Car swerves into Cyclist

- Car pointlessly overtakes, then cuts off the cyclist, who is in the cycle lane. Then swerves into him. The driver was not aware of what she was doing. She only avoided driving into me because I shouted and hit her window. Then performed two dangerous maneuvers in an attempt to slow me down.
- Sport
Three points to note:-
1) Well Done for not reacting in a negative way, despite a second attempt (it seems) by the car driver to escalate, you just carried on your journey rather than argue. Best move ever.
2) The car driver certainly seems to deliberately involve you somehow, both in the 2nd infringement into the cycle lane, (the 1st may just have been poor driving, the 2nd either deliberate or very distracted).
3) Dayem you got some speed up at the end
Brave though, a driver behaving as aggressively as that...I never want them behind me...
Of course the cyclist didn’t escalate, he was too busy shitting himself.
Also, 0:31 that is the tiniest bike lane I've ever seen.
@@NoobieToob that is the problem. The location of the first incident should have had a seperate lane for cyclist. In NL we do that a lot at roundabouts, seperate traffic till after the roundabout.
@@HansKeesom NL is in another level entirely when it comes to bicycle infrastructure. You guys have it so good. Keep it up.
"The Driver was not aware of what she was doing". Maybe the first time - after that she showed full awareness of what she was doing. Good Restraint on your part.
"Good restraint? " - what is good about not taking the license plate of the car, what is good about not reporting this to the police.
@@vsstdtbs3705 look, mostly I was talking about not going full road rage on the individual. In today's society I have found restraint can be not being violent in a violent society. Should/could they have done what you suggested? Sure, question there is would the police spend time looking for the individual.
Wow... I can't believe you were so calm!
That was pretty scary mate. Genuinely intent to force you off the road! I would've really struggled to remain calm. Well done you to you.
I think he has missed the point - the driver is trying to get the cyclist to stop. The motorist is not being antagonistic - it's just the cyclist is ignoring her request for him to stop- maybe an incident earlier.
Good road craft would suggest the cyclist should stop - if it so the motorist is being abusive then you ride off.
As a cyclist , car and van driver I see this as different to what the cyclist suggests in this case. It is a woman in a Yaris.
@@winnie6354 You don't use your car to stop a cyclist. At all. You risk the safety of the cyclist and motorists around you. If you have to force a cyclist to stop due to an incident, then talk to them and flag them down. If they refuse to listen, depending on the situation, call the cops.
@@rock2946 I agree entirely- to use a car as a weapon is an offence. Much the same as the cyclist who has failed to stop after an accident.What you can do legally is overtake then stop and get out to talk to the cyclist which is what he does. Failing to stop at an accident is a criminal offence .
With regard to phoning the police- how do you identify the cclist- no registration and he obviously knows he has committed and offence so doesnt want to stop.
Hopefully the introduction of registrations for cyclists ( of which i am one) wil make those that flout the law accountable for their actions as other road users are.
@@winnie6354 do that to me and your windows getting smashed , simple as that
@@getstrongby4038 I presume the cyclist had committed a similar criminal act hence the car wanted them to stop but they were refusing. It is obvious to any road user what the car is trying to do , and that the cyclist is trying to flee something . When cyclists have to be registered this will not be necessary as they will be traceable , and the police can deal with it appropriately - until then your only corse of actions to try and get them to stop , or follow them until they do.
I think it is laughable for this video to be put up as a car endangering s cyclist when it is obvious that the cat wishes the cyclist to stop , but the cyclist is blatantly ignoring the motorist - presumable to escape some act they have committed.
Really hope this footage made it to the cops...
Agreed...

My heart was in my mouth. That was so dangerous and reckless of the driver.
Re examine this - what is the car trying to do ?- that's it get the cyclist to stop, but he won't.Why won't he because he has committed some act that he doesn't want to take responsibility for.
This is one of the things that annoys me about motorists, they are are so eager to get past cyclists that they don't see the upcoming, roundabout, traffic lights, junction, parked vehicles etc. No patience!
no comma after upcoming
This is MGİF syndrome. (Must get in front). Drivers who are offended by the idea of a bike getting down the road quicker than them. So they overtake, completely disregarding another's safety.
