    It will have nothing do with tfl, it’s a private highway within a royal park.

    Anyhow the lane is to facilitate a right turn out of the house for riders, to me it looks like a token effort but hey.

    More fool you you won’t want to read this answer ; )

    Care to elaborate a little more?

    I think I speak for a few in expressing curiosity about the matter.

    The bloke with the Ducati might be a terrible rider but it’s up to the cops to charge him for driving offences, not the mob.

    Seems he’s deleted it…

    I don’t suppose there’s anything in his emails that would interest Her Majesty’s Constabulary? They may not be all that hot on cyclists being run down, but they do seem to like people saying naughty things on the internet… 👿

    Doesn’t the following apply ? (Can’t see it being amended in the acts up and including 2010)


    Cycling without due care and attention.

    Source: Road Traffic Act 1988 Section 29

    Offence: It is an offence for a person to ride a cycle on a road without due care and attention, or without reasonable consideration for other persons using the road.

    No.

    It doesn’t.

    I didn’t mean in this particular case, but as in the general case mentioned… or did you mean that it could never apply when using a phone on a bike ?

    I don’t know. If the Police won’t do their job properly and enforce the law when they’re given the evidence then an online witch hunt/ Vigilante action might embarrass them into doing their job in future.

    Pitchforks at dawn

    Cyclist was being irresponsible using their phone but that in no way takes away from the terrible riding by the motorcyclist. it’s not clear whether that’s actually a cycle lane (there aren’t any markings I can see on g-maps) but it certainly has the appearance of one so I don’t think the cyclist was in the wrong place.

    The motorcyclist should have over-taken if he wanted to pass and left enough space. I’d have pressed for Careless Driving charge.

    Definitely the general fuckwittery of the internet, I think the IT Crowd absolutely nailed that one via it’s homage to cat-bin-lady, before it shuffled off our screens last year.

    I’m sure a lot of us now have a downloaded copy of the video, which we should all be keeping private.

    If those comments about the biker above are true, I hope he sends a sincere apology to the cyclist should the Police or anyone else involved give him the opportunity to do. And yes, a legal wrap across the knuckles via the Police is certainly still necessary. Both for the accident and choosing to be such a dick about it afterwards.

    Is that the general fuckwittery of “cyclists” or the general fuckwittery of “people on the internet”? _Any_ bit of bad-behaviour that gets youtubed seems to stir up that kind of virtual torch-bearing mob (e.g. cat-bin-lady). There are people out there ready to throw away the moral high ground over pretty much any kind of incident.

    @Gkam84 Online witch-hunts / lynch mobs are as stupid and wrong as lone vigilante action is. Our two previous comments were simultaneous; I wasn’t replying to yours. Maybe the video shows nothing of interested to the law. It is at least a (well made!) video of a moment on our roads.

    Oh, my heart bleeds purple
    Oh, my heart bleeds purple piss for him.

    He’s a nasty little bully who tried to act the hard man by assaulting someone from behind with an almost 200 kilogram weapon.

    He then tried to act the big man again by showing off his exploits, he’s no better than the little scrotes that film themselves happy slapping or king punching. Just vile scum.

    I won’t be getting involved in spreading his details around but if somebody does give him a dig before the police get to him then really, it’s of his own making.

    There was NO need to go round endangering someones life the way he did.
