To have the sheer gall to accuse someone of threatening behavior after she has begun, continued, and escalated the interaction is really quite breathtaking...
She is a risk to her own children. Using a mobile with them in the car. More concerned about confronting a cyclist, than the safety, or the mental health of her own children. She needs more than police intervention.
My friend, I am a motorcyclist. I have met more that a few of these types. Last weekend - I kid you not - one of them nearly put us in a hedge - seriously! - then chased after us for about 2 miles. We were two up on an old east-block motorcycle (32 hP at best and being driven sedately) that could barely manage half the speed of her big German estate car. They all retreat when you stand firm. You stood your ground well, Friend. Salut !
If that is the worst thing that happens to her she is doing pretty good. What a precious princess. All credit to the cyclist for keeping his cool and not swearing and shouting.
My ex was like this. Would scream at me and then accuse me of upsetting the kids by causing her to be enraged. This lady is very, very difficult to watch.
Love the way she starts the conversation with playing her "children card" as straight away that gives her a free pass to being a victim.what a bag of shit.
@@thisisnumber0 as a cyclist, using youtube as media to "display" who's wrong or right isnt egoistic at all. It's for people to know better how to handle such situations..
How long is Rye Lane? If it was long, I'd expect a little courtesy from the cyclist, the cyclist's video doesn't show properly the lead up to her initial overtake, was she tailgating him? I didn't hear the engine until the overtake, Cyclists should be afforded a safe journey and should be courteous to other road users. This day would have been a lot better had she just carried on or the cyclist shown some courtesy, it's easy to put a foot down and let someone past, 10 seconds and they are gone! but we don't know because we don't see the start of the video, just a speeded up section with no sound, why is that? I stopped watching as soon as she started having a go. He was obviously prepared for a confrontation.
Just what makes this woman, as an individual, more important than the cyclist? The usual reason given is that she pays road tax, insurance etc however, the vast majority of adult cyclists also have a car and so also pay road tax etc etc and while cycling they are using up far less space on the road than a car driver while still paying their dues.
Wasting police operator’s time when they should be taking calls about crimes, obstructing the highway, using a mobile phone while driving, putting the cyclist and her children in danger. Should be prosecuted, fined and serve a driving ban.
So, did she take a picture using her mobile phone whilst overtaking you with her children in the car and she thinks you’ve done something wrong! The police should prosecute her...
I like the way Karen carefully and safely pulled into the adjacent layby, rather than just stopping on the carriageway, leaving her kids in some danger, and inconveniencing other road users. Oh, wait...

Let's think through this, a driver slows down to complain about a cyclist slowing her progress, then slows again to film him on her phone and to remonstrate again. Perhaps she should complain to the police that her ego has caused a serious delay in her journey.
How ridiculous! There were clear straight parts of the road where she could safely overtake the cyclist. You can’t expect to drive on rural roads and not expect other road users to be present, meaning you may need to patient and wait behind cyclists, horses, agricultural vehicles etc. I am not a cyclist but fully support you against this ignorant person
“I don’t feel threatened at all. I just wanted to let you know...” Oh FFS! I bet they’re so glad you called... Twatto! Imagine being married to that thing...!
The actions of the woman should be an automatic sentence of anger management classes or 30 days suspension of license. I hate it when people are in such a hurry but have time to stop and argue.
Good work by the cyclist though both with patience and also like how he kept a huge distance there when off the bike so there was no ambiguity about any threatening stance. I think that's a really clever and important tactic in this type of situation. Remember, its very hard to win an argument with a smart person, buts its absolutely impossible to win one with a stupid person!

You just know that had you been physically close to her even 100% none threatening, just to try and reason with her, she would have screamed blue murder and really milked the threatening behaviour card.

