he’s forced his way to the front of the queue, the car taking off isn’t across the road yet and the other car is up the inside of him, the car cutting the corner has absolutely no clue he’s there obviously.
Cyclists have to follow the rules of the road the same as a car. I’d have no bother with him getting to the front of the queue if there was a box for cyclists a little ahead of the junction which there is sometimes. There isn’t here. He’s on the outside of two cars. It’s very dangerous for himself to put himself in that position
The motorist wasn’t able to see the cyclist so he should not be blamed for the accident. There’s a lesson to learn for cyclists, be smart at junctions . Good to see the decency of the people on scene at work.
I’m not just blaming the cyclist. I’m apportioning equal blame to both parties in the accident.
You’re trying to make it sound like the driver performed a deliberate action to wipe out the cyclist.
Nobody will go to jail for this.
Trying to equate this to a serious crime makes you look a cunt.
He hasn’t actually passed two cars, the BMW is clearly turning left and he’s positioned himself behind the other one.
As far as I see it the cyclist hasn’t done anything wrong, the driver has driven on the wrong side of the road and ploughed him down, I can’t see how they’re equally to blame at all?
he’s half way up the side of the first car that’s turning right. it doesn’t matter where the second car is turning. It’s a tight single lane. If he waits until he can get to the front of the queue, fully visible and with an unobstructed view to the left and to the right then this doesn’t happen.
If i was on a bike I’d always expect a car to cut a corner.
You’re right he hasn’t taken the second car but he has overtaken the first with no clear path for him to get to the front of the queue.
@backinatracksuit - the cyclist has a responsibility on the road to ensure they can be seen at all times right? the guy very obviously cannot be seen by anything turning right on that T junction.
