Warning: The video contains strong language.
When a car got too close to a cyclist when overtaking, the cyclist decided to confront the motorist about it. To say that the driver of the Peugeot 405 loses the plot is putting it mildly.
The driver leans out of the window (with his seat belt off) shouting abuse at the cyclist, pointing out amongst other things, that the cyclist has no insurance.
The cyclist doesn’t back down though, and the driver just gets angrier and angrier. He then decides to chase the cyclist down the street, and the footage from the rear view camera is some of the funniest we’ve seen in a long time.
The video was posted yesterday by a Youtube user named uphillfreewheeler.
Brilliant!
Brilliant!
I dont see the value in chasing after someone who gets too close to you. I understand it winds people up, as it does me, but chasing after them just antagonises the situation

Very understandable reaction from the guy on the bicycle to being over-taken very closely. I’m not convinced though that the entire interaction is going to do much for harmonising cyclist-driver relations…

Agreed. It’s fair enough if say he’d caught him up at the lights, but to chase after him? Life is too short for that. Send the video to the police, let them deal with it.

Great picture.

Two twats if you ask me and if this guy was a cyclist in Manhattan he would spend his whole day upset and chasing down motorists!!!

Serves him right. Hope he broke his glasses in that fall.
Fat fucker
Eric Barry this is what’ll happen to you!

I watched it with the sound down so cannot comment fairly, but I laughed so hard when he fell over.
I would have gone back to point and laugh!
On a serious note, having a shout up will eventually lead to a punch up.
Losing your rag will end in tears, but sometimes you have to fight your corner otherwise drivers will keep on doing it.
It is better to educate.
muppett lol
That worked out really well! I’m all for letting someone know they almost killed me. The police generally dont give a crap about close calls but it is vitally important the driver knows he can’t get away with nearly killing cyclists.
Karma at its finest.though the cyclist didn’t have to chase after the dude in the car.
But still it was good to see the fatass fall on his fatass(and head)
I bet that’s the furthest that fat git has run
Hahaha am after wetting myself with the laughter. Karma got him straight away
Funniest thing I’ve seen in ages !!
Only fell because he tried to kick out whilst running. Obviously not an ex footballer 🙂 No sympathy for him, he deliberately tried to injure the cyclist.
Love it,shared it.
A clown takes a pratfall!! Has to be the best name for a video ever! Well done
The police could care less if you are squashed. It is always the cyclist’s fault to them. They don’t even take the information of the driver if he stays at the scene leaving the family’s without recourse. Years ago I saw a lady get doored by a plumbers van then get run over as she lay in the street. No information was taken.
Nice shot!
Might have found this more amusing if cyclists stopped being arseholes where I live. Ignoring traffic lights, cycling on the pavement etc
Let’s not forget drivers using phones while operating a machine that has power to kill people and speeding regularly. And pedestrians walking out in front of traffic expecting them to stop. All road users break the law when it’s convenient for them that’s just a fact of life.
Fair point Warren Upperton, if cyclists want to be treated fairly then they should follow the rules themselves.
I’ve cycled over 100 miles this week and had about 5 drivers cut us up, one quite badly.

That’s what I call “a happy ending”.
Looked like a perfect three foot pass to me. Both dudes need to chill out.

Wow this is brilliant. So much fuss when just a smidgen of patience would’ve provided a drama free day.
I how the cyclist passed that footage on to the police. I can imagine that they would do anything but at least they would have a good laugh at a fat idiot face planting!!!!

Ha ha that is hilarious. The cyclist was winding him up to be fair but that is just brilliant
