A warning letter. That footage should be enough for due care! Guaranteed the stern letter went in the bin within seconds.
Why is sitting in traffic on your phone instant 6 points and £200 but repeated, reckless idiocy like this just "driver retraining" and "warning letter"?
This is a very good question.
This is where I live. I don't cycle that route, but routinely along Tottenham Court road I get over taken by buses who then swing violently into bus stops right in front of me (often as I'm entering the bus stop) leaving me nowhere to go, when if they'd waited a split second for me to clear, there'd be no problem. The irony is, that if buses stop in front of me on narrow roads, I wait patiently behind them. I also don't over take buses if they are signalling to move, I pull behind and follow, rather than put myself in a dangerous position, but many bus drivers seem to either not care or even deliberately put cyclists at risk with dangerous moves. That said, a lot of other cyclists ride like morons too, and pedestrians...well less said the better sometimes. 2 eyes, neither of which seem to work...especially when they're on the phone....
These silly warning letters are often sent to the registered keeper, not the driver. They just make it clear that drivers can get away with endangering others even in the quite unlikely event they are caught on video and reported.
Surely you know as a cyclist you are meant to disappear into a puff of smoke in such situations . We can't expect such motorists to wait an extra 3 seconds before turning the steering wheel .
don’t all british people learn to Apparate at Hogwarts? should’ve zapped out of the way 🙄 that taxi driver needs more punishment than has been given, it obviously hasn’t stuck
That was a hard No! to your question... The training courses clearly not enough, and seems they don't keep records to work out a driver has already been given the soft option.
@Cycling God Retraining course first go, warning letter 2nd, how I understood from vid.
It’s in reverse order. First they got a warning, second they got sent on a retraining course.
Hopefully the next time they do something like this, and they will, you are there to report it and they get more than a slight telling off.
Pretty sure he drives like that all day all days.
Or the cracker injures or kills someone.
Quite clearly there's not severe enough punishment for repeat offenders, a course should come first not a warning letter, which don't make the slightest difference to crap drivers.
Maybe a course plus points are the way to go.
People like that never learn. The only way you can change their behaviour is by force or threat of force. The level of force required is debatable. Personally I'd ban them from driving.
He gave the buses more space than he gave the cyclist.
The bus can ruin his day...
Which shows he cares more about his vehicle being damaged than the life of another road user. He shouldn’t be driving.
I recognise that 2022 section - I go from King’s Cross to Paddington occasionally on a Boris bike and get cut up by impatient taxi drivers all the way - surprised the police actually even did anything 😮 A better punishment would be to suspend their licence for a week and progressively more if they get reported again - clearly they haven’t learnt 🙄
Should forward the footage to TFL also
Not surprised when they get off lightly each time with a letter or so called retraining.
It's almost like warning letter are pointless.
From 0:14 to 0:22 you were in the driver’s blind spot. At best, you were a distant spec in the taxi’s left mirror for no more than 4 seconds (around 0:09 - 0:13). Not making excuses for the driver as they should have checked their blind spot, but it’s easy to see how these situations can arise.
They arise because people do not drive in the way they are meant to. When changing lanes, especially when two roads merge into one, you must check your blind spots.
@Cycling God It can hide a truck even! The number of times I've read about truck drivers recounting how they seem to be invisible. "Four wheelers" just look for other cars -- nothing else.
And the trying to force his way inbetween two vulnerable road users whilst aggressively beeping his horn?
Let me guess, dazzled by low sun.
Just wonder what bike it is you use? I am looking to get a road bike for a long commute (30km a day) can you recommend? Many thanks.
1) Warning letter issued
2) Driver Retraining Course attended
3)...
Well we'll see if there is a third incident. He's used up both his other chances...!
❤❤❤
At least in the *first* incident you were probably in his "blind spot" Your position in relation to his left door mirror, his door pillars and closing speed didn't help so I don' t think it was a case of him just being inconsiderate BUT the second WAS certainly inconsiderate driving.
He could just look out the window, you know turn his head.
Driving without due care and attention.
Looking over your shoulder to check your blind spot is a requirement to pass the driver's license test in Germany. You can't tell me that's not a thing in GB, I wouldn't believe you.
@soups it is a thing in the UK.
@@soups8146 in the UK too, but few drivers continue the habit
report them to TfL as well
Jesus, this guy can't wait 2 seconds for more space, can he? Take their license away before they hurt somebody, jeez 😵💫
Can you report these videos online? In Poland just to get something like that reported I would need to spend a few good hours on a Police station where deliberate negligence of Polish police serves as a discouragement to report again something in future.
Yes, we have a simple online reporting system.
Why does he still have a taxi licence? He's a danger.
When you're stupid, it's for life!
The 2021 driving was terrible driving! I think in the 2022 clip you could have anticipated that you were in his blind spot. He shouldn't have changed lane but you could have fixed his bad driving.
I did, by braking.
@@CycleGaz I meant the 2021 was terrible driving!, I'll edit.
@@CycleGaz you did fine, but I'm holding you to the highest possible standard; I think braking a bit earlier would have been top class.
I'm not physic ;)
Nice video about traffic 👍🤗
Shred the licence and crush the vehicle there’s no excuse for doing that as a professional driver.
Why did you ask that? Do you always ask such questions if the answer is obvious and not what you want to hear?
A training course. Lol.
Or else we will be very, very angry with you. And we will write you a letter, telling you how angry we are.
How do you make your handlebar transparent?
It's because of stitching in a 360 camera.
Holotape. They sell it on Aliexpress.
Riding straight into danger
It's funny you say that on a video where I'm clearly braking.
Yet another antagonist cyclist
Yep!
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
You do know that an antagonist is not something inherently bad?
Let's see what the word "antagonist" means: "a person who actively opposes or is hostile to someone or something; an adversary." Ok, considering what we see in this video and many other videos from Gaz, if he is a so-called "antagonist" it must mean he is an antagonist toward bad drivers and all their antics. I think that should cover it ;)