That pointless minute on the phone to the police could well have been the difference between a life being saved, or emergency services being a moment too late. What a piece of work.
It took them away from scrutinising at least two or three mean tweets... someone may have had their feelings hurt without getting a visit from constable plod while she ranted on.
Jane , yes , but it is also incumbent on cyclists , drivers of tractors and other slow moving vehicles to not needlessly obstruct other road users who wish to ( legally ) go faster . If there is not going to be a safe opportunity to pass within a reasonable time/distance , it is incumbent on the driver of the slower vehicle to stop if necessary to allow following traffic to pass .
@@derekheeps1244 to stop in a safe place, not just stop on a single lane carriageway, what was stopping the karen from parking off road in the layby instead of blocking a blind corner?
It isn't clear to me how long the car driver had been waiting to safely pass the cyclist. There may be nothing in the Highway Code requiring a cyclist to pull over, but I don't think riding within the law is a reason to show less consideration to the driver of a faster vehicle. While the car driver obviously handled the developing situation badly, the cyclist may also have shown poor judgement and missed opportunities to let her pass, because he felt "entitled" to hold the lane.
She was using her phone while driving, also driving on the wrong side of the road when she was arguing, parks half on the road when there was plenty of space on the left, calls 999 which is an emergency service, and ignored her children's crying,

So thank you. I recently followed a cyclist who had to merge from the cycle lane to the road for road works. For literally a 100 metres. I slowed down and gave distance but the car behind leaned on their horn. The cyclist turned and I pointed behind. They smiled .

Looks like a lovely quiet lane for a bike ride.
She also parks her car half on the road on what looks like a bend, stands in the roadway, impeding traffic. I couldn't tell if she had her hazards or even a blinker on. If she cares about her kids, she would pull off where it's safe and not put them, herself, and other drivers in harm's way. I feel sorry for the next cyclist that she encountered.
Good grief such a narrow road - what did she expect you to do?! What kind of behaviour is she modelling for her kids? Who is doing the threatening here?! Pulling alongside you, yelling, stopping the car and then stopping and approaching you? Her poor kids 😔
Well yeah. She had had to wait a little while (about 3 minutes, according to Strava) but the road is really winding too so even if I hadn't been there she's only have been doing 15mph or so.

If a tractor, horse rider, cyclist, whatever is moving slowly in front of you then you have to accept that they are other road users who are just entitled to use the road as you are. That’s what the law says. If you are moving slowly it is courteous to pull over and let held up traffic pass but not until it is convenient to do so. Only an entitled cow like this would expect another road user to pull off the road just so that she could sail through. There are more and more spoilt me-me-me drivers around, unfortunately.
I’m also a cyclist and also think the driver is an idiot but what you’ve said isn’t true. The Highway Code section 133 explicitly instructs road users to give way to vehicles who want to overtake on single-track roads (the type of road this clip started on) in the same way they would give way to oncoming vehicles. To be clear: on single-track roads the faster vehicle has right of way. You have no right to obstruct a faster moving vehicle just because you’re in front of them. The reason for this should be obvious but I’ll explain. Living and working in a rural area, far too often have I seen ignorant drivers monopolising single track roads and insisting as many as four cars wait behind them. Firstly this is very selfish but can also be dangerous when two of these queues meet each other or when an ambulance or fire engine needs to get past. This can force drivers to reverse around corners or force emergency vehicles to wait while the bottle neck is cleared - all because some drivers like you think their sense of entitlement is the same as the Highway Code.

@Harry Old technically, she had stopped the car when she took the photo though she didn't use the handbrake or her hazard lights. She was blocking the oncoming lane whilst speaking to the cyclist and clearly taking her attention off the road. Probably several traffic offences in all that.
@Harry Old I think it would still be driving without due care (note the head-on she narrowly avoids) and probably harassment too. And the sham 999 call is an offence
She certainly wasn't keeping an eye on the road whilst talking to him, and with the kids in the car aswell. Disgraceful. Not only is she a self-righteous liar, she's a danger to other road users aswell.
Thanks for posting this. She is as thick as two planks, and a complete prat to boot, believing that she owns the road. Full marks for staying calm and being polite; you are a better man than me Gunga Din.
Three planks short of a bridge is the common saying As one plank is needed to walk on - whilst positioning the other two far enough apart for a vehicle to use. Hence - if she only has two planks ? Well she can only make half a bridge with the other plank (or stand in the water - to get both planks across)
If the police are ever serious about people misusing the 999 emergency call number then they need to do something about people like that woman. If they never do anything to such people then don't ever complain to the public about misuse of 999 calls...because it's the police's own fault for never bothering about such obvious offender's.

