Tony's Dashcam - Cyclist at Pinch Point - Did I do anything wrong? #136
Approaching a pinch point and there's a cyclist in front. I slow down to let it go first. Did I do anything wrong?
EkimCF
commented:
The only thing you did wrong was calling it a 'pitch point' rather than a 'pinch point'. :P Lovely driving!

EkimCF
commented:
This gyratory is terrible for lazy cornering. I see this kind of thing on gyratories and RABs all the time... have ridden this one a couple of times on my old 125cc bike, and even in two visits have had a similar scare. See also: the silver car behind you from 0:53 to 1:01. Cuts up the car with h...

MW05 YNU - close pass, brake test, and deliberate attempt at hitting me
This started out as a simple close pass and became one man's demonestration of how bad a driver he is. Brake tests, mouting the kerb, swerving, and...
EkimCF
commented:
Many people will argue that you 'escalated' the situation. Effectively, from the driver's perspective, you did: they didn't see the initial close pass as an 'engagement', but you talking to them was. However, what you did, red-misted (catch up) and silly (pacing) as it may have been, is NO EXCUSE...

Hit by a Door (AF51RVA)

EkimCF
commented:
One for reporting, to be sure. Even if the door hadn't hit you, getting out of his car was clearly a threat and therefore assault.

EkimCF
commented:
@gaz545 Fair play. I should really get out on pedals more. I currently don't do it because I feel I'm unfit, but then by doing it I would get fit... catch 22, almost. :/ Still, stay safe out there man. Big fan of your, and many other cyclists', channels.

EkimCF
commented:
They follow the car that turns left at the mini-roundabout pretty closely, from the look of things. Standard impatience and 'must overtake' mentality. I had some silly passes on 30 and 40mph roads when I used to ride a 125cc with L plates, which seemed to invoke the 'must pass' mist as much as a ...

Bad Mikey? SG52UTF parked facing wrong way on single red and keep clear signs

EkimCF
commented:
Good use of the horn. He couldn't have seen you before moving off unless he looked through the windows of cars parked in front of him. He really shouldn't have gotten annoyed because this is a textbook example of how to use a sounding device to avoid an incident. I always say the horn is the most...

EkimCF
commented:
Did I hear right that she said, 'Same speed as a car,' when asked about your speed? Funny how, once you were on that topic (i.e. you doing the speed limit, rendering her overtake pointless), her next comeback was 'get a life'. Errr... what.

EkimCF
commented:
@CyclingMikey True, watching it again, judging by when you start to move to get out of the way, you haven't stopped overly close. The question I always ask myself when stopping in a queue is, can I move out to get around the vehicle if I need to.

Hnnngggg. People like this really challenge my ethos of calm deliberated response and pacifism. I'll just leave that comment rather than actually wish either of them bodily harm... They just don't make any sense! I mean... seriously, what?! Gah!

Looks to me slightly like he's already looking for a confrontation with you, before the horn... Speed envy perhaps? Hard to tell, though.
