Highway code 169 , if you cause a tail back surely some consideration is warranted and pulling over a bit and allowing him to overtake , 168 you were obstructing an overtaking vehicle .

@johng6715 Erm Tailback ? what tailback? THis was a single car with an impatient prick behind the wheel. All he had to do was wait a few seconds until we had all cleared the bend and he could have overtaken perfectly safely.

You continued defence of poor driving sugests that you are probably someone who shoul dnot hold a driving licence and I hope for the sake of everyone on the road tha tyou do not drive.

get of the road!! i hate those annoying bikers that ride in the middle of the street going 15mph!! do expect the driver to wait for you to move over!!

@YH95HATTAB There is nothing at al wrong with my road poitioning here. The only problem is the dangerous inpatience of the driver. If you think this move by the driver is OK then I seriously hope that you do not drive on the UK roads. If you do then I sugest reading the highway code and also googling the phrase "Take the lane". Better still get out on a bike once in a while, it will teach you a lot about the unacceptably poor standards of driving in the UK today.

No actually your the twat for riding with one hand so you can make a dumbass video........which rule is it in the highway code that says about using a mobile while driving (yes a cyclist is considered a driver and can still be procescuted under the same law).

@aquanick2001 No actually your the twat...... for thinking I would be cycling along holding a mobile phone or video camera. The camera is mounted on my helmet.

@johng6715 One vehicle behind, blind corners, oncoming traffic, and what does that say to you as a driver? Overtake at all costs, or wait a few seconds until it's safe to overtake? Which one would you be doing if you had to resit your driving test and had the examiner next you?

I've nothing against pulling over to allow a queue of traffic past, and do this regularly, but this video situation is not one where I would be doing this. I've no doubt that 2FlatErics would ride in much the same way.

@aquanick2001 LOL, Captn. Observant are you? Never heard of helmet cameras?

Dreadful.  I sometimes wonder what goes through their tiny minds.

The insertion of the relevant Highway Code section is a nice touch.

Shocking, and the view of the blend you had was so much better than the cars as your head was above the car and to the left giving you a better view around and over the hedge. If something bigger came round the corner you just know their safety will come before yours and you will be forced across or off the road.
