Does this go for other "prats" too? So, for example, if I'm driving and someone pulls out on me, I can just drive in to them because they didn't look?

You mean how it di
You think that is the same as an idiot doing a wheelie between your car and a truck? There is no comparison. Your example could be a genuine accident.

I did not say it was the drivers fault.i origanally said they should both be prosecuted.

The cyclist is doing wheelies on a busy road whilst not wearing a helmet, wearing earphones and going for a gap between a 1.5tonne car and a 25+ tonne articulted lorry.
Utter moron of the highest order, combined with a sense of entitlement whereby everybody but himself is responsible for his safety.
No problem whatsoever with the actions of the Merc driver, pity the cylist didnt break a few ribs to knock some sense into that empty vessel that occupies the space on top of his neck.
Only problem is should there have been death or injury the Merc driver would have been the one in the dock.

Well that seems to be what a few people on here would do.

it all depends on if you have an option, if you can brake or swerve safely to avoid an accident, to me the driver did himself no favours, he knew what he was doing by making sure the cyclist had nowhere to go, I believe he probably thought the cyclist would get penned in.
What do I think which was the original question, both of them are prats & it could have ended so much worse.
Driver probably saw a certain CH5 documentary, and thought..... scourge alert, i'll av him.
Could have ended badly for the cyclist or the driver, cyclist badly injured or driver getting attacked by group of youths. When you enter into this confrontation on the roads, you never know how it may end up.

Guy on the bike was a complete eejit and he couldn't handle it because it was his own screw up, when people fcukup like that they should at least hold their hands up, and say they've been a bit of a knob.

There is a big difference with the case in the OP, the guy on the bike may or may not have looked, he just didn't give a flying fcuk and carried on, that sort of behaviour doesn't endear you to other people, you can't act like a twat and expect everyone else around to do the right thing so that you're okay.

If you look at the lad's channel, you'll see they are riding like idiots everywhere, forcing cars to stop or swerve, was only a matter of time until they bumped into another idiot in a car.

Quite a few BMXs don't have front brakes. A Haro I bought here didn't have one but the scissors type on the back are very powerful, plus if he's riding mostly o the back wheel it's of little use

That might be the only thing that will slow them up.

It's a legal requirement in the UK I believe, all the BMX bikes I've seen have collar brakesQuite a few BMXs don't have front brakes. A Haro I bought here didn't have one but the scissors type on the back are very powerful, plus if he's riding mostly o the back wheel it's of little use
