- Bad UK Driving Vol 87 Stupid Cyclist & Pedestrian Compilation.
This is a compilation of stupid cyclists and pedestrians in London and surrounding areas basically doing exactly what they want whenever they want
As a fellow cyclist I feel embarassed to see such bad behavior by cyclists...we all get a bad rep because of them
Nice try, troll.
You said you are embarrassed by "such bad behaviour by cyclists" yet went on to complain that you "all get a bad rep".
What is really telling about you (and many cyclists) is that you did not express any surprise at "such bad behaviour by cyclists" yet continue to complain when innocent road/footpath/zebra crossing users, understandably, give cyclists a well deserved "bad rep".
Bad cyclists have always been treated mearly as errant pedestrians.
With the increased number of cyclists (I am one), along with their increasingly "bad behaviour", perhaps it is now time to treat all operators of 2 wheeled vehicles (human/electric/motor driven) the same as any other road user.
It will then be safer for pedestrians, other road users and cyclists.
It's mainly when they ride in packs like these baffoons that they become self important. You see one bloke being a wanker its not so bad innit?
@@georgehughes5703 conveniently left out the see from your quote there. Kills the point otherwise really doesn't it
@wotzcheez
Are you being critical for the sake of criticism or attempting to support dangerous cycling?
Other than that, your comment/question makes no sense.
The commentator said "embarassed to see" thus meaning regular/by many.
If the commentator had said "embarrassed to have seen" it would have meant infrequent/by few.
So no, by trying to be as brief possible ie not adding the word 'see', my point is most certainly not killed.
Thank you for your help in emphasising my point.
It's criminal that young kids in buggies are pushed out in the the road before the person looking after them is.
It’s murder
It still happens now, I remember it happening in the 90s - fat sl*gs would just walk to the edge of the main roads and push the pram out. Nothing changes on some estates as it seems to be bred in to them, so generation after generation of benefit scrounger keeps on doing it. When there is a death or injury they blame everyone else, it is never their fault according to the new Highway Code. The new rules seem to cater for thick stupid people that take seriously dangerous risks and transfer their liability to others. If only someone would take a test case to court and prove it is not a third party responsibility.
I almost ran over a kid once who broke away from his mother on a reservation and stepped into the road. The mother had a smaller child in a pushchair, so had no control over the other child. At one time, people used a walking rein for sub 5 year Old's!!
How else are you supposed to PUSH them over the road ?
"My kids are my world" actually means "My kids stop traffic for me while I focus on social media"
I'm a cyclist and I stop at every red light, I wouldn't dream of going through one on red. I also stick to the cycle lanes, the cyclists you have depicted are an embarrassment, sooner or later their luck will run out and they will pay the ultimate price.
After thirteen years of Tory / orange misrule , 100 billion a year poorer due to the brexit, cost of living crisis, it’s hard for me , personally, to discern wot the ultimate price is , sharing the world with favour currying right wing appeasatory arse lickers is pretty hefty right enuff
I’m a cyclist and I stop at like 90% of lights, I have lights on my daily commute I just don’t stop at, it’s completely pointless, plus yeah sometimes I’ll shoot through on certain lights on my daily commute when I know it’s safe, it is what it is 🤷♂️
@@Jesterpec666 shockingly I don’t care about your rep
Yeah I followed all the rules until I got hit while having a specific crossing indicator.
Don't expect drivers to follow the rules keep yourself safe most of all sometimes that means not stopping to stay as a unified group or taking the whole lane to prevent unsafe passes
(Like the guy in the green shirt was doing playing bouncer for his group)
This guy must be a real joy to live with. Imagine asking him how his day went.
No one ever asks me that anymore 😜
The reason seems obvious 🤣🤣
Self+cager entitlement at the peak.
You may or can get mad people breaking law. But pointing and shouting at EVERYTHING, even the harmless 5:12 you are still complaining bout it.
Then there i bet you must have been complaining since birth, like why these nurses putting me in such small incubator, it restricted my freedom a lot.
@@winters4960 says the man complaining about me !!!
I just knew if I came to the comments you’d be getting allot of hate.. keep it up mate
Watching those cyclists was painful haha. If they would take their safety, and highway code seriously then maybe I would have more respect for them. I know not all cyclists are like this though.
I have no respect for drivers in the UK. Ignore speed limits, approach junctions/roundabouts etc too fast, park on pavements, the list is literally endless.
Cyclists must be made to have proper license and insurance as well as a means of tracing them such as wearing a clearly visible bib with reg number. Also police must prosecute bad cycling
@@josephmcmahon7470 a typical lycralout! Of course you are a perfect rider as well...lol
@@josephmcmahon7470 One way streets, no entry, cycling on pavements, cycling on the wrong side of the road, running red lights, running across zebra crossings, no lights at night, no hand signals when turning, no shoulder checks when over taking parked cars, on their phones while riding, riding with no hands...
The cyclist list is endless... Drivers are traceable via CCTV.. Cyclist get away with everything.
@@sahhull This justifies acting as if Drivers are the Angels of the road and never do anything wrong whereas Cyclists are an evil that must be rid of? (Which is pretty much the opinion of most entitled motorists)
If I saw one of those lycra clad menaces cycling disrespectfully and they fell off I wouldn't even stop.They are chronic and a danger to themselves and others.They ride in ways that always suits them so they don't have to stop or slow down regardless of what is going on around them.It always seems to be the motorist that gets blamed.
