Ah, the one place where you may be competent to drive a car.

And you can be an advanced driving instructor, too.

Free from having to worry about all those pesky laws and rules that would be the bane of your life if you ever tried to drive a car in the real world.

Just wish they could reissue this with a new title, Helmut Kid Rides Again

Note to younger viewers and victim huggers, there are symbols of cyclists on the side to indicate the number of kills. This is derived from aircraft like the Blenheim Bomber and Spitfire from World War II. Please do not try this at home.

And an update

Ah well, I got bored enough that I decided to watch the video.

And, to be honest, I'm shocked at the complete lack of ambiguity. The van driver was agressive and reckless in his manner of driving, illegally overtook on a zebra crossing and deliberately tried to intimidate/hit the cyclist. There is no discussion needed.

Anyone critising the cyclist in this instance needs their head examining, and should definitely stay off the roads.

I totally agree with you!

At last!

You certainly weren't agreeing a couple of hours ago when you posted this little masterpiece:

The road is a very narrow single lane road, with a zebra crossing. The cyclist admits that the van driver passed him safely on the first incident. The cyclist pulls out prematurely to overtake parked cars, around 55 seconds. The van driver is met with a narrow road, with zebra markings, he had already initiated his overtake safely as cyclist admits, but as he was on the other side of the road, needed to get over, the cyclist has not adjusted his actions to accomodate him and there are also speed bumps on the road in sets of 3, which are designed so you have to pass inbetween them in order to not wreck your car/van and are deliberately made to slow you down. The van slows down, but not the cyclist.

...

If I was the van driver, I would ask for an appeal on these grounds, he has been harshly treated as now ( to me) that has been the case.

Well, you harked on for a dozen or so posts but at least you've seen sense now.

I haven't seen sense Azari, I always knew what you were on about was correct.

The problem I had was the way you were replying to other posters, like due to you posting first, you had absolute right over what was entered onto it.

Look from post 25 onwards and you will see what I mean. You got more and more agressive and rude as you go on.

I noticed it on another thread and thought I would see how far it would go.

There is no need for rudeness, anytime , period.

Lets hope you remember that next time you post !

:rotfl: Nice try but the "I was only doing it as a test" is one of the oldest and lamest ploys on the net.

You were completely out of control until you 'went for a snooze' (although I would thing something more related to medication was involved. ).

And whether you care to admit it or not, the evidence is that you have now thought about the absurdity of your position and pulled yourself together.
