So he has seen one cyclist riding dangerously, so he should assume
another will
be along shortly to carry out the same manoeuvre?


He should realise his original mistake in not checking properly, stop
and check his mirrors before continuing.

The only thing I'm not sure of is if he had enough time to react to the
first cyclist.


If he did that he would have no time to do anything else.


If he can't signal properly and check his mirrors he really shouldn't be
driving at all.


If a cyclist can see ahead then he shouldn't be cycling. Perhaps cyclist
should also have mirrors?

Perhaps bikes should have compulsory MOTs to check if the brakes work?