I would probably stop, smile and carry on driving 🤣
@@richardgiles2484 and you wouldn’t be alone😉 I’d do the same if they’re driving or riding with no respect for other road users and have an accident then I also have no time for them I’d pull up laugh and tell them they got what they deserved and wouldn’t help, but if they’re driving respectably obeying the law and have a genuine bad luck accident then I’m the first out helping….
That's great pal, I read about a car running over a kid and killng them, but them cyclists eh? The real menace.
@@Sam-mq9cj I agree with that sentiment having known of a woman and her two children getting killed locally when I was a kid while they were cycling, ploughed down by a speeding driver who did not see them in time on a section of road known for drivers speeding! However, sticksman78 is justified when it comes to cyclists who blatantly flout the laws. Cyclists are just as bound by the highway code as any driver. I will defend cyclists who are not doing anything wrong, I used to be one both here in the UK and in a Canadian city for a number of years. I always followed the road laws, stopping at red lights and giving clear signals of my intentions to turn, etc. The bad cyclists out there give us good ones a bad name to such a degree that drivers think they are entitled to have a go at any cyclist for the slightest of reasons!
One example of this was I was being driven home by my brother sometime in 2020 and a cyclist was minding their own business doing nothing wrong when my brother's young son piped up "bloody cyclists" from the back seat and my brother just chuckled at him. I complained that was uncalled for and my brother should not be teaching his kids to be so rude to people. He then had the gall to claim the cyclist should not be on the road because "they do not pay road tax", a common argument that comes from many drivers including, I bet, the creator of this video! So I said "Then you should not be on the road because you are not paying road tax either!" where a short argument ensued about the road tax that was abolished in 1937, 50 years before he was born! The next week during our visit to our mother's he was clearly still fuming about the argument and pulled out his tax forms regarding his car and point to the Vehicle Excise Duty and said "there, I do pay road tax!" I just laughed and said, that's a tax based on the car not the road, it's not the same thing! The road tax was a tax to hold users of the roads responsible for the upkeep of the roads. It was shifted to local councils being responsible as well as the government for roads not covered by local councils. The former being covered today by council taxes and the latter by general taxes, both of which all adults are required to pay! So, adult cyclists are contributing to the upkeep of the roads just as much as drivers and are equally entitled to the use of the roads. That ended the argument right there! lol
@@Sam-mq9cj Yes, the cyclists are the real menace, for one simple reason: Unlike car drivers, they know they can get away with it, as there's very little chance of tracking them as they don't have licence plates (hopefully that will change soon). As a result, the vast majority ride at idiotic speeds on the pavements and zoom through red lights at pedestrian crossings. That can seriously injure or kill. As has happened. I have seen drivers sat at empty crossings with red lights, empty crossroads with red lights, and other pointless red lights. Why? Because they know there may be a camera and they could be tracked and punished for going through it. Cyclists have the privilege of not being concerned about that.
Is everything alright at home, mate? I think you need a hug…
😂😂 fine thanks
Person who cycles here: For most of the clips, I agree with you. Red light jumpers (especially in London) is very dangerous for a road user (Inc cyclist) to do.
However in regards to cycle paths, especially painted cycle paths, may not always be safe to use for cyclists.
For example in one of the clips, the cycle path is tiny. Cyclists should leave an arms width away from the edge of the road. By leaving an arms width gap, it also encourges drivers to overtake cyclists properly, instead of trying to squeeze through.
I haven't a problem with normal cyclists. However I do have a problem with a lot of the so called professional/club riders who are the biggest danger to others. I have Zero sympathy for them when they come off or get hurt as they have probably been asking for it. If motorcycles ride in the same way they would get a fine, points and possibly a ban.
But as cyclists can't be identified unless they are flat on the floor the police won't do anything about the problem.
Club riders where I live mostly ride carefully on busy roads and in single file. They sometimes ride beside each other on quieter roads, which isn't a problem unless you're driving too quickly and aggressively.
@@benhartley2486 carry on dreaming as this is NOT what most people see. The club / professional riders are the most aregant of all and seem to think the world revolves around them who never do anything wrong on the roads. This is why a lot of people have zero sympathy for them
@Advanced Driving well you must be one of the few lucky people to see the so called professional cyclists abiding by the highway code 🤔
@@richardgiles2484 I think you're overgeneralising.
@@benhartley2486 I travel around a fair bit so maybe I'm just unfortunate to see poor cycling in so meny places 🤔
It definitely won't improve until cyclists can be identified and prosecuted the same as other road users
My local council ( Swansea ) spent around £200,000 widening the pavement ( both sides ) and making the road narrower ( sod the poor motorists ) near me so the lovely cyclists can have their own special areas ( coloured Blue! ) up one side and down the other. Bloody cyclist was pedalling up the ROAD this morning. Go figure!!!!
Cyclists can ride on cycle lanes or the main carriageway. It is there choice. To be effective a cycle lane needs to be more convenient than the main carriageway but so often councils make them less convenient, longer, not continuous, bumps up and down, no priority over side roads so constantly having to stop and lose momentum. Then they don't maintain them and they get overgrown or they put street furniture in them. If I were a cyclist, I would stick to the main carriageway.
