Juanhein20 Posted April 27, 2016 Posted April 27, 2016 I saw this youtube video on a FACEBOOK post today. Hope they catch that driver, this is how they kill cyclist.We do our best to stay visible with added lights, clothing etc.Most of us have good cycling behaviour and are law abiding road users and then you get somebody with no regard for the law and other road users.
Joe Low Posted April 27, 2016 Posted April 27, 2016 Looks like a misjudgement by the 2nd car as the 1st one slows for no apparent reason & the cyclist overtakes the slowing car first. Doesnt help if that means the oncoming cyclist gets totalled.
dev null Posted April 27, 2016 Posted April 27, 2016 A cycling buddy that I follow on Strava posted this. He was the rider facing the oncoming car. EDIT: We actually met whilst paddling the surfski series. He is an all round fitness nut.
J∆kk∆ls Posted April 27, 2016 Posted April 27, 2016 What it looks like is a crossing of a solid white line. R1000 fine if caught so if you turn this in to the cops it can be used as evidence.
Pure Savage Posted April 27, 2016 Posted April 27, 2016 We also posted this link on twitter to some of the authorities. I hope the Chapmans peak management pick this up and chat to the guy who filmed it as there will be a time stamp on the dudes GPS and then you can search all the cars that went through the toll gate until you find a box in a Mercedes. They can then hand over the mug shot of said box and his number plate to the police. Boggles the mind, what on earth could be SO important to get to that you will risk your life, the person you are overtaking and other road users?

Simon123 Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 until you find a box in a Mercedes.Well, they'll be looking all year. The car over the white line is some piece of sh!t Geely or something like that.
KarlvN Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 I failed to notice the car overtaking bit. I was mesmerized by the rider's ability to peddle so damn fast up that hill...
Flowta Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 Well, they'll be looking all year. The car over the white line is some piece of **** Geely or something like that. Not sure what you're saying
Slowbee Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 landrovers have a way of pushing you over the edge

Yup, I agree, find the driver and make life as difficult as possible for him. Inform his insurance that he is a reckless idiot and suggest they force him to put an advanced tracker on his car and perhaps a dash cam also or refuse him insurance.
Pure Savage Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 same guy, different car? 13076834_10154254150202203_1319813701840011591_n.jpgThat was a high jacked car that ended up there, hence the smashed window. I reckon the police just rocked up, put it in hill assist and cruised out, no problem