A police welfare check on those kids would be a very good idea. That person isn't right in the head. I wonder if her husband knows she took them out of the house.
Oh, i would not have handled it as well as you did. She was completely in the wrong, broke the law by using her phone while driving, not only putting everyone on the road at risk, bit her children too, then walks into the road blocking your way and you don't know what she's going to do. Then she stops the traffic completely. I just wish that 999 would issue fines for calls like these. Karma would have been had you started cycling and got in front of her before she started off again. Well played.
It’s truly incredible isn’t it, the idea that the cyclist is entitled and arrogant because he won’t stop and let the driver pass. Beggars belief how people can lack self awareness so badly.
This depends how long she had been behind before the clip started - a couple of minutes is entirely reasonable , as time gets longer , a reasonable cyclist would be looking for somewhere to pull in and let following traffic pass
@@derekheeps1244 Well actually, no, it doesn’t. I doubt very much that the driver would tell a local farmer he or she is ignorant if they were stuck behind a tractor. It’s pure entitlement on the part of the driver and is all too common on the roads.

I love the way that it's ok for her to block the road - 1st stopping an oncoming vehicle while arguing with you, then having another car stop next to her car, blocking the road, to complain about you. Her time is sooo important. If only some licenses were revoked upon proof of a lack of road antiquate, lack of due care for other road users, lack of understanding of the rules of the road or even the 'guide' (Highway Code) on how to use the roads safely. A few licence removals and the roads would be much safer for all.
Here in New Mexico, she’d be in deep shit for child endangerment if you took that video to Child Services. Children here have died from actions like hers, and people are up in arms about it.
This is insane. You did so, so well remaining calm. I cannot imagine what she would be like if she couldn't overtake a farm tractor on a country road- or a large lorry full of Volvo components or children's toys?
Makes me laugh how she is totally ignorant to the Highway Code and feels so entitled that everyone should do what she thinks and move out of here way, She then stops on the road, on a bend of all places causing an obstruction when there was a clear gap prior which would have been a safer and more considerate place to stop. Her own actions then start to distress her own children, who she was so concerned about, guess she’s not considering their feelings. She then proceeds to stop another car going in the opposite direction to rant about the cyclist creating a total obstruction blocking the road in both directions with no consideration for other drivers or road users. And then calls the police with her lame story of how rude this cyclist was “threatening” her in front of her children and it appears the police put her in her place, but again no consideration in wasting the polices time... So from someone who started by saying the cyclist was in the wrong and how inconsiderate he was - I really think this lady needs to watch this clip and take a look in the mirror to realise what a contradictory, privileged, self cantered, horrible human being she actually is... But she won’t, she will still think she is right and will be telling every poor sole all about it whether they want to listen or not, 🤷♂️
Surely she is not the Children's mother?? A good parent would not have carried on for so long and left the children distrait? Using her phone while driving, stopping other motorist who would not be aware of the TRUE situation. Bloody pathetic.

