Get away? To the next set of lights you mean.
The driver evidently had time to get out of the car though? So no hurry.
its amazing how many drivers in a hirry have time to argue when it suits.
I think you need to relook at the video and watch the Audi. He was legally behind the line.
Cyclists were legally entering the ASL from the left.
He forced his way into the ASL. The fact you see nothing wrong with this demonstrates the warped logic
THe ASL is there to aid cyclists in a safe transition through the junction.
What other rules can i ignore in the car when it suits me?
As I said the cyclist was a !!!! in his behaviour. However only one person instigated it.

No they were not, they did not enter the ASZ by way of a feeder lane as required under the RTA, but over a solid white line. Therefore the cyclists are also in the wrong for entering the ASZ on red.

If we took all the bikes off the road and crushed them we could reduce pollution at a stroke.

How. By putting cyclists into cars?

There was no danger at any point in that video until the cyclist decided to yell completely ott abuse at the passenger in the car.

It was a very minor traffic violation that was escalated beyond all reason by the cyclist with a chip on his shoulder.

The fact he got his comeuppance for this is absolutely hilarious, yes. I'd expect the same to happen to me if I called a stranger in the street what he called the occupants of the car.

Cyclists pull up legally at traffic lights.
Audi driver gets frustrated and illegally positions himself / herself to get the jump on the cyclists.
Cyclist notices this and tries to inform the people in the car via passenger window.
Audi pulls away and cycles over the cyclists foot.
Understandably annoyed at this, the cyclist gives chase and then addresses the driver of the vehicle in a way that best describes their driving ethics.
Passenger of Audi then assaults cyclist.

Terrible riding on very poor observations from the cyclists.

That'll teach him, a section 5 public order offence nicely dealt with.

Yeah that'll teach that pesky cyclist.

He'll think twice before confronting a driver that run over his foot after illegally positioning itself at the traffic lights.in the future.

He'll think twice about initiating a needless and futile confrontation over a complete non event of a traffic violation in future.

Due to nothing other than the large chip on his shoulder, that cyclist put himself in danger TWICE in that video clip. All over the kind of incident that happens all over the country, thousands of times a day without violent reprecussions.

Since when did a car running over your foot become a non event of a traffic violation?
I'd be !!!!ed off as well, as would most people.

I wouldn't have positioned myself (with feet under the car!) right next to a driver who obviously isn't the most by the book motorist, just so I could initiate a pointless confrontation about a minor infraction that affected no one.

The cyclists keenness to make an issue out of this non event led to everything that transpired afterwards.

Right, so the cyclist is the bad one for not getting the way out of the vehicle driving illegally? The motorist driving illegally and running over people's feet is obviously the victim. Is that right?