Shock!!!!!! How dare a cyclist use the road as they are legally entitled to?
Same in Bournemouth, so emergency vehicles have to use the path in an emergency. I’ve driven the road many times and only ever seen one on it.
If it's anything like bristol the cycle lanes are filled with glass, little stones, slippery metal manhole covers, drains - basically nothing you want to cycle on and therefore cyclists don't use them. They also start and end in ridiculous places
@@johnnichol9412 In the contrary we need dedicated cycle lanes that are actually fit for purpose, like the have in NL
If you hit a cyclist who totally ignoring road signs,red lights and one way systems then they only have their idiotic cycling to blame.
The muppets on electric scooters are even worse now
Regarding signalling, the Highway Code lists it as a “you should” rather than a “you must”. While I signal wherever practical, and most good cyclists would, sometimes I don’t as it means taking a hand off one brake (I’d rather keep my hand near my rear (left) brake handle if I can) and also reduces control of the bike as you now only have one hand on the handle bars. I would signal where communication to drivers matters. For example, I intend to turn right off a main road, I want to position right in the lane and stop to wait for an appropriate gap, I do not want people trying to overtake as I do this so I signal right early and clearly and move far enough for traffic to pass on the left once I’m stopped. If I was turning left, a signal doesn’t always communicate anything of use, depending on surrounding traffic, so I might choose to keep hands on the bars. At a roundabout near me, I rarely signal to leave it. Road positioning is enough to get an idea where I’m going and a roundabout is somewhere I really want both brakes quickly usable.
Cycling folks love to defy gravity and enjoy stories of near death experiences. Being the proud owner of a stolen bike means you need to show your street cred and suicidal city slicker syndrome.
In that first clip there's about 8 cyclist taking up less space than teo car, but they get moaned at for using up the road?! Makes no sense. Apparently if you're in a speeding metal box you're more important than other humans
Facts
I watched a minute of this pro-psychotic video, then stopped, came down here to the comments. I drive a truck and I ride a bicycle. A short time ago I was in the Dept. of Motor Vehicles getting my tags, and I overheard a group of other patrons in there going on and on about how bicyclists are into self-offing (ending their own lives). This kind of talk leads to not feeling any guilt if one of their motor vehicles were to come into contact with a bicyclist, and the bicyclist were hurt, even fatally hurt. "He just did it to himself," they are preparing themselves to say.
I'm telling you, these people are working themselves up into a frenzy, staging "accidents," and sometimes they're even blatantly trying to unalive other people just because we're on two wheels and don't have a motor with us.
At 6:09, this is precisely what the Highway Code was amended to prevent...
Dont paint all cyclist with the same brush. Those are the enemy of the good cyclist. These guy are audi drivers
😂😂 brilliant comparison
Try walking, then you’ll realise you can cross a road without Mr Green Man
Yes I know, and I do cross without a green Man but I don't do it with cars coming towards me
The fact the you get so stressed while driving home is why I think I enjoy biking so much. Now when I drive, I see how aggravated I get with everyone else on the road and don't get nearly that same level on a bike. I love cars and love driving but I'm not sure it's worth it anymore.
People who just come out without looking really annoy me. I'm in cornwall so our roads aren't exactly wide anyway. But I was driving home one day at 60mph and a runner just popped out of a side road without checking first. There were oncoming cars so I had nowhere to go and with the time I had to brake I must have still been doing about 50 as I went past her. She is so lucky to be alive and I doubt she even knows it.
If you haven’t got one already get yourself a dashcam you have got an eyewitness every time you get in the car.
@@thelondondashcam Oh trust me. I got one the same week that happened and had it running ever since. Wouldn't go anywhere without it
So you were going so fast you would have killed a child? Slow down if you are that close, Cupcake. In court you would be that guilty. The other person would be dead, while 25% at risk. Your nightmares mean no sleep for life. Every time you close your eyes, you are on a voyage to nightmare-land.
@@martinkent333 Oh shut up
As a cyclist myself I agree with you on the following points:
It is not acceptable to ride on the wrong way, be that a car lane, bike lane. All wrong.
It is not acceptable to ride on payment at any point. If bike lane is on the pavement i refuse to ride it as well, but that is my choice.
You should never take more space as a cyclist than you should never block the 2nd lane as those 6 cyclists were. That is just stupid.
I do not agree with stopping at every light if you can pass it in safe conditions without putting anyone at risk, however you should be 100% liable in case you enddager / hurt somebody.
Other than the red light jumping these cyclists are not breaking the law
Cyclists have always been permitted to ride anywhere between the path and the middle of the road (white lines).
Cyclists are permitted to use the other side of the road in slow moving traffic.
Cyclists are permitted to use the road even if a cycle lane is available (most cycle lanes are not fit for purpose here in the UK)
in this video the cyclist was overtaking another cyclist .
Drivers jump red lights, drivers park on double yellows, drivers park on footpaths, drivers drive up one way roads the wrong way, non disabled drivers park in disabled parking bays, drivers break the speed limits everywhere everyday, drivers make dangerous overtaking manouvres and tailgate other vehicles, some drivers drive without a licence , tax or an MOT.. The list goes on !!!
This is what cyclists and pedestrians do best these days ! They already own the pavements now they own the road as well, happy days!!!
After my experience today with the spandex mafia playing victim after causing several near misses, I enjoy watching these videos now.
