Incidents like that are belittled by people like Jackson who go out
with their helmet cams looking for trouble.


riding faster than the conditions dictate and probably no signal, both
cyclist and car at fault.



What a load of bull, the conditions couldn't have been much better,
bright clear day, dry road, nothing in front of him, probably nothing
behind.

The cyclist was already level with the mini-roundabout when the car
crossed the line, so no time for 'signalling', whatever signal means
your taking the second exit, and no time to slow down.

Why must you always lay part of the blame on the innocent party just
because they don't have an engine?

That motorist was either not paying attention and didn't see the cyclist
or somehow assumed the cyclist was taking the 1st exit without bothering
to signal.

The driver of the black car on the other side of the road pulled out
because he was expecting him to give way to the cyclist.

100% the drivers fault.
