Keltbray employ maniacs

Can I also add that the junction is question is appalling. No excuses for the piss poor driving but I've seen many a vehicle shoot straight across those giveaway lines. The traffic light phasing/position before the junction seems to encourage drivers to floor the gas pedal

That would be worth it just to see one going up the hill in Greenwich Park - I've never seen one up the hill. Ok, meet at Island Gardens (on DLR) and I'll pay for the bike. Pick a time.

It's amazing that in the most heavily policed and CCTV area in the whole of the UK drivers think they can drive like that

I have posted this on the thread about finchley incident .

Have asked my H&S board director to arrange a meeting with Keltbray MD to discuss his companies poor driving standards and what he intends to do about it.
I could do with all the keltbray youtube stuff being collated to present to him.

amazing what you can do if you want to.

anybody can write to Keltbray and complain.

A cyclist is injured after colliding with a construction lorry owned by the same firm involved in the death of a rider three months ago.
The woman was taken to hospital with a suspected broken ankle after becoming trapped between the Keltbray lorry and a metal railing opposite Borough Tube station, at the junction of Borough High Street and Great Dover Street.
It is the latest serious crash involving construction lorries in the London Bridge area, where the 310-metre high Shard tower is being built within a new commercial development.
A Keltbray tipper-truck was involved in a crash that killed Muhammad "Haris" Ahmed, a 21-year-old King's College medical student, in March.
Scotland Yard said the 26-year-old HGV driver is on bail while enquiries continue. Cyclists' websites have been inundated with concerns about the number of HGVs in the area.
The firm, which has worked with the Met police and Transport for London on improving driver awareness of cyclists, is the UK's largest demolition contractor and is closely involved in the Shard project.

F!
Actually the most shocking thing about that video is that none of the motorbikes were in the ASZ!!
I get the distinct impression that the driver didn't think they had done anything wrong.
