Even after he "calmed down", he was still using foul language to a perfect
(and female) stranger. I hope she was ringing the police to report him for
insulting behaviour (and for perve-filming her).

And no matter what the rights and wrongs at the mini-roundabout, he could
have stopped. Anyone driving a car or van, or riding a motor-bike, would have
done so.

Big deal about the "foul" language. Women also say ****.
I'm no friend of cyclists, but it was her that failed to give way.
The accident *was* her fault.

She made a mistake or maybe did it deliberately, but the cyclist could and
should, have easily avoided her, looked like a clear 'compo cam' incident to
me.

The language wasn't that bad, given the circumstances.

It certainly looks as if he was going for a compo claim, but I'd like
to hear his side before concluding my opinion.

She made a mistake. It happens. I can't see your compo angle here as the
cyclist said he was okay.
I admire your work Sir, but this time you have it wrong.

So I've heard.

That doesn't make it anything but the height of foul manners to speak in such
a way to a perfect stranger who, for all one knows, is perfectly civilised.

In part, that is true.

In my opinion, and in most of the comments attached to the video, he could
have stopped. He chose not to.

It was disgraceful.

QUOTE:
A holiday camp worker who crashed into a car carrying three children
has been banned from driving for two years.

Mark Williamson, a maintenance worker of Stanwix Park, Silloth, said
he drank four bottles of alcohol before driving to a shop in Allonby
on Boxing Day last year.

He crashed head-on with a Peugeot carrying a woman, her partner and
their three children, Carlisle magistrates court heard. The woman
described seeing his lights coming towards her at Dubmill Point on the
B5300.

Williamson crashed head-on into the Peugeot leaving one of the
children with a broken collarbone.

Her mother described seeing Williamson slumped over the steering wheel
and said she thought he was dead until a short time later when she
noticed he had slid on to the passenger seat of his Suzuki Vitara.

In his defence, Williamson told the court that it was a stormy night
and the wind may have caused the crash.

The 35-year-old, who admitted drink-driving, added that he had not
thought he was over the limit.

He was likely to lose his job and home if he was banned from driving.

Magistrates also fined him £300 and ordered him to pay £85 in costs.

Perhaps you could give a time for this "disgraceful" language.

And no matter what the rights and wrongs at the mini-roundabout, he could
have stopped. Anyone driving a car or van, or riding a motor-bike, would have

Read the comments.

They suggest that, although he saw her nudge out, he simply wasn't
expecting her to continue right into his path.

I can understand that, even thought he could have avoided the crash by
being a little less assertive on the road.