After watching a video containing a whining common oik get upset that 4 cyclsist had legally overtaken him I gave up. This video proves one thing definitively. That a Tw#t is a Tw#t and the form of transport has no relation to their self entitlement
Time stamp please
These are exactly why I 100% agree that cyclists should have licence plates. Yes, drivers break the law too - but the difference is, you can catch them. You can report the plate to the cops. Whereas even with dashcam, there's very little way of tracking cyclists.
The issue with that is the negligible risk a cyclist poses to anyone else, its unrealistic to treat an 8kg aluminium frame going 15mph like a 2-ton metal box capable of 100+ mph
Its a great idea to have registration plates on bikes but here in the UKthe DVLA do not consider its practical or cost effective for what is essentially a leisure activity, bicycles statistically nationwide in the UK do not cause enough serious damage to the roads or to other road users or pedestrians cars do Insurance is not required because in most cases cyclist come off worse in an accident and its not cost effective for insurance companies. Most cycling collisions can be dealt with in a small claims court.
@@UFA-jc8gu most importantly licence plate are not aerodynamic
Riding stolen bikes makes the rider immune to misdemeanors, Cupcake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Perhaps those pedestrians should have number plates. Shouldn't we be encouraging people to get out on their bicycles especially in cities? Cleaner air, healthier happier people = less pressure on the NHS, great for the environment. So they jumped the odd red light I'm sure they checked it was safe to do so plus I'm sure they're aware if the make a mistake they will come off worse. We pay for enough in this poxy country and the government are finding more and more ways to track and keep their eyes on us, we must hold on to what freedoms we have left.
Many car drivers hate every road user on 2 wheels and in the worst scenario they vent their frustration on the very first one after 100 offenders they had to deal with.
A compilation of these cyclists and their misbehaviour needs to be put together and sent to Jeremy Vine (the motor car hater!)
Bros just a lazy car driver who’s mad that he doesn’t get the same privileges that people who get around exercising have
I think your predictive text has got that wrong. Let me help you out and rephase it for you….
Law biding Car driver that is mad he doesn’t get the same privileges as unlawful cyclist.
When I've had the green man at a crossing and I've had a cyclist come through the red, I'm sorely tempted to be " taken by surprise " and accidentally nudge the Lycra clad arsehole so he falls off. Knowing my luck I'd come of worse and in court !!!🚴🚴♀️🚴♂️🚲
More people should do it, it's the only way the arseholes will learn.
Anybody can lose their footing ,and" stumble". We're all human........😉
I love the one about the woman with her cycling helmet strapped to her handlebars. I worked for the Scottish Ambulance service, frontline, in the northwest of Scotland, quite a remote area. We were called to an incident whereupon a cyclist was found unconscious in the middle of the road near his bike. It looked like a hit and run, his ear was hanging off and we had a police escort to the nearest hospital. All turned out well in the end, he had spent some considerable time in Hospital but recovered well. It turned out that ,as he was cycling downhill ,he hit a stone with his front wheel and went over the handlebars. The best part was.....his cycling helmet was strapped to the back of his saddle. I must admit that when I see people cycling, without a helmet, I smile to myself. I also smile when I see young people riding motor scooters/bikes in shorts, Teeshirts and flip-flops, but that's another story. By the way, I love your channel, you make me laugh.
as a cyclist I am sorry these do not speak for the rest of us
Ring held captive by this old codger, in his car, while he rants and moans at ordinary everyday dumb-shittery, is pure nightmare material.
I may be an old codger but at least I know how to press the back button on the remote control so I don't have to watch something I don't like. If you want I could do a video on how to press the back button.
Those clips really made my blood boil, especially the first. These sort of things are the norm here in Dublin as well!
I know. I have often seen such consorts there. They expect everyone else to be considerate of them, but are not considerate of others themselves. Greetings from Germany (where we got this plague as well).
Terrible to see, they paint a bad picture for the safe cyclists, 88% of cyclists in the UK 🇬🇧 are also drivers. unfortunately I'm pretty sure these very same cyclists have the same attitudes in their cars they probably also amber gamble, jump red lights, occasionally park on red routes, double yellows and the footpaths, park in disabled bays, break the speed limits every day and when they are pedestrians cross the road on red pedestrian lights.
That’s why cyclists need display registration plate, this is to address the accountability issue.
In traffic, law-abiding, ethical, conscientious people are a rare thing. Civic duty is long buried and civic negligence is ultrafashionable. Posting traffic sign compliance rates online and in the local media - might work. When the public gets a report card of the local risk of serious traffic injuries and fatalities, it might listen. Kids love to behave like dare devils and school grads will soon know someone who is a traffic fatality, or three. Gambling with death is fun for the lawless. Kids need street cred to get underage booze etc for their girlfriends too. Establishing criminal harmony takes - looking "bad." Later they continue to ignore traffic laws to show their independence from gravity. It's simply adorable, but surgeons would rather play golf than do unnecessary surgeries on traffic victims. What do you think? Please let me know, I am waiting!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I find UK traffic safety is different from the North American west coast. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@Ul.B The public is lawless, unethical and without a conscience. So traffic laws are a big joke. The suicidal city slicker syndrome and the freewheeling family phenomenon are the same animal. Post traffic sign compliance rates and give them a report card. When everyone is breaking the law, we need to make sure they are red faced and keen to behave!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Without posting this zero percent poop festival, the ooze continues. Kids need help for this meltdown. On the North American west coast we are starting Autonomous Traffic Safety.
