Well now here's the exact problem:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktFbgwTfrbE

This guy turned left on a red into a buses only lane. He got pulled over by a copper and given a fine of £16.00. But he was on a complete scout's honor to actually give them correct details.

The police then spent DOUBLE the time telling the cyclist to shop motorists yet this cyclist got away with his offense with downright impunity. This was after they basically said "Don't worry, we're not here EVERY day, so ya know... you'll get away with it if you're lucky!"

If it was a car driver turning on red into a bus lane, he would have had several chunks of his rear end torn out. But because this guy is a cyclist, it's "Oh yeah, like, pay a fine maybe if you actually give us your real name... and make sure you shop in any motorists you record too!"

Wah wah wah.

When are you going to get it into your head that motorists, causing billions of pounds of damage, and killing thousands per year, are not the same as people on bicyles?

If you get behind the wheel of a multi-tonne 150mph lump of metal, then you are very rightly, held to a much higher standard than somebody on a 15kg bicycle.

Perhaps you'd like to introduce jaywalking laws, to clamp down on all those pesky pedestrians, too? I mean it's outrageous that police don't take as hard a line on pedestrians as on articulated lorry drivers, isn't it!

There's something right backwards about all this!

Indeed there is.

Possibly having his foot run over? That's nowhere in the video. 1.10. I'm not convinced you're watching the right video

In that case, how do you know the cyclist didn't start hitting the car? That's nowhere on the video but equally as possible.

I'd also forward that if the cyclist had produced a baseball bat and started smacking the hell out of the car, my bet is that given this was filmed by another cyclist, it would have been nice and neatly filed under B and never seen ever again.

Try focusing on what actually happened in the video, not what you imagine happened.

My point was that someone previously eluded that I have no idea what it's like to be a cyclist. I was correcting this thought.


And you're right, it doesn't matter what I do, or say... the law is on the law of the cyclist always which means you can act with impunity. This is why every single cyclist, as soon as they're out on the road, behaves in a manner I wouldn't even expect in a children's playground. Then they get all butthurt when they do themselves an injury or a car driver reacts in a manner such as this instead of taking their lesson from that cyclist like a good little boy and maybe begging forgiveness!

As a cyclist yourself, this includes you.

And if they had all beed eaten by space aliens or dragons or trolls we wouldn't have seen it either seeing we are speculating wildly here!
Mind you hiding a baseball bat when you are on a bike is probably not that easy.

I found the vid. It's by a guy called DrMorocho on youtube. He violates so many motoring laws himself and likes to point the finger on others.

Check this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6cEwtbRndVo
he's cycling in a strictly pedestrian area and uploads the video saying he's been harrassed by pedestrians. Ok pedestrian looks like he's a bit of a !!!!!!!. But two wrongs don't make a right.

The same guy almost ran over an off duty police a while ago on a crossing.

[some time later]

Classic example of this idiot: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZvhPfXhmzc&list=UUscdyjK0XfSq2xIfmFwv50g&feature=c4-overview

1) truck stops before the give way sign fine. But he has a problem with it's stoppage

2) bus parked on the bus lane which is also shared as a cycle lane. He has a problem with it.

3) motorcycle overtakes him. Perfectly safely, but he has a problem with it.

Classic case of these cyclist losers who go out onto the road and look for trouble so they can get a rise and post it online to make up for their pathetic lives.

Now, there are plenty of legitimate cyclists and motorcyclists who post legimiate videos of people driving dangerously. Equally there are some really sad people who have nothing better to do than extract and edit these videos and post them online for all to see.

Nice. So a cyclist rides into a pair of pedestrians where he shouldn't have even been cycling, they retaliated and they're the criminals? You're kidding me!

At 9:20, the cop is basically saying that "Yeah, it says no cycling, but it's not like anyone is going to enforce it. Maybe a PCSO will ticket you... if they can be bothered."

But as established in another video, the polices' approach is "If they give the correct details, great. If they don't, there's nothing we will do about it"

So I can ride with complete abandon on my bike and if a cop takes offense, I can give any details I want...

And look... a cyclist happily damaging a car despite him riding straight out into a lane not giving a damn the taxi was already overtaking him.

And here we are at it!

Man I am going to ride like a total !!!! next time I'm on a bike. The cops are totally impotent with this stuff, no wonder cyclists act how they damn well please!

HGV and buses were fine. Motorcycle was to close at that speed.

Classic case of a motorist who has problems with cyclists and resentfully, rather than objectively, comments on their YouTube videos.