Speak for yourself and don’t tar all motorists with the same brush ; just as we better motorists don’t tar all cyclists the same either
@@mantastiirsen7211 so true , in Melbourne Australia the traffic is so bad the bikes are already home before you get 1 block. They drive like dickheads here to.
@@michaelanderson7715 You sure told him!! Damn comma abusers!
Once I might have considered accidental, if thoughtless and poor driving , but when that happened a second time , it looked malicious and deliberate . I’d have reported that to the police .
Give the cops man
I live in The Netherlands. I was shocked to see what is considered a cycle lane. Seriously that thing isn't wide enough for a person with a hoop and stick, let alone a fully ladened touring bike, or a tricycle. The thing is a joke. I feel your anguish.
this seems like a perfectly wide enough road for protected bike infrastructure, you should use this clip to advocate for some on this road
I think the cyclist in the clip should try out "Vehicular Cycling" and take the damn lane rather than leaving room to get sqweezed off like that. Come up to a round about... more out INTO THE LANE so the cars can't get next to you.

Nice that you kept calm. And just ignored his attempts at stopping to start a road rage.your the prime example of how cyclist should react.

I know this was recorded elsewhere (not in the USA) but you sir are WAAAAAAY nicer than I would have been. This is why I tell all my friends always carry some "attitude adjustment" with you on road rides. And the attitude adjustment will be different depending on the person.
Bloody driver should get banned! No concern whatsoever for the cyclist's wellbeing! Makes my blood boil and I'm a driver!
Hey there may I have the permission to use your content on my channel with proper credit and link back to original video from description.
Thanks
I always find it strange how some drivers have no time to overtake at the correct place but have enough time to stop and escalate their feelings as in this case when the driver is totally in the wrong, I hope this footage is picked up by police and the car driver receives their just desserts.
I hope this driver tries this on "cash for crash con artists".
SO much room for segregated Dutch-style bike lanes here. But nope, drivers get to abuse the false sense of owning the road.
Badly want to move to the Netherlands.
The best way to piss off these complete bell ends is to keep on moving as it drives them insane and provides lots of entertainment 🤣😂😭
NOW, I remember why I was always armed with a short rod.
Spare the rod, spoil the driver

No , then you are lowering yourself to their level . Just report them : the points , fine and possible loss of licence will hurt them more
@@derekheeps1244 works only if the police accepts to take your report and works on it.
Where I live, if you're just witnessing someone jumping a red light, you can't report it. I'm not into law en forcément business, so I can not do that. It has, saddly, to be witnessed by policemen.
And also, and it happened to me, I got almost ran over by some cunts who deliberatly swerved toward me, brake-checked me, threatened me, on camera. Police's answer ? "Maaaah... You're OK, no injury.
Your bike is OK. Bye."
@@chuckgates1171 What does that do?
I really hope this was sent in to the police! Not acceptable for a motorist to treat a cyclist in such a dangerous manner.
As a runner on rural roads I've had this a number of times. Frighteningly, it was cars coming towards me. On one occasion the driver had his hand out of the window shaking his fist at me. I discovered why one day when such a driver stopped: they thought it was illegal to run on the road. Obviously that's wrong, but to attempt to injure or kill me as a reaction to that is seriously deranged.
you can guarentee all of these types of people have never ridden a bike on the road like this before. they're so narrow minded its aggrovating
Hi there, is it OK if I use this clip in a video? Fully credited of course. I'd love to hear from you soon! CRW
If she was lost then there are places to pull off and get directions. The driver swerved at him twice. This was an aggressive, stupid driver and anyone manufacturing excuses for her have never ridden a bike in the midst of such morons.
Did you report the awful driver-what was the outcome
nope, this was a long time ago when i wasn't aware that you could report stuff like this.
I love how he just keeps driving like nothing happening at all XD
You did the right thing by not stopping to escalate it. I usually thump their door panel and ride on too.
Carry one of those Emergency tools that Shatters windows.