I'm 59, I've been watching this human behaviour all my life, it does seem to be worse now, I really believe it's some kind of madness, we lived in Poland 5 years, it's worse there, on top of that they drive dangerously as well, I get several clips a day driving the van, but you do a good job so there's no point in me doing it, keep showing them mate, we have a lot of cyclists were we live , they are arseholes
Lawless people love to bare their testicles and avoid ethics on the roads. 4 wheel weasels and two wheel weasels. Pedestrian terror and death. Defying gravity is fun!!!!!!!!!!!!! Riding stolen bikes makes the rider immune to misdemeanors. If the public had a conscience, the traffic laws would work. Duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh................................
Cyclists should be made to take a driving test just like every other road user
Par for the course. I put up a video and the black belt barrister picked up on it. 101 offences in 300 seconds, 99 by cyclists.
On the push chairs that's a carriage, a good lawyer would get them done for that.
The big one is the illegal motor bikes.
Done for what exactly?
I saw that yesterday, thousands of pounds in potential fines and hundreds of potential points at a single junction in about 5 minutes. The majority of the fines were for cyclists jumping lights and riding on the pavement(usually like a twat)
@@manu-tonyo9654 Correct. I'm just putting another one together, with some music.
Should give you a laugh.
It wouldn't be points though would it? There is no licence needed for a bicycle. Also, those fines are lower for cyclists. He quoted fines made for motorists.
My "it boils my blood" is pedestrian crossings that give the pedestrians enough time (ie, MY time!) to cross the road at LEAST twice.
So fckinh annoying.
“How can u have your pudding if you don’t eat your meat “
Remind us what those zig-zag lines mean. No PEDESTRIANS. No parking. No loading/unloading. No setting down passengers. No overtaking.
I don't need to, you have done that for me
Cyclists' finally got their wish (new rules) but why-oh-why can't they follow any ?!
Red lights are for 'ALL' road-users, not just four wheeled vehicles....just because you ride a cycle doesn't give you the right to disobey them..
The problem is everyone on a bike gets tarred with the same brush . Everyone on a bike is an individual . It's not my fault riding a bike that someone jumps a red light in a place I've never been to before.
I love cyclists, they're great for the NHS. Think of them as organ donors on wheels.
Don't discriminate against the E scooterists too, they deserve a special thank you. 2 hardly used eye corneas, various other organs available, one careless owner.......
Cyclists always think their safety is someone else’s responsibility.
They go into the middle because the majority of car drivers just turn left without indicating and it means death for them
American here. What do the zig-zag lane markings mean?
These are commonly found at crossings and detailed in the highway code, rule 191.
Put simply, not to park or overtake in this area.
At 0:06, you really SHOULD have stopped for the traffic light. Odds are one of those cyclists would be bound to run up your backside, put himself out of action for the day, put his bike out of action for a bit longer, and cause his mates not to endanger members of the public with their rule-breaking, because they'd be engaged in trying to justify their mate's actions - which would be impossible, because you were clearly stopping as required at a pedestrian crossing!
I think the cyclists were too far back to have been affected by any sudden stopping. Also, legally, amber does mean stop - unless you're so close to the line that it would be unsafe to stop. From the video, looked like a judgement call.
@@rogueuniversities6866 That would be assuming ALL cyclists were paying proper attention; experience suggests otherwise! Your point is well made, though.
I do wonder why it’s only the 30 to 50 yr old Lycra males that disregard all the rules of the road? Women cyclists and school kids seem to adhere perfectly to the rules?
Mistakes you are making with this video:
1) Cyclists have the right to the whole width of the lane just as any other vehicle on the road. Generally they ride on the left of the lane for personal safety and to allow larger vehicles room to overtake but that is not a legal requirement.
2) Cyclists are not required to use cycle lanes. They are there to aid cyclists to make their journeys safer but they are not legally bound to use them.
3) Pedestrians are not legally required to cross at crossings no matter how close they are to the crossings! Sure it's dumb not to use the crossing but it's not a legal requirement. It is your legal responsibility to look out for pedestrians no matter where along the road you are and doubly so when you are close to a crossing, especially zebra crossings.
4) In the clip where you start of saying there is something wrong with the guy crossing at the junction lights, what has he done wrong? NOTHING! In fact, existing road laws prior to the recent changes allowed pedestrians to do exactly this and made it the responsibility of drivers to look out for pedestrians crossing. Now the law is even more in favour of the pedestrian where you basically now have to treat EVERY junction as if it's a zebra crossing, if there is a pedestrian waiting to cross, you have to stop to allow them to cross!
5) The woman cross on the 'red man' did so legally. Just as pedestrians do not have to cross at crossings they also can use a request crossing of that sort and cross when they feel safe to do so even if the 'red man' is showing. They are guides for pedestrians, not traffic lights like for vehicles! "You put your hand up to say stop? YOU stop!" No, the vehicles have to stop! IT'S THE LAW! lol
6) The couple walking to their car in the car park area were inconsiderate but otherwise within their rights. A car park is not a public road and so the rules there differ depending on the owners of the car parks but in general pedestrians have right of way.
