What's actually quite common in the cycling forum is a driver coming in to rant at a situation that happened e.g. "I was driving on a country road, came around a corner and a cyclist in the middle of the road almost caused me to crash. You all should be banned from the roads." That's actually a real example btw and a common theme. Now after some questioning about the details of the scenario we find out said driver was coming around a blind bend north of 80kph and such. They exit the forum proclaiming all cyclists are the same and there's no talking to you.
Nothing in a twist, just making a point, it's allowed, glad you took it in. On your bike!
When the subject comes up people search the internet for them and then have to highlight them in a series of car drivers acting dangerously!!
No need to search, the video was recommended to be by youtube, it was only after seeing it that I thought about this thread.
No need to get your knickers in a twist. 🙄
I said not a word, did I say anything other than that? On yer bike!
Look bladespin, I'm a motorist myself, have a dash cam but very very very rarely have footage of cyclists endangering people. In fact I've none. When the subject comes up people search the internet for them and then have to highlight them in a series of car drivers acting dangerously!!
Now, if you have footage of cyclists you feel worthy of putting up... go for it. I'd love to see them.
Not a word about cyclists being awkward or impeding progress now please ;)
The selected clip from that video was a direct response to an earlier post, but you already know that.
Ah, I see you had to start it at a certain point to highlight the cyclist among the many car related incidents.
Yes, that's why I set the start time at the relevant section, the cyclist being a twat.
Mostly car related incidents on that video too.
Oops
Not that rare, sometimes real karma comes to those who deserve it the most! 😂

I guess is just so rare to see bad cyclist behaviour on dash cams in comparison to the hundreds of bad motorist behaviour on this thread.
That recording of the cyclists that's making peoples head melt is fairly benign, no threat to life, no danger, just three oul fella's out on a cycle having a chat & holding up a car for under a minute.
The video posted after it with the BMW dodgy overtake is sketchy as fook and presents much more danger to road users, but as it's fairly normal to see so doesn't get as much attention.
I don't see much of that kind of behaviour but the cycling forum is easily the biggest echo chamber of like minded smug self satisfied pompous asses as you'll find anywhere in my opinion
I'm just curious, do car drivers go over to the cycling forums and try to defend bad drivers like we see here with cyclists defending inconsiderate road usage by cyclists?
To me, bad driving exists with all forms of transport and I think that I can recognise it for what it is even if I also use the same form of transport
You wouldn't maybe but many others do every day.
In all fairness, one was considerate by keeping left, the second was a bit inconsiderate by riding in the middle,but the third was a complete twat as they were illegally riding on the wrong side of the road.
I was but the point remains, they were hogging the road. I both drive and cycle the road and there is enough room on it for everyone. Thankfully they went one way and I went another but what if we had both been going the same way. The road goes for a few km in either direction before coming to a junction. How long would I or someone else have been held up for.
I don't believe I've ever seen a herd of cows on the road there. As for a tractor, it has no choice. The other road users in this case did have a choice and they chose poorly.
