I highly doubt they meant mph lol, thats roughly 112 km/h and they definitely aren't doing that, and at least in canada, you dont have driveways straight off a highway
As an avid cyclist I can tell that cycling in these roads with traffic going 70mph+ is an utterly terrifying feeling. I would only take these risks of there was 0 other option, and still I would do it very reluctantly
In the UK we are supposed to drive on the left apart from overtaking. After overtaking we are supposed to move back over to the left. I am surprised this gentleman is a qualified instructor, and would be interested in the opinion of his assessor.
Yeah, when I hear a “70 road”, I think it’s pretty good speed, but biking would scare me a bit. Adding the “mph” makes that higher end highway speeds…what lunatic bikes on that ?! Why is it legal to bike in that?
Bus wasnt indicating and plenty of space left and if anything, cars on left lane should slow down and wait for right lane to be clear before overtaking.
So we zoom past, possibly, the white car and instantly slow down to the point where now not only is the bus pulling away from us but we are also going slower than the white car which has plenty of space to move in front of us. The instructor needs some instruction.
There's a few points that need addressing here…. 1….The cyclist has every right to be on that duel carriageway. 2…The lady does not reach 70mph as requested…if she had done so there's plenty of time and room to pass the bus before the cyclist needed to be passed. 3. The white car was probably doing 50-55mph….it was overtaken then found the car it had just been overtaken by reduce its speed to 44mph….the white car may have thought the learner was about to turn into one of the central reservation gaps for some reason. Anyway under those circumstances with a vehicle in the overtaking outside lane on a 70mph road going down to 44mph the rule regarding undertaking slower moving traffic on the right comes into play. So the white car did nothing wrong. 3. What should have happened here if it were safe to do so is after overtaking the white car and spotting the cyclist the learner should have been instructed to move into the inside lane behind the bus and then waited for the bus to make the overtake….the learner would then have indicated and followed suit. Alternatively the learner could have stayed in the outside lane but staying closer to the bus and at around the same speed of the bus…. waiting for the bus make overtake…and giving it room to do so.
I you have to take the wheel from the student, you are pushing the student past their ability and putting everyone in danger. You should not make a habit of taking over the steering and pedals.
Shite driving instructor the white car under took her she shepuldbbe driving in the slow lane on the left unless overtaking learn the highway code lane hogger…
I would blame the UK rules for planning, it is expected for a cyclist driving at 20-30 km/h to be beside without protection to car driving about 110 km/h.
I've cycled on a 70mph A road with a hard shoulder once, and only once. I absolutely do not recommend it. This cyclist is suicidal for cycling on this road.
See this all the time, people are too busy filming tik tok or Facebook and arent looking for hazards like the white car completely obviously and should not have undertook for this reason

That last lil shake from him , 😂😂shows how frustrated he is with her not thinking of that 😂😂
Why the bus waited till the last second to get over
White Car overtaking on the inside? Surely this is a reversed video?
Guys… it's kilometers an hour 😂
Terrible posture
Doesn’t the UK go by KM?
British man calling the throttle a gas pedal 😂

As a cyclist, what the fuck. If you're gonna pick a 70 mph road at least pick one with a shoulder
I'd hate to be the guy on a 70 mph road, but sometimes it's really the only thing connecting certain destinations
This guys way more professional than other popular instructors 😂
Cars are a more major hazard. That cyclist isn't going to kill anyone else.
Bro, I get pretty stressed out whenever I have to cycle on a busy 50 km/h (~30 mph) road. 70 mph is madness and I doubt it's legal in any country
She shouldve dropped a cog. But overall shes doing well

Why is a Learner driving at 70mph??

Gas pedal… ur English bro

Shouldve called the cops
Average cyclist behaviour.
2 lanes don't make an autobahn, that cyclist has no other choice
Lol you're a shit instructor. i passed first time with 1 minor. cyclist at 70mph get the fuck out of here 😂
So by saying speed up you caused the hazard ? Lololol

Im not surprised the comments immediately go to bashing the cyclist

Cyclists are just dumb as hell some times, i saw one riding on a 40mph road 10 feet from a sidewalk. I just dont get it
The cyclist may as well be on the motorway, same speed limit.
Staying 6th gear while the car is at 40mph? Oh boy..
I've cycled on a 70mph A road with a hard shoulder once, and only once. I absolutely do not recommend it. This cyclist is suicidal for cycling on this road.
Is a learner having an instructor putting their hands on the steering wheel up to a competency level to take the car up to 70mph?
Stupid white car

Slow Diving in UK Make me sleep
This on the way to elmstead market? (Someone clarify if you know)
