Must admit I'm not too sure how the land rover made the woman fall into the ditch, seems like she was not in proper control of her cycle. That said I am constantly shocked by the appalling standard of driving when I'm on my bike. I've now clocked 250 miles on my new bike and I've had 3 road rage incidents by drivers thinking I should be riding in the potholes on the side of the road and more close passes then I care to count. I've just fitted a bike cam and the next time it happens the footage will be getting sent to the police.
And yes I know the stupid 'cyclists don't pay road tax' argument that gets wheeled out every time this subject is raised but a lot of cyclists such as myself are also drivers and in my case I pay tax on 3 cars so I don't feel too bad using the roads on my bike.
