Wow! close call! I did laugh when you screamed at them. Did you say wanker or wake up? also I see that it is a bit foggy out, do you use any headlights or blinking lights? stay safe

@t1sutton Yea... As I see it again.... I would not have blamed you if you had turned around and gave this guy (or WOMAN) a punch in the face.. What an idiot...
I don't understand why so many dislikes. I bet you weren't holding up traffic at that speed and your positioning was fine. If you were on the left you would have hit him and any further right you would have been too close to the on coming car. I'm a motorbike rider and we get put into the same situations as cyclists every time by lazy, irresponsible drivers. From what I see, nothing can be learnt from this video, your position was fine just a sad reminder anything can happen. Thanks for the vids
best. wanker. roar. EVER. d(^^ d) I can't tell you how many times this has happened to me here in Calgary, Canada. We have a viciously steep hill here called Home Road, get up to ~50-60 kph (~30 mph) going down hill. Got my big yellow safety vest on, flashing front light, whole thing... had an SUV pull out in front of me, not less than 20 meters ahead. I screamed and did my best to avoild; buddy didn't even stop, clipped my knee, sent me off. He's now suspended for hit and run.
If he had been more to the left he would have ploughed into the cunt driver, have you thought ''TesterAnimal1 had already looked behind and ensured it was clear to do so before moving to the centre of the road, this was so he was more visable to the cars. Most car drivers only look for vechicles and not us cyclists.
I don't get it, the people carrier thing was miles away from you when he turned and the wanker cry happened before the other guy pulled out in front of you?
Oh man, I can't help but find the "Waaaaaaankeeeeer!!!!" war cry funny... but only because I've been in the same situation many a time. I really do wonder about the thought process of many a driver. And then a driver will often hesitate when faced with a cyclist in that situation. Yeah, stop right there and let me crash into you, dickhead! Rant over, sorry. Glad you managed to survive!
Here's an idea dumbass. Slow down. I'm a rider but I'm not going to save my momentum when faced with that situation. It's simple to observe the driver's behaviour and look to see if they have noticed you before coming out.
soo many clueless f**ks on you tube, that have no idea how dangerous that was, especially in the WET! why are pricks like whitevanman72 (classic) and yourtuber1999 (theres another) even watching these vids, just f off and do us all a favour.
lol, i thought i had a pair lungs when it can to shouting on the road, but that was very impressive :)
Can I ask, were you using lights on your bike at that point. Honestly, from your videos it looks like you're not. It might be worth doing during conditions where the visibility isn't ideal.
Thankfully you were not hit. That would of been horrible. Nice lane positioning. i wouldn't of been going that fast considering the wet roads. How fast were you going?
The 'A' pillar may have blocked his view, thats the trouble with modern 'safe' vehicles with all the reinforcement for the 'safety cage' making the pillars thicker, thus increasing the danger to the most vulnerable road users.... You avoided the SMIDSY through spot on positioning and a well executed avoidance manoeuvre.
@finbat...in my state it says if you are riding a bicycle you must be out of the way of traffic. If you are blocking traffic, like bikers do when they stop right in the middle of the street at a traffic light, then you can be ticketed.
Even in countries where bicycles are the norm you must be over to the right and out of traffic.
@wetweasel56 I will remember that if I am ever cycling in your state. But the world is bigger than your state. In this country we are taught to stop right in middle of the lane at junctions - that is common sense. Don't know what your using over there.
@finbat....I rode a bike for years and would never feel comfortable in lane in front of a vehicle. That's stupidity and lots of people are getting killed because of it. Don't matter, thinning the herd of idiots in this world is a good thing.
@wetweasel56 Whoa there, thats a gross misrepresentation of the facts.The majority of UK cyclists hit havent been taking the lane in this way. For the speed this guy was in the right place and this is backed up by the various training schemes here.
Just because you dont understand a situation doesnt make it wrong. It just means you have to work harder to understand.
@wetweasel56 Common sense, it sounds like the governor or ever made up the the laws in your state never had much and probably never got out of their home town. By being further out there finbat should have been more visible and had time to get out of the way, just ! its certainly better than the other option of being less visible and T boning the side of the car. And by the way not all countries drive on the right ;-)
@drsquirrel0....If you are in the middle at a traffic light, stopped, yeah you are not holding up anyone. But as soon as the light changes you are because a bike can't get up to speed as fast as a car so they are holding up traffic.
You idiots that bike with cars are all going to bite it one day and I think the last thing that will go through your mind is weas was right, I'm stupid. LOL!
@wetweasel56 Actually I regularly out accelerate cars, and when I'm behind them I'm always being held up by them as they dawdle from the line.
In town they hold me up too.
People die in cars too - sometimes they don't die but end up vegetables because certain people insist on driving like idiots and don't care about others.
At least the cyclists that don't hug the kerb will have a better chance at being safe than your idea of kerb hugging.
You sound like a 15 year old, even if you aren't...
@drsquirrel0...sure you mean something else, you mean to insult my pseudonym. Not a very good insult though. Read the book and insult away if you want.
@gadgetmind...to live in a place where cars have the right-away is great. We don't have bike lanes and until we do they need to stay on the sidewalks.
@gadgetmind....CO2 emissions testing is done on all vehicles here. They are set by the EPA and if you can get the EPA to tell you then you will be doing better than I can.
Fat people? Yeah we got Fat people. But you want to know something interesting? The majority of Fat people are the poor, you know, the ones with no education and lots of government funded programs like food stamps and welfare. Guess my point is that being Fat has a lot to do with stupidity and people are Fat everywhere.
@wetweasel56 I'm not seeing answers to either of my questions. Obesity is measured as a percentage and CO2 as kilos per adult per year. - tell me more about where you are and I'll even look these up for you. Regards your local poverty and education problems, while these are clearly of a serious nature and do have a bearing on how unpleasant a place it is to live, they aren't really relevant to cycling, whereas obesity levels and CO2 emissions are.
@wetweasel56 Thanks to him riding down the middle of the street, he managed to avoid the plonker that pulled out of the side road without looking properly
