Video: Motorist drives into cyclist at Oldham roundabout
A car's dashcam has captured the moment a cyclist was knocked from his bike at a roundabout in Oldham when a motorist apparently failed to see him and drove into the back of him.
The footage, shot at the Shaw roundabout, was filmed last week by YouTube user Thomas Hallows.
Though no doubt sporting some bruises, the cyclist luckily appears to be unhurt.
He said: "I pulled in round the corner and gave the cyclist my number in case he wants this but not had a call as of yet.
"Driver of the black car was dealing with it quite well. Both in shock. Driver was onto his insurers."
One person commenting on the video wondered whether the motorist failed to see the cyclist since he was concentrating exclusively on traffic to the right as he waited to enter the roundabout.
Another said, "This almost happened to me last weekend," adding, "Some people never check where they're going tbh and it's really sad to see this happen. Losing concentration can be fatal."

No. The jury found him guilty, the judge sentenced him,
I'd say this is only tangentially related to cycling – the fact that it happened to someone on a bike is just chance. It's more a policing story.

The most common cause of fatal collisions in Norfolk in 2022 was loss of control (26%), closely followed by failing to look properly (21%).
