https://uk.screen.yahoo.com/video/playl ... 35457.htmlWatch the second video - the idiot cyclist
tailgating an HGV. Brave? No. Stupid? Yes.
Third video - Watch a cyclist get squashed between a bus and a 4x4. His own fault for trying to squeeze through a narrowing gap. Notice how another
idiot cyclist pedals through the same gap. Honestly, some people there's no talking to.
Humm it doesn't matter how many time I click on the link but I get :
1) the cyclist and the bus
2) the motorcyclist and the opening door
3) the lorry's load leaning over on a corner to the oncoming traffic
1) the cyclist is deliberating riding slowly for no apparent reason than to delay the bus. Who knows why and what has occurred previously but in any instance and from UK rules he is never to impede others progress. This is a form of 'road rage' that escalated in the cyclists bike being deliberately run into. Both actions are awful.
2) the rider was going far too quickly for the possibly hazards that might easily occur. Unless the door was opened deliberately (unlikely but possible), and frmo what I could see the traffic was still moving slowly so why open any door? If that vehicle was stopped albeit briefly they still failed to check for traffic. But many drivers/riders seem unable to look properly in some foreign shores!
3) The lorry might have had wind cause or assist this lean, but so might a shifting load, as well as the speed might have been too high for the corner and badly loaded goods for it to lean so dangerously. The oncoming car was incredibly lucky that it didn't fall on them!
