Mr Vine's mad cyclist

Mason6 · 9th September 2016, 08:26

I'm not the biggest fan of cyclists but they're not all bad however this lass is way off the scale!

I'm glad she's been brought to book and I hope they also take into consideration the fact that her car was un-taxed at the time

Me too - she was way out of order - and isn't typical that whilst she wants to have a go at someone else for a "perceived" fault/crime - she herself is breaking the law by not having a RFL.

I have come across barmy cyclists - the worst was in London when crossing on a zebra crossing a cyclist barged through so as an instant reaction I pushed him - his aggression was then unbelievable - certainly the equal of this idiot woman with Jeremy Vine. Luckily I was with a colleague and two clients and faced with four people rounding on him the scrote backed off but not before shouting the F word at us more than once.

So cyclists can be just as bad.

Whatever you use on the road - bad behaviour is bad behaviour.

Oh yeah!!

Never spotted that - classic example of how our brains can override observations.

Its 50/50 when it comes to bad driving/cycling.

Unfortunately, even if a car has a dashcam its fixed facing forwards and less likely to record all of an incident than a cyclists headcam which records wherever they look.

This makes youtube look like its all victim cyclists and angry drivers.

I have had a carrier bag full of shopping ripped out of my hand by a cyclist who shot through a red pedestrian crossing light.

If I had been one step further onto the crossing he would have crashed into me.

shouting "RED LIGHT!!!" at him just got a torrent of abuse in response.

Unfortunately the can of tomato soup I launched at him from my spilled shopping missed by a few inches as he pedaled away.