Send it to the police, the driver is a risk to other road users
Driving whilst using a mobile device and possibly without due care and attention.
and wasting police time making a 999 call
As if the police ever do anything
She is a risk to her own children. Using a mobile with them in the car. More concerned about confronting a cyclist, than the safety, or the mental health of her own children. She needs more than police intervention.
You cyclists are like babies. I've never met a group of weirdos like it.
My friend, I am a motorcyclist. I have met more that a few of these types. Last weekend - I kid you not - one of them nearly put us in a hedge - seriously! - then chased after us for about 2 miles. We were two up on an old east-block motorcycle (32 hP at best and being driven sedately) that could barely manage half the speed of her big German estate car. They all retreat when you stand firm. You stood your ground well, Friend. Salut !
When her children decide to go cycling how would she like other road users to treat them.
Spot on smithy
Exactly!
She probably wouldn't allow it outside the boundaries of a public park. Too dangerous, don't you know. Proper Karen vudeo.
Good point!
@@michellebyrom6551 Exactly. They'll be brought up to believe there's nothing more dangerous than cycling on a public road.
If that is the worst thing that happens to her she is doing pretty good. What a precious princess. All credit to the cyclist for keeping his cool and not swearing and shouting.
I agree with you, I would have called her all the names under the sun, then peddled off in to the sun set 😆

😂
😆 🤣 😂
"YOU are causing my children..." Another example of cluessness. I pity her kids.
Jesus how old are the children, they sound like they're about 10 and blabbering like babies! She's raised them right!
I pity her husband, if she (still) has one.
My ex was like this. Would scream at me and then accuse me of upsetting the kids by causing her to be enraged. This lady is very, very difficult to watch.
Is there a British word for "Karen" or do you call them "Karens" too?
She’s hilarious, I wonder if she calls the police when her children don’t put their toys away!
Or her toys away!
Superb !!
Love the way she starts the conversation with playing her "children card" as straight away that gives her a free pass to being a victim.what a bag of shit.
No, just when people in General do not Suck Up to her and do not give her the worship she feels entitled to!
No she doesn’t
Very well handled by the cyclist who kept his cool and remained civil throughout.
Civil? Putting his pathetic ego on display on TH-cam? I think not.
@@thisisnumber0 as a cyclist, using youtube as media to "display" who's wrong or right isnt egoistic at all. It's for people to know better how to handle such situations..
How long is Rye Lane? If it was long, I'd expect a little courtesy from the cyclist, the cyclist's video doesn't show properly the lead up to her initial overtake, was she tailgating him? I didn't hear the engine until the overtake, Cyclists should be afforded a safe journey and should be courteous to other road users. This day would have been a lot better had she just carried on or the cyclist shown some courtesy, it's easy to put a foot down and let someone past, 10 seconds and they are gone! but we don't know because we don't see the start of the video, just a speeded up section with no sound, why is that? I stopped watching as soon as she started having a go. He was obviously prepared for a confrontation.
@@lugsborro No it's not. Using TH-cam as a medium to show the world how you scored points is pure ego and attention seeking.
He should kept riding by. Stupid woman. Don't care. If he got her license, good
Just what makes this woman, as an individual, more important than the cyclist? The usual reason given is that she pays road tax, insurance etc however, the vast majority of adult cyclists also have a car and so also pay road tax etc etc and while cycling they are using up far less space on the road than a car driver while still paying their dues.
Wasting police operator’s time when they should be taking calls about crimes, obstructing the highway, using a mobile phone while driving, putting the cyclist and her children in danger. Should be prosecuted, fined and serve a driving ban.
Yea I with you their she need to obstructing the highway code 👍

womens should have no driving lisence
Let's think through this, a driver slows down to complain about a cyclist slowing her progress, then slows again to film him on her phone and to remonstrate again. Perhaps she should complain to the police that her ego has caused a serious delay in her journey.
How ridiculous! There were clear straight parts of the road where she could safely overtake the cyclist. You can’t expect to drive on rural roads and not expect other road users to be present, meaning you may need to patient and wait behind cyclists, horses, agricultural vehicles etc. I am not a cyclist but fully support you against this ignorant person

Thankfully, I can't imagine being married to it!
The actions of the woman should be an automatic sentence of anger management classes or 30 days suspension of license. I hate it when people are in such a hurry but have time to stop and argue.
Good work by the cyclist though both with patience and also like how he kept a huge distance there when off the bike so there was no ambiguity about any threatening stance. I think that's a really clever and important tactic in this type of situation. Remember, its very hard to win an argument with a smart person, buts its absolutely impossible to win one with a stupid person!
I was mainly thinking of Covid but as matter progressed it occurred to me I should also keep away to avoid any implication I was physically intimidating her. Didn’t stop her from implying I was, though. Vile behaviour

The covid thing makes sense of course but had the police turned up, your footage with that consistent distance would have been perfect.

