This is going to be fun, as we already know the public jury is split in the decision, so let's put this into perspective with some misconceptions and the highway code, that thing that all road users should be adhering to but dont-
'Undertaking is illegal'
No, no it's not!
Cyclists AND motorcyclists can pass on the left
When any vehicle is turning left you are to check for Undertaking cyclists and motorcyclists.
The flip side to all this is that if a vehicle is indicating to turn left then you must not undertake
Simples, right?
Well unfortunately as this video shows fucking pricks are incapable of using indicators adequately, and/or making very bad and dangerous last second maneuvers!
Let's change this to something 99% of us do,
Filter
Why do we filter?
Because we are allowed to!
Is it safe to do so?
No, not in the slightest!
Why?
Because cunts don't look or signal adequately
If this video showed a motorbike filtering and the taxi pulling into a gap in traffic on the left using the same piss poor signalling and observations hitting the bike would you still blame the motorbike? It's the same manoeuvre after all and the motorbike is doing something he is allowed to do, as is the cyclist in the video!
That being said we all have a duty of care to ourselves then to others, if you ride with no self preservation and no care for the dangers immediately around then this is going to happen more than once!