I won't even go on through the second half of the video as I am sure the above 6 are plenty enough to show you need to re-read your highway code THOUROUGHLY, especially now there have been major changes! Your attitude displayed in just the first half of the video shows the wrongful attitude the majority of drivers have which is a major concern for the safety of cyclists and pedestrians.
Do not think I am protecting people who are in the wrong. Cyclists who run lights are clearly in the wrong and need their heads examined. As road users they are as much bound by the highway code as drivers of motorized vehicles are.
Also, pedestrians crossing the road without the aid of a pedestrian crossing, including ignoring the status of the crossings (E.G. 'red man' showing), do have a reasonable responsibility to their own safety that can put them at fault if they disregard it and get hurt, like stepping out between parked vehicles without checking for fast moving traffic, but in general the main responsibility is with the drivers of vehicles.
What about cyclists who skip for red lights? Should get their bikes seized and crushed
That is the longest message I think I've ever had I hope to get the time to read it.
It is bad to see cyclists using the road like this, they are just as bad as most motorists
The problem is that the powers that be have given them the road and you as a driver are expected to drive around their stupidity
I'd hate to be this angry at nothing day in day out xD
Maybe read your message before pressing the send button, just in case it doesn’t make sense.
@@thelondondashcam There you go, Sweetie
The driver creating this video may not die in a car crash, but he is always so wound up, he'll soon get a heart attack. He needs to chill or pack up driving.
You're not the first to say that funnily enough.
I think if their is a cycle lane and the cyclist cycles outside its lines then they should be fined
I think that you shouldn't think.
Cyclists want all these rules implied on drivers and drivers get fined and points if they don’t yet they can’t follow the simplest of high way code rules and don’t ever get penalised for it like stop at a red light……. So frustrating
The funny thing is these cyclists also drive cars. 88% of cyclists in the UK 2020 are car drivers and hold a driving licence so have passed a driving test. Their attitudes as drivers and pedestrians must be no different. It's people's attitudes that need to change there is no point blaming any one group of road users. Cyclist do get fined it's just that your never around to see it as there are less cyclists than motorists
Wawawa. A cyclist with bike weighs 90 kilos most. So, if it's safe, it's better for them to move on. Also, cars justs take so much more space. If they want the space the wanker drivers need to pay up. Let's call it road rent. I'd say 2000 pounds a month. Parking, infrastructure and so on. A cyclist needs limited infrastructure and what it needs is because of cars.
Cyclists are immune to gravity. Let them enjoy the pain and also - the incredible stories of near death experiences. Many ride stolen bikes and have zero respect for traffic laws. Yawn........................
@@bikertime1 Naw, 4 wheel weasels and 2 wheel weasels need ethics. It's not rocket science......................
Didn't you know?, the moment they squeeze themselves into that Lycra & meet up with their mates it gives them special permission to use the roads as their very own personal race track?, Well they must think that as that's what I see every bloody Sunday! .
Alot more drivers use the roads as a racetrack.. 70mph plus down the motorways everyday, 50mph in 30mph zones !! And these people are driving 1 ton plus vehicles capable of speeds of upto 200mph. Cyclists are riding a 7 -15kg vehicle capable of generally 15mph -30 mph.
Its peoples attitudes that need to change there is no point blaming them as cyclists alone. The fact is that most cyclists also hold driving licences (88% in the UK) This 88% of cyclists you mention and rising have the same disregard for other road users when driving their cars too. They are probably the same people who have passed a driving test and have read the Highway code or who have never passed a driving test, dont tax or insure their cars but who still .. park on double yellows, park on red routes, park in disabled parking bays when not disabled, run red lights or amber gamble, exceed the motorways and road speed limits daily, etc..., they probably also dont cross on crossings or cross roads on the red man at the traffic lights.. where does it end !!
Many are executives showing their total lack of ethics. Riding stolen bikes makes misdemeanors petty. Yawn..................
We live in a zero shits given society these days. Meaning, life is short and if I piss someone off, so what? What happens? You’re offended, you’re upset? Nothing happens. It’s all forgotten when we die anyway.
Its irrelevant what kind of vehicle someone is using, an idiot will be an idiot no matter what they are using.
Cyclists should pay tax and have number plates so that fines can be issued for traffic incidents like running red lights. Some of them are pure idiots who think they own the roads. Same goes for electric scooter riders. Some of them are thick as well. Just the other day i had one knob weaving all over the place coming towards me way too fast and nearly hit me. People just need to use their eyes and look where they are going. Either that or natural selection should run its course with them 😤
They should be licensed like us drivers do and have number plates!!! . Issued penalty points and treated as any other driver on the roads.
Not cost effective
Using a phone in your hand while riding a pushbike is another that should be looked at.
If they can run red lights then I can fail to see them on the road.
They don’t stay in single file when they are meant too and they don’t stop at red lights etc yet when they are involved in an accident it’s the car driver who gets in trouble. Treat the road and it’s users with respect you fools!!!
A quite sizeable proportion of bike riders ruining it for those of us who ride to the latter of the law
Riding stolen bike makes them immune to gravity........................ Duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..............................
Unfortunately it seems to be the norm nowadays,everybody thinks they are more important and they can’t wait and use an actual crossing.As for cyclists they obviously think everyone will move for them when they ignore red lights until one day they meet a car who also doesn’t check and drives straight throw them.
