Watch the video. It's not difficult.

I did watch it. I was curious as to what "you people" meant.

"you people"

Radio presenters.

But a service I really wish youtube would offer is the ability for viewers (rather than up loaders) to switch off comments for the entire site.

I think Mr Woppit's comment was based on the woman's use of "I'm sick of [u]you lot[/u]", tarring all people on bikes with the same brush.

Oh well, that's all right then.

Should you be mown down deliberately by someone who doesn't like you, balance will be restored to the universe.

You think that there's balance in the universe!

What harm was done to Vine? He was spouting off about having to ride 3 feet from a car. There's no rule or law that says that. He's just a bell end spouting the same sort of crap in real life as he does on the radio.

there is guidence saying you should do that - The Highway code says "Leave plenty of room when passing parked vehicles and watch out for doors."

"There's no rule or law that says that."

There's the rule of ****ing Common Sense though!

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/bike-blog/2012/jul/24/cyclists-threat-parked-cars

"In London in 2007 cyclists swerving to avoid car doors accounted for 8% of cyclists who were killed or seriously injured. This year a Beckenham cyclist died from head injuries after hitting a car door, the latest of three cyclists to die in London of dooring injuries since 2010."

I ride a minimum 1m or so from any parked car. If some selfish impatient **** behind me can't overtake safely, then **** 'em. They can wait. My safety is far more important than anything else in their lives.

What planet are you on? Bet you'd be the first to whine if someone on a bike scratched your door after being squeezed against it by a passing car.

Yep. In fact, if some impatient **** in a car starts ranting/beeping at me due to my road positioning, it potentially means I've just saved my own life because they wanted to do something dangerous.

There's no harm to you when you don't listen to him on the wireless, yet here you are, banging on about how he's in the wrong.

I know you are trying to be a funny troll, but it's a bit wearing for normal people.

Yeah, the car is showing as insured on the MID database

More than an element of truth in that!

And now that **** Clarkson has accused Vine of being 'selfish'.

"http://road.cc/content/news/203498-clarkson-accuses-jeremy-vine-selfish-cycling-while-driver-who-kicked-him-says"

Yes. Jeremy Clarkson, accusing someone else of being selfish. It's actually quite surreal. 😆

Found Clarkson's comments quite amusing...

“But hang on a minute, Vine. How did you know that the woman in the car behind wasn’t rushing to see her injured child in hospital? How did you know there wasn’t a pregnant girl on the back seat who was about to give birth.

He seems to be suggesting that the application of the usual rules of the road are subject to your personal circumstances 🙂

I guess it's usually not ok to physically assault someone... but if you've had a long hard day and you can't get a hot meal from the hotel kitchen then it's fine 😉