Gutted you ended the video there, was enjoying the speed at the end
Assault with a deadly weapon that. "Driver was not aware" my left cheek.
Its almost as if bicycles shouldn't be on the same road as cars...
If she was lost fair enough, but no reason to react to her own poor driving, by purposely cutting you up! That is wrong!
kindness ARK No, not fair enough. No excuse.
That's deadly. I'd have stopped and did what needed doing. I'd lose my mind from anger.
And if you don't report this, you are part of why this keeps happening. I've reported easily 2 dozen people for somewhat similar things. And I follow the laws when biking to a T. I record front and back views as well. I've sent so many videos to the Sheriffs and gotten results more times than not. Today it's so easy to just email them the vid. They go find them, then email back when they either arrest or fine them and tell me when I need to be at court. I've been hit twice, the most recent making it so I need a bilateral hip replacement and others small broken bones. And drifted into while in traffic by ppl on their phones not paying attention. But when they try to do me harm or harass if I can't get to them to get ahold of them I report them. You HAVE to do it. Please don't be lazy guys if that happens. I live in a TINY little US state in New England with the largest city with 50k or something(10k where I live at most)and each summer there are dozens of hit and runs on bicyclists and pedestrians on the side of the road in the state. Imagine it's so much worse in populated areas.
Shit has to stop. When I'm driving going around a bike is nothing. It's like going around a car but easier. Do you sperg when you have to go around every car? No. So grow the f up dummies with anger issues. Or leave earlier with plenty of time to your destination like adults.
Hey man would it be cool with you if I put this in one of our compilations? I'll be sure to credit and link your video in the description. Thanks :)
Pretty sure they're trying to purposefully hurt you. I would turn this into the police and report them.
I am very curious as to what they wanted from you when they tried to stop you twice. Like what they wanted to tell you
I laughed, what did they expect to happen? that the cyclist all of a sudden gives the driver the attention they desperately crave after the cyclist simply rides past the car the first time already? makes me even more chuckle as I write this
I counted three attempts. That was a mentally imbalance motorist.
You respond just like me, take it in stride and cycle on. my reactions and anticipations prevent 99.9% of potential mishaps I once had a mid 30's lady driver pass me very slowly on a country road with over a meter of clearance. She pulls over way ahead on the side of the road and was a shaken up and ocd-like, thinking she hit me. I said no, you didn't hit me, you're fine. I told her to take a deep breath, you're fine and good. That's the other extreme. You have the drivers who come to close or cut you off, and you get the ones who are afraid to pass and give you lots of clearance. Lot's wave them pass, that there is room to pass or flash them the thumb's up sign.
A typical occurrence for a lot of cyclists, so many people go insane when behind the wheel of a vehicle. Drivers seem to be delusional and believe there are no consequences for their actions.
That looks like road rage from this driver. The amount of time she kept cutting you up like that! thats very dangerous. Well she better watch who she tries to rage with next. I got a lovely set of Engineering work boots for university, which are steel toe capped, so I am happy to put a few dents in car door if necessary. Lol'z
This happens all the time on Australian roads. Young, hot-headed (insecure) lads in their utes swerving right over. Or reving their engine if they have to *give way* to you at an intersection. Pretty weird stuff. People bang on about cyclists saying why aren't we licensed (I have my driver's license), or why don't we have to pay registration on our bicycles (they do zero damage to roads) - but they themselves are free to ride a bicycle too, if they wish. Flawed logic abounds.
No way does it look like road rage - the subsequent stops were wide and controlled - doesn't look like the uncontrolled fury you do see (and experience) - it looks to me like the (bad) driver was looking at road signs and was trying to apologise - I may be wrong!
In other words, these videos are counter-productive if they simply take up stances - the problem is hugely disparate vehicles sharing the same roads - we need Netherlands-style systems to make everyone happy and travel/communities fun again. 95% children cycle to school in the Netherlands...fantastic!