People crossing with a buggy when the green man isn't lit makes my blood boil. Stop endangering kids.
Not relevant to above situation but,
'I don't care whether you've got priority, you've still got to look'.👌👌
Yh, when I see a cyclist I play the 101 points game. 50 for getting a bad reaction from them for being too close when I pass, 50 points for making them fall off by pretending to open my door when they’re about to pass and the last point is if I get them to say the N word. Never got 101 though.
Oh but those 'cyclists' - they are in love you know...
At 8:30, skip lorry = bottom of hierarchy; cyclist near top. Ergo, skip lorry driver must jump through hoops not to endanger cyclist, yet cyclist can put himself in whatever peril he considers necessary to advantage himself. Hierarchy in action; shit upon anybody beneath you...10:37, same again.
as the only mode of transport that kills over one million people every year, everyone else on the road is the jerk and must follow the rules designated for cars.
This guys just going out in his car moaning at random people ahahaha what a true Brit
The painted line that separates the cycle lane from other lanes it is not a barrier you should be 1.5 meters away from them when passing
Can’t defend the cyclists, but at 1:00 onwards you need to be aware that (a) cyclists are not obliged to use cycle lanes, and (b) cars are still obliged to leave 1.5m when passing. You get closer than 1.5m at 1:23 apparently believing that the rule does not apply if there is a bit of meaningless paint on the road called a cycle lane. When cycling I try and avoid roads with cycle lanes because cars treat the rest of the road a car lane, creating a more dangerous situation for cyclists.
Not going to lie if I throw. If the cyclists ran a red light and I almost hit them tight moments, I would actually hit them intentionally and then claim. It was an accident and the cyclist would be at fault for running a red light
Careful talking disrespectfully about cyclists will lay you open to being caused of racial as they are a special minority . . Question is WHERE ARE THE POLICE ???
The cyclist blocking the lane!
First you berate him and then say "what an arse!"
You should not be admiring the arse of someone who behaves like that
😂
Nice to see Surbiton again, and priory road, as this was my commute from South Hampstead to Surburiton via Priory Road and Richmond Park (I cycle by e-bicycle and am always getting overtaken by the lycra-clad cyclists as I'm restricted to 15.5 miles an hour)
Cabbies are absolute dinosaurs.
Does that mean the cyclist and the pedestrians in this video are doing nothing wrong 🤷🏻♂️
@@thelondondashcam You would be screaming and shouting if every cyclist piled up in front of you at the lights and held you up when they moved off. They can never win. It's your job. Relax. But cabbies are still dinosaurs.
I love to see more cyclists taking over the roads , car drivers are the ones responsible for millions of deaths not cyclists
You can see why many people dislike cyclists
Riding stolen bikes makes them ignore laws and gravity.
Whilst I don't support rule breaking by anyone, it's worth remembering a couple of things before piling onto cyclists.
Some cyclists creep through red lights, which they shouldn't. But a majority of vehicles speed a lot of the time, and very rarely get caught, if ever. I don't support red light jumping, but the speeding is very definitely much more dangerous and problematic. Another massive problem is tailgating. Driving up the motorway I see lines of cars not sticking to a 2 second rule, but a 0.2 second rule. Extremely dangerous behaviour, and I bet several of these drivers are the first to point the finger at cyclists being a cause of danger on the roads without looking at their own behaviour.
Hence the outrage at the behaviour of pedestrians and cyclists in this video is not in proportion to the problem. Speeding and tailgating two tonne vehicles are massively problematic, cyclists breaking minor rules, not so much, due to the massive difference in potential harm caused. Again, as a cyclist I do support sticking to the highway code and personally do stick to it, but there is lot of misplaced outrage here.
2 wrongs don't make a right !!!
@@derykhawkins2199 very true, but my point was slightly different. It's about people who hate cyclists, pile on to comments boards saying how they are the main problem on the road, whilst ignoring the much greater problem.
@aberdeenstu1 I agree that cyclists shouldn't just jump red lights etc, I don't agree that it's always particularly dangerous, unlike the high speed problems that can be caused by incompetent driving (not saying all drivers are incompetent, but those that are) It's often about as dangerous as a pedestrian crossing a road. A lot of the cyclists you see here creep, check carefully, then go. I believe it's so unproblematic that in Paris they are trialling allowing cyclists to skip some or a majority of lights. Again, I do believe cyclists should keep to the laws as they stand but police tend to ignore it because of the low danger priority.
@@edj4833 Fair point.
@@edj4833 Your point is not that relevant to this problem. A motorist CAN be fined/banned or imprisoned for their failures as a driver, where as these unlicensed, uninsured entitled fktards get no comeback till they cause an accident, which will more than likely cost some driver their no claims and possibly points. The rules of the road are there to protect everyone, not there to be ignored by these sht heads.
In most cases using a cycle lane is more dangerous because impatient drivers use the opportunity to overtake and force the bike to the curb
I am a keen cyclist and have fitted a cam recorder to my bike had 2 incidents with cars in less than one week the police are pursing the matter with intent to take legal action.
Why do driver use their mobile phones while driving it happens a lot from what I have seen.
And that’s part of the problem cyclists can report cars but cars can’t report cyclists, as you can see from the video I have a lot of clips of cyclists doing stuff that they could be reported for but they are unaccountable. And if I had a camera that was pointing to oncoming traffic the amount of car drivers I would get on the phone would be outrageous most don’t even hide it.
