You strike me as the type of person who lures other guys into trouble by pushing all their buttons for then to be ready with a camera and 911. Hell, I'd bet you do that in traffic too all the time - expert in making other people look worse than they are, so you come out extra shiny and virtous - but really it's you who end up creating half of your so-called near-accidents, i'm sure.
Can you explain your comment? What exactly does Adrian do that might 'push their buttons' or make 'people look worse than they are'. From what I can see in the video, Adrian's riding is textbook following guidance given in the highway code and Bikeability courses. He rides in secondary posiiton (at a sensible 1m approx. distance from the kerb) and outside the door zone when passing parked cars, which allows vehicles to overtake when there is no oncoming traffic. He moves to primary position (centre of lane) approaching the pelican crossing and roundabout to indicate to the following driver that it's not a safe place to overtake. The driver chose to ignore this though overtaking on the pelican crossing zigzag lines. I agree that this wasn't a near accident, but Adrian doesn't claim that it was. However, the driver clearly breaches the highway code rules which are there for all road users' safety.
Really? That's all?
Give me a break man
What do you estimate the distance was from the black VW was to me?
@@DorsetSaferRoads
Did he hit you?
No. (?)
@@tacituskilgore3246 again... What distance do you estimate they were away from me?
@@DorsetSaferRoads
1 meter to 1,5 meter. What's the problem?

What's your estimate? What's your point?

nah, I just ride according to the rules, not my fault others decide to ignore those same rules.

You play by the rules? So what happened to my last comment that I can't find here anymore?
i wouldn't trust you for a second, no matter how much you "play by the rules".