@@sroberts605 I'd say ur wrong but I wasn't there
@@MattExzy Bikes should be registered , and have to display ID , because of the admittedly small proportion of bad cyclists who misbehave , cause incidents and then just disappear without trace . It isn’t about damage done ; it is about funding all the extra infrastructure required to make roads safer for cycling . Largely paid for by general taxation , but extra funding never goes amiss .
Wow. The driver should lose their license. (a) for nearly running you off the road, and (b) for having no idea how to stop you and give you a piece of their mind...
When I commuted by bike I got so scared when cars did this (I was thrown off the bike several times previously) I used to see red instantly and smash the car body panels up. I ended up in a few fights and many shouting matches! Got so bad I started to carry one of those pen shaped emergency glass breakers and just put the back window and\or windscreen through and not even stop!! I don't ride on the streets anymore!!
Why is that wing mirror still on the car???
I am wondering if the driver was pulling over to talk to you. Perhaps to ask about your bike. At the beginning he almost hit you twice but then he was pulling ahead and stopping.
Good job on your part allowing her to keep her mirror!!
What country is this?
The UK of course
I hope you sent this to the police.
Looks like a video the police should be looking at.
Driver should be banned for life
did you report to police?
Would've taken everything in me not to try to slash her tire with my knife, you're a stronger man than I
Perhaps the car wanted to resolved the situation? It looked like it did.
Personally, I really do not mind giving way to cyclists
Do they at least get points on their license for this?
Also, that gutter apparently passes for a bike lane.
Whoa I hope that you submitted the video to the Met's traffic violation website. That driver is dangerous.
I'm just glad you're okay. Keep your eyes open!
To majstore! Tako se vozi
*FOUR* silver Toyota Aygos???
Guess we know which car _you're_ not getting anytime soon!
If there in such a hurry, why stop 3 times.
They would be minus a wing mirror and a couple of front teeth if they did that to me..
I would have the hell out of those wing mirrors.
You started it! NO you started it!
What exactly did that driver achieve? Apart from showing he's a knob head
Oh Bexley
That's shocking.
You dropped your wallet, she was trying to return it
Obviously that driver has given up on life, they're driving an aygo
The first might not be deliberate but the second was 100% intentional. What did the police say?
What the hell was that for ?
Brainless car driver. Those situations were dangerous what could cause serious injury :/.
Good call not stopping, I wouldn't either. Safe to call the police at your destination
One way to avoid escalation and repeat is to have pepper spray... The fresh air intake will make them stop in their tracks...
The biggest mistake the cyclist made was not stopping the second they saw the idiot's intent. Hit the brakes, pull off the road, and watch.
What did the bike do to the car
Exist. Drivers like this just feed off people's negativity and go around trying to have fights
I hope you reported that.
I hope you reported this nutter to the police .
I think those type of cycle lanes are balderdash and don't benefit the cyclist. You are meant to take a primary position for the sake of visibility and avoid drains and things, but these type of cycle lanes force you into the gutter.
I hope that was reported to the police and the driver charged and lost their licence. The cyclist could’ve been killed. That is dangerous driving.
this is why I never ride without a gun
He should have been Prosecuted for Dangerous Driving
TURN THE VIDEO OVER TO THE POLICE
Instead of having the cycling lane in the road where it's easier for him to get knocked over, put the cycling lane on the pavement...
Ffs what a bad car driver how did she miss 3 times ? Not good enough
To be fair some driving students check the traffic to their right and cannot control the path of their cars. I have had them going up kerbs and the like...
I k is this is an old video but I can still feel his frustration from here forced to drive a glorified go kart and struggling to keep up with a bike. You can't really blame him for taking a swipe at you. 😂
I’d have kicked the shit outta that car, I’m not a cyclist but I respect their rights on the road, always give them room when I pass, in which I change the full lane if I can but leave 2 meters if I can’t! You cyclists shouldn’t have to put up with that shit!
Why you run away?
cycle lanes r there 4 a reason it makes going round them tricky
I’m glad it wasn’t me!
Without reading your test, it could be taken as two attempts to apologise for her lack of concentration and very poor observation skills.

Those are attempts of assult with a deadly weapon in addition of reckless driving.
