Drivers taking to the pavement to avoid roadworks confronted by cyclist in angry video
A heated exchange between and cyclist and a driver on the pavement has been caught on camera.
The cyclist’s headcam footage shows him coming across a white van, which is avoiding roadworks by taking to the pavement.
“You seem to be driving on the pavement!” shouts the cyclist.
He turns to see another car which is attempting the same thing.
Swearing and shouting ensues, with the cyclist calling, “I’m not letting you through! This is a pavement, not a road.”
The driver insists: “There are a lot of people driving on the pavement. Do you make the rules for life?”
A local woman joins in, saying; “Our kids play here. You could kill our kids. This is the sixth car in about ten minutes.”
The driver returns to the scene, saying: “Get a life” to the pair, before heading back to the car, as the cyclist informs him he has been caught on camera.
“Well done,” praises the local woman as the film ends.

Does anyone have the KSI stats for penny farthings for the last 5 years, I suspect they are lower than for these so called Safety bicycles!

No, that's very doubtful while proper testing would be fully destructive.

I spit on everyone. I drive where I want.
Stop A Douchebag
The parked car is gradually taking over the pavements in my village, so the moving car is the next step along the way in a world where there’s no hope of any enforcement.
So well done that man for taking a stand.
Minor fcukwittery compared with the lady in the Merc I encountered last week. She had taken to the cycle path to avoid a long stretch of roadworks and was crawling along with the wheels in the mud either side of the path. I was not happy to be stuck behind her and eventually had to tell her to stop, dismount, walk around her car thru the deep mud and continue on my way.
Some people don't have the brains they were born with, which is ok, but don't let those people operate dangerous machinery!
I suppose if she had been driving an Audi she would have been speeding too, so I'm grateful for small mercies at least.
lol @ don.
/hat
I am quite glad the woman was there and made the driver hopefullly realise how much of a jerk he was and realise that his 'everyone is doing it' is affecting lives.
I'm always amazed how people can be SO WRONG and yet can't see it.
I thinks it's the "you're not the boss of me!" effect...
They know it. They're just publically testing out which lie/argument they can make that meets the least resistance.
I tried to watch the video, and the page auto-scrolled to auto-start video ads with sound, twice. I know road.cc has been trying to do something about this, but it is having precisely no effect. If anything the problem is getting worse, and happening on every single page of the site.
Use Chrome and the extension Adguard Adblocker - problem solved.
I know they can get images etc of a lot of things now, but can you really get footage of a headache?
Ever met a nice South African? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NTcndxuwOA
I’ll be honest, I would’ve driven across the pavement myself. The difference is, if someone had called me on it, I would’ve admitted I was a bit out of order doing it and not been such a prick!
"The cyclist’s headache footage shows him coming across a white van" . . . Erm, his WHAT showshim coming across a van ?
Pervert!
I suggest you learn that the different meanings of the word you are implying have different spellings too.
I suggest you get a sense of humour... Trust me, I'm pretty shit hot on words and spellings. Pretty good on grammer too. Not too bad at winding folks up either. Que tengas un buen tarde noche!
Grammer?
Sucker!
Got another one...
Now I am torn; I know the video will just be idiots shouting and I don't want to get angry at a virtual idiot for something he hasn't done to me; but my FOMO makes me want to watch it anyway. #21stCenturyProblems
Was that an Audi?
Of course. And a red-neck scaffolder's white pick-up vee-hickle, always a good bet for nasty agrerssive driving. They usually have names like "Animal", "Thurderbastard", "Widowmaker" or "Reign of Terror" on the side.
Hope he wasn't cycling on the pavement!!!
He wasn't
