I was driving and coming to double roundabout and I was looking for pedestrians on the zebra crossing and out of nowhere the cyclists just went in the front of me without looking.

It's a shame that's some cyclists do that and risking their lives and others and I wonder when it will be strict rules for them just to put them in a safe place and for our safety too.

I personally don't have a problem with cyclists but I just dislike their careless and making such a manoeuvre and they just expect us to stop without thinking if we going to see them in the first place.

I hope this video will educate some cyclists out there and be more careful and ride safely.

Watch the vid below

Holy crap are those confusing roads with ziggy lines and traffic circles...you couldn't pay me to walk across the street there, BE SAFE!!!
Lol tell me about it. I appreciate it

Were you drunk? Why on the wrong side of the road? Tee-hee.
We are driving on the right side of the road lmao

Traffic circles are great. Just scream and floor it. It usually works out okay.
Hahaha thanks for the advice and I'll try it and record it to show you the result lmao

I know you're from across the pond, but how in the hell are the parked vehicles facing the opposite direction of traffic? At the end of the video the parked vehicles on your left are facing you. Is this a reversible lane you're driving in (meaning certain times of the day traffic direction is one way and other times the direction of traffic goes the opposite way)?

Sorry for that.
I'm hoping people educate from it as a driver to expect the unexpected and to the riders to think million time before endanger theirslves and others on the road.

Trust me I have nightmares from this kind of things and I'm just hoping learns from it and be more careful on the road.

Not in the UK.
You can park it the other way as long there isn't a fence or a pavement in the middle of the street and if there is it will make you driving the wrong way.

Those roads called B roads which they are inside road not main roads and the main roads called A roads
so usual no fence or pavement on B roads just in some cases.
Main roads A roads always fence or pavement.
Inside roads B roads no fence or pavement but a lot of traffic lights and roundabout and zebra crossing and drunk people in the middle of the streets on weekends lol.

Check this vid wrong way on roundabout lol

Lol mad man

I won't hit a bird man lol I'll always stop as long I can.

I used to ride a motorcycle and I know one hit and you gone and that's why I quit because I have family now and my life doesn't belong to me anymore and I have to look after the little one:)

But it was good one lol

That's nothing, I hit a cyclist earlier this year, the bastard did more damage to my car than his bones. ($2000 Damage to my car)
he got up and fled the scene, he was going against traffic.

Uber gave me a badge.. "Congratulations, you hit a cyclist". I guess that's a level up.

How fast were you going?
I agree that the cyclist jumped out, but maybe they took a chance. I was expecting a closer call than this. Seems hyped up.
20-25 mph and they can take chances as much he like but why should I live with this nightmare. I respect cyclists but they just need to pay more attention to be in a safe side and we don't have restrict rules for them and because of that they cut red light and jump in from of the cars like the one in my vid so I think they should fine them as they're driving and if you don't have a driving licence they should band him/her if they're dangerous riders.

That's what I think :)

We have those cyclists in downtown Chicago also.

Seems like their lifelong ambition is to die as a hood ornament .
Trust me lol

Dude, your dash cam quality is fantastic.
Yeah it's 2k quality

How do I get one of those badges? I have 3 "You hit a pedestrian!" badges, but thats not the same thing.