What a silly woman..well done for remaining calm and considerate to her...it seems in today’s society if there isn’t a drama in their life..let’s create one😭
I came across this awhile ago, after pondering about it, it looks like the situation we get with cycle lanes. They tell us to used it, and then “I’m, sorry I’m going to park for a few minutes can you please use the road😵💫” btw you a better man than I am. 🚴♂️🌀
That pointless minute on the phone to the police could well have been the difference between a life being saved, or emergency services being a moment too late. What a piece of work.
It took them away from scrutinising at least two or three mean tweets... someone may have had their feelings hurt without getting a visit from constable plod while she ranted on.
A bike is like any other vehicle, pass when it is SAFE to do so.
Jane , yes , but it is also incumbent on cyclists , drivers of tractors and other slow moving vehicles to not needlessly obstruct other road users who wish to ( legally ) go faster . If there is not going to be a safe opportunity to pass within a reasonable time/distance , it is incumbent on the driver of the slower vehicle to stop if necessary to allow following traffic to pass .
@@derekheeps1244 to stop in a safe place, not just stop on a single lane carriageway, what was stopping the karen from parking off road in the layby instead of blocking a blind corner?
It isn't clear to me how long the car driver had been waiting to safely pass the cyclist. There may be nothing in the Highway Code requiring a cyclist to pull over, but I don't think riding within the law is a reason to show less consideration to the driver of a faster vehicle. While the car driver obviously handled the developing situation badly, the cyclist may also have shown poor judgement and missed opportunities to let her pass, because he felt "entitled" to hold the lane.
She was using her phone while driving, also driving on the wrong side of the road when she was arguing, parks half on the road when there was plenty of space on the left, calls 999 which is an emergency service, and ignored her children's crying,
I’m so happy someone is shaming these type of people online. Maybe someone who knows her will see this.

It's hardly ever about actually losing time. I believe it's some kind of reptile brain, might is right, psychological issue going on with these drivers. We need some serious research into it. It's costing peoples lives.

Well yeah. She had had to wait a little while (about 3 minutes, according to Strava) but the road is really winding too so even if I hadn't been there she's only have been doing 15mph or so.

If a tractor, horse rider, cyclist, whatever is moving slowly in front of you then you have to accept that they are other road users who are just entitled to use the road as you are. That’s what the law says. If you are moving slowly it is courteous to pull over and let held up traffic pass but not until it is convenient to do so. Only an entitled cow like this would expect another road user to pull off the road just so that she could sail through. There are more and more spoilt me-me-me drivers around, unfortunately.
I’m also a cyclist and also think the driver is an idiot but what you’ve said isn’t true.
The Highway Code section 133 explicitly instructs road users to give way to vehicles who want to overtake on single-track roads (the type of road this clip started on) in the same way they would give way to oncoming vehicles. To be clear: on single-track roads the faster vehicle has right of way. You have no right to obstruct a faster moving vehicle just because you’re in front of them.
The reason for this should be obvious but I’ll explain. Living and working in a rural area, far too often have I seen ignorant drivers monopolising single track roads and insisting as many as four cars wait behind them. Firstly this is very selfish but can also be dangerous when two of these queues meet each other or when an ambulance or fire engine needs to get past. This can force drivers to reverse around corners or force emergency vehicles to wait while the bottle neck is cleared - all because some drivers like you think their sense of entitlement is the same as the Highway Code.

