Here is a classic case of driver impatience, I believe, the driver got fixated on getting out in front of cyclists and risked pulling out in front of a lorry doing at least 40mph.

I would have submitted to the police but couldn’t get a read on the number plate.

Have you got any examples of cyclists being worth more than the life of the driver?

Edit: Here is the view the lorry driver had ahead of the corner. Any clues for him that he should not have been driving at or above the limit?

I think they glanced but didn

I think they glanced but didn’t look long enough to judge the speed (I suspect the lorry was nearer 50 than 40), they certainly panicked almost as soon as they went, nearly hit the far kerb (hence the braking). Shame we can’t see the head movements.

It is the sort of crap corner you’d hope that users would take extra care.

And here we have some high quality fuckwittery. Obviously had the collision occurred it would have been the cyclists fault somehow.

Unfortunately, it wouldn’t have just been the driver who might have suffered but several of yourselves would have probably been collected in the collision as well.

Shocking ‘driving’ but nice

Shocking ‘driving’ but nice to see the lead rider cares about others enough to have an extended rear mudguard.

You know, I’m not convinced

You know, I’m not convinced that driver looked both ways before pulling out…

What did you expect when you

What did you expect when you had slowed to a virtual stop to talk with your friend after you had signalled rather than continuing to go round the corner ?
