A heated exchange between and cyclist and a driver on the pavement has been caught on camera.
The cyclist’s headcam footage shows him coming across a white van, which is avoiding roadworks by taking to the pavement.
“You seem to be driving on the pavement!” shouts the cyclist.
He turns to see another car which is attempting the same thing.
Swearing and shouting ensues, with the cyclist calling, “I’m not letting you through! This is a pavement, not a road.”
The driver insists: “There are a lot of people driving on the pavement. Do you make the rules for life?”
A local woman joins in, saying; “Our kids play here. You could kill our kids. This is the sixth car in about ten minutes.”
The driver returns to the scene, saying: “Get a life” to the pair, before heading back to the car, as the cyclist informs him he has been caught on camera.
“Well done,” praises the local woman as the film ends.

Now I am torn; I know the video will just be idiots shouting and I don’t want to get angry at a virtual idiot for something he hasn’t done to me; but my FOMO makes me want to watch it anyway. #21stCenturyProblems

I suggest you learn that the different meanings of the word you are implying have different spellings too.

I suggest you get a sense of humour… Trust me, I’m pretty shit hot on words and spellings. Pretty good on grammer too. Not too bad at winding folks up either. Que tengas un buen tarde noche!

I’ll be honest, I would’ve driven across the pavement myself. The difference is, if someone had called me on it, I would’ve admitted I was a bit out of order doing it and not been such a prick!

I tried to watch the video, and the page auto-scrolled to auto-start video ads with sound, twice. I know road.cc has been trying to do something about this, but it is having precisely no effect. If anything the problem is getting worse, and happening on every single page of the site.

They know it. They’re just publically testing out which lie/argument they can make that meets the least resistance.

Minor fcukwittery compared
Minor fcukwittery compared with the lady in the Merc I encountered last week. She had taken to the cycle path to avoid a long stretch of roadworks and was crawling along with the wheels in the mud either side of the path. I was not happy to be stuck behind her and eventually had to tell her to stop, dismount, walk around her car thru the deep mud and continue on my way.
Some people don’t have the brains they were born with, which is ok, but don’t let those people operate dangerous machinery!
I suppose if she had been driving an Audi she would have been speeding too, so I’m grateful for small mercies at least.
The parked car is gradually
The parked car is gradually taking over the pavements in my village, so the moving car is the next step along the way in a world where there’s no hope of any enforcement.
So well done that man for taking a stand.
