For once I was also feeling angry – I don’t like drivers risking my life like this when I’m just going to work. The driver was speeding to a considerable degree going by how quickly he caught up to me when I was doing 15mph on this 20mph road.

  1. Well, Mikey, 50mph, that's how fast he was going as he travelled towards you. How do I know? It's 135metres between Wormholt Rd and Thorpebank Rd (you and he passed both roads, on your left-hand side). He covered that distance in 6seconds (from the 11secs point to 17secs in your video). That works out to be 81km/hr, ie 50mph. An absolute disgrace.

  2. Sorry, Mike, cannot believe this guy, what a moron. Some drivers may disagree, but the car exemplifies the attitude, accompanied by the typical horning. Like cyclists are not meant to be on the roads. And there's no consideration for IF you have to swerve out or manoeuvre out, for whatever reason. He just came tumbling down like a huge snowball on a mountain. Absolute moron. I hope he is prosecuted for his manner and its ignorancy.

  3. Zero understanding of British roads.

    Zero.

    I bet you he has no insurance, tax, mot and its his uncles, brother's , neighbours sons licence.

  4. If he has to take the drivers course he would probably pay some one to take it for him. Glad you are alive and well Sir Mickey! Our cycling lanes are wide here in Highlands Ranch Colorado. Also used by cars to pass and have broken concrete and giant grates. Same problems because of impatient drivers.