Bit triggered are we!!! 99% of normal car drivers know there is more to this clip than a crazy woman, we pass cyclists on the road every day and I'm 100% sure she doesn't stop and rant at every bike she passes. There's obviously more to this than is shown here. Any body can cause a disagreement, video it, then edit the footage to selectively show themselves in a virtual 'im a victim' light. He clearly constructed this situation for views on TH-cam. Pathetic, shame that's all he's got in the world to try to be interesting and damn the TH-cam algorithm for sending out this shite
@@jameswalton8532 And most cyclists are injured and killed by idiots with your attitude! Not to say a (very) few cyclists aren't just as bad when it comes to pedestrians, but for too many drivers, if it ain't got three wheels or more, it's invisible! BIKES HAVE TO AVOID DRAINS, DRAIN COVERS AND CRAP IN THE CURB/GUTTER TOO, ASSWIPE!
@@squicker thank you for bringing your credentials up first, it tells me and others a LOT about your character. I too am a police trained advanced driver, a qualification I have to maintain on a 3 yearly basis. The difference being I don't seek to virtue signal to others about it but if you want a competition on driving prowess, bring it on!! I collect bottle tops and nail clippings (impressed) I am in no way defending the woman's action through my comments and I certainty dont promote wasting time and energy on insignificant unworthy selfish pathetic cyclists with a over inflated attitude towards their right of way on the highway and in MOST cases their arrogant attitude to car drivers. Any at least I've given you the opportunity to show off a little to your equally irrelevant cycling mates so you can thank me for that. Good luck with the supercars, I'm sooooooo jealous🤢
She's a dangerous driver. It wasn't as if you were going that slow. She probably speeds normally. Thank goodness for cycling cameras
Congrats on remaining calm & polite. Not sure I would have. I'd not have stopped though.
I wouldn't want a driver like that behind me. It's always easier to react to the idiot in front than the one behind.
I love the way that it's ok for her to block the road - 1st stopping an oncoming vehicle while arguing with you, then having another car stop next to her car, blocking the road, to complain about you.
Her time is sooo important.
If only some licenses were revoked upon proof of a lack of road antiquate, lack of due care for other road users, lack of understanding of the rules of the road or even the 'guide' (Highway Code) on how to use the roads safely.
A few licence removals and the roads would be much safer for all.
Please tell me she got charged.
Here in New Mexico, she’d be in deep shit for child endangerment if you took that video to Child Services. Children here have died from actions like hers, and people are up in arms about it.
This is insane. You did so, so well remaining calm. I cannot imagine what she would be like if she couldn't overtake a farm tractor on a country road- or a large lorry full of Volvo components or children's toys?
Makes me laugh how she is totally ignorant to the Highway Code and feels so entitled that everyone should do what she thinks and move out of here way,
She then stops on the road, on a bend of all places causing an obstruction when there was a clear gap prior which would have been a safer and more considerate place to stop.
Her own actions then start to distress her own children, who she was so concerned about, guess she’s not considering their feelings.
She then proceeds to stop another car going in the opposite direction to rant about the cyclist creating a total obstruction blocking the road in both directions with no consideration for other drivers or road users.
And then calls the police with her lame story of how rude this cyclist was “threatening” her in front of her children and it appears the police put her in her place, but again no consideration in wasting the polices time...
So from someone who started by saying the cyclist was in the wrong and how inconsiderate he was - I really think this lady needs to watch this clip and take a look in the mirror to realise what a contradictory, privileged, self cantered, horrible human being she actually is...
But she won’t, she will still think she is right and will be telling every poor sole all about it whether they want to listen or not, 🤷♂️
What a terrible mother.
Upsetting her kids takes priority over her kids welfare.
It's an ego thing. The need to be right all the time. Very sad.
What a loony, how did you stay so chilled?? Such a surreal situation.
Imagine being married to and having kids with THAT!
Surely she is not the Children's mother?? A good parent would not have carried on for so long and left the children distrait? Using her phone while driving, stopping other motorist who would not be aware of the TRUE situation. Bloody pathetic.