Society needs to stop this bloke driving , give uhm ah new job make him cycle every day a lot , he is not necessarily ah bad person just ignorant
There are plenty of really good cycle lanes but we call them railway lines if they all used those lanes the cycle problem would be solved in days
I cycle almost every day. I rarely jump red lights, only when it's completely clear and I'm going slow enough to stop if I need to
The reason I occasionally jump a red is because of the drivers behind. I don't feel safe with aggro drivers who will then overtake at unsafe times. Especially if there isn't a cycle box
It’s still wrong but I do understand it, I used to go on the pavement at situations like that wrong again, but it’s what I did.
First you complained about them going through red lights then complained about them stopping at red lights. Then you treated a group of cyclists like they have a single hive mind.
Nobody complained about them stopping at a red light 🤷♂️
The complaint was about not sharing the road.
@@thelondondashcam The bike box was full he was in the only space available for him to wait in for the red light. he didn't design the road. Despite that 5 of them ARE over to the left hand side but somehow they are ALL to blame for the one being on the right. If there are two cars at the lights do you blame the one on the left for what the one on the right does?
There are loads of cyclists cycling perfectly fine in your video. I could just as easily take dashcams of bad driving and say "look at em, drivers driving that's why they are hated"
There are good drivers and bad drivers and good and bad cyclists.
Last week I was travelling along a city street in a car with 2 cyclists. I overtook the cyclists giving plenty of space, but each time we reached a set of lights one of the cyclists placed his bike right in front of my car forcing me to repeat the overtake on each block. Guess I should be glad they stopped at the red light I guess.
Then yesterday waiting for the red right turn arrow to go out, I finally was in a position to go, had to wait for a van from the other direction, made my turn and had to brake sharply for the guy who decided to cross on the red man. He glared at me like I was doing wrong, the dickhead.
Being in the middle of traffic is generally a pretty dangerous spot for cyclists to be- that's why advanced stop lines exist. People don't look behind themselves properly, plus if you're between two cars and get bumped from behind you're smacking a car rather than just falling over. That's why folks filter to the front, to make themselves visible.
Plus if they're catching up at every red light, did the overtaking actually get you anywhere?
@@samal3196 my daily commute is a motorcycle so I'm fully aware of car drivers not being vigilant and larger vehicles having significant blindspots. The situation i mentioned wasn't moving forward to advanced cycle stop lines or boxes, this was moving across from their direction of travel to come to rest directly in front of the car and in the pedestrian crossing.
When I filter to the front of the que on my motorcycle I stay in the gap and don't move across to block the vehicle lane and being a motorcycle I'm unlikely to be holding up traffic once the lights have changed.
@@iallso1 Mm, I do get that you move a lot faster with a motorbike. But in your example, the bikes evidentially weren't holding up traffic- else they wouldn't be able to catch up.
That said, one shouldn't be stopping in pedestrian crossings. But THAT said I think I'm more in support of what keeps folks most safe.
@@samal3196 who can tell, if I hadn't needed to wait for a safe overtake of the cyclists maybe I would have passed through the next set of lights before they turned red. I'm sure a less courteous driver would be able to say.
@@iallso1 True! I'm generally not too fussed about overtaking unless I know for sure it's gonna save me decent time- not sure I'd bother in most cities. BUT that's my own choice!
Those who go the Wrong Way are colloquially known as “Salmon”.
Brilliant video, cyclists should have to pass a test and obtain a license to ride on the road. Then face the same fines and punishments as drivers when they break the rules!
I agree, If its brought in to law every 5 year old on a bike needs to sit a test.
I want the same with pedestrians.
Out of curiousity, what do you do as a job? You seem to be all over the country and was just curious, great video by the way
I just drive for a living, sometimes delivering parcels sometimes delivering people.
ahh, a Bisto moment, listening to your wonderful tones. I missed thios with the live broadcast, more, much more, :)
1:30 as a cyclist I agree the car in front is slowing as it’s a red light and the left lane is clear so if turning right and needs to be in that lane just keep to the left lane that’s clear and when in the cycle box just move into the right ready for when lights turn green
I don't ride like this lol. I ride as far over to the right in the U.S. We go with the flow of traffic. I mind all traffic lights and if I have to stop sometimes I'll waive traffic around me so I'm not in the way as much. I'm very courteous.
So your the one that does it properly 😉
"F@cking people nowaday...!" are those who do not share their imperfections and upload people's mistakes, bad conduct, distractions and carlessness. Congratulations for sharing your perfections with other's fails on RUclips! You are a Star!...
You're acting as if cars don't go through red lights. You okay fella? Seem a bit frazzled.
Watch my other videos and you will see plenty of cars going through red lights.
He's complaining at the beginning about cyclist going at the same speed as the traffic in front of them. What's the issue there?
This is what the changes to the Highway Code have caused. Absolute cretins can do what they like - knowing that they can get away with taking NO responsibility for their own actions or safety and the Law will transfer this to drivers and in some cases cyclists that need to be psychic.
By me the women that push their prams in to the road to force traffic to stop are often bright orange with beer bellies and under the influence of drink and drugs. They often learn the hard way it's not what you should do.
Cars should be banned from town centres.
It will be a good day when the Government make cyclists have a reg plate and insurance .
