Any guesses at the make of either car?  (URL gives it away)

Some kind of Karma? 

Thankfully no injuries, surprisingly.

As there were aparently occupants, presumably the other car was waiting rather than parked, contrary to the BBC report.

I hope so, that Audi was flying. Would be interested to find out the result – hopefully not ‘drivers exchanged details’.

If that were a cyclist getting hit from behind they’d probably get told off for not wearing hi-viz…

The car “parked” in the cycle lane on double yellows had it’s hazards on, so it’s possible that it was broken down…

I wouldn’t be surprised if they were just waiting there because it was convenient for them though.

 

Since when have hazard lights indicated ‘broken down’?  

Since always to indicate that your vehicle may be causing an obstruction. Just because idiots abuse them doesn’t change that.

Since when have hazard lights indicated ‘broken down’?  The purpose of hazard lights is to signify that the user has opted out of all usual laws and rules relating to parking.  Just put those babies on, and you can park anywhere you feel like.  They probably make cheating on your partner and shoplifing OK as well.

whenever I cheat on my partner I wire a couple of orange lights to my bollocks. Last time she come in in the middle, sees ’em flashin’,  I says to her, “all right, love, just parking here for a coupla minutes while I unload. I’ll be done in a jiffy”. No probs.

Absolutely brilliant, cheered

Absolutely brilliant, cheered me up no end after the first day proper back at work in 2018. Just show this to the imbeciles who want to review the laws relating to punishing cyclists.
