Mucker1884 got a reaction from Ghost of Clough in Random stuff that people do that annoy me
Not sure I understand that? Sure, he's a nob for being on the 'phone, but where does the dash cam come into the equation? Couldn't you just as easily have connected the crime to the colour of his car, or the fact that he was wearing a tie (or not, as the case may be!)
Yep... I'm baffled by the reference to dash cams, sorry!

Mucker1884 got a reaction from DarkFruitsRam7 in Random stuff that people do that annoy me
1/ Aggressive is not in my nature, so apologies if that's how my post came across.
2/ Yeah... actually you're right... this is the place for a moan and a rant. I forgot where I was! LOL!
I think you need to click the vid. It then goes full screen and a full 5 min video. It works for me, and I made sure I was logged out of my account doodah. FF to just after a minute... it's nothing exciting, but yet another examples of numpties with no road sense or spacial awareness!
Enjoy your weekend... I'm off to see what Old BurtonRam is waffling on about now... no doubt it includes spending some "me time" in enclosed spaces and drinking perfumed rose water! :-)

@Mucker1884 and @Coconut. I’ve not wasted my life reading more than a line of your posts on this topic. But from the tiny bits that I’ve picked up, it sounds like the most boring spectacle I’ve ever witnessed. And I’ve seen some crap 0-0 draws in my time.
Chill out and have a beer or a Dark Fruits. It’s Friday and football is back tomorrow.

Mucker1884 reacted to May Contain Nuts in Random stuff that people do that annoy me
1) I felt your intiial post was a little aggressive tbh, I didn't like being accused of being in the wrong, hence the reactive post. No harm done.
2) Yeah, but that's what this entire thread is for! I wasn't angry at the time, or now, just a little exasperated at the cyclists stupidty and thought how differently and how much worse it could have turned out if was another driver or hadn't spotted her.
The dashcam link just appears to be about 5 second loop of a cyclist riding on the pavement,, unfortunately.

Firstly, the main point of my post was to point at that here in Britain, we don't give the same consideration and priorities to cycling/cyclists as they do over there. There, the cycle lane would have cut across the path of the traffic, and taken priority. So yes, I 100% agree with you... we ain't in France or Belgium! That was the point I was trying to make, and the point of my little dig at the authorities over here, (and even smaller dig at drivers)! I meant "I wish we could be more like them, and treat cyclist with a lot more tolerance and understanding"!
Secondly, I hadn't noticed any hatched areas at first look, so apologies for missing that from the photo. The photo-shopped green line doesn't help when trying to establish the road markings, but yes, having now taken a closer look, I do see things a little clearer. Apologies again!
Nor was I there, so wasn't aware exactly how the situation panned out, what direction she came from, whether she was ahead of you or not (although one would naturally assume so, if you were stopped from advancing?). I only had your initial brief/less detailed description to go on, remember.
You also made it appear (in my opinion) that the 5 second delay was considered by you as a negative, hence my ramblings about all things being bright and beautiful! I now see you were not one bit bothered by this delay, so yet again, I owe you an apology for my initial misunderstanding.
Thirdly, you appear to have been riled by my post, and appear somewhat aggressive in your response. Now if I were the type to make assumptions, I could perhaps wonder whether such a response could be replicated whilst you were driving... Such assumptions may also lead me to believe you are a complete numpty behind the wheel... but I'm not, so I don't! I'm more prone to imagine we could meet up at the match some day... purely coincidentally of course... and become lifelong friends!
Either way, congratulations on doing exactly what you were trained to do, in avoiding a collision with the cyclist.
There are many obstacles put in our way out there on the road, and we can only hope we all manage to steer clear of danger, as sometimes skill alone is not enough.
We've all been there. The world is full of numpties!
If this works (Dashcam Video below... fast forward to 1:10), here is an example where I too managed to avoid someone that "shouldn't have where he was, plain and simple"... I didn't feel the need to rant, be that at the time, or indeed on the internet some time thereafter.
(If it doesn't work, then my final apologies of the post. I'm not sure I have the skills to post a personal video on here!)
Happy motoring, my friend.
FF to 1min 10secs...

Holed up in a tent, in rural NE France, marvelling at the tent’s resistance to 45-50mph gusts!
