Careless Tailgater gets instant justice
Спорт
Some guy in a Honda CRV thought that it was ok to tailgate me, on my bicycle, while I was doing a sprint down the street. But luckily a cop saw him tailgating me, because I didn't see the tailgater until I turned around to look for the cop. Making me really pissed because the guy was pretty much skimming my rear tire at 30mph!! Here's a vlog that I made about this video. I uploaded it on my new channel.

Why is everyone saying that he should have moved over, or that he shouldn't be allowed on the road because he's slowing traffic, that guy was pushing 31-32 in a 30MPH street. That car should calm down and wait for his chance to pass if he's in such a big hurry. If you're going 30 in a 30 it's not your job to go out of your way to move for some impatient asshole, they can wait to pass.

***** You're going to have to prove that the speedometer is in kmh. It seems a bit unlikely since he passed two cars in the left lane going 20-30. If that was kmh, then the cars were doing less than 12-19 mph. But either way, that's no excuse for the other car to tailgate him. And that lane definitely isn't wide enough for a bike and a car at the same time.

Anyone who says bikes aren't cars has never cycled. as soon as you do you realize you can't get around safely without using the road. also, anyone who has biked on a path or sidewalk knows that people are actually in greater danger in this situation (especially on a sidewalk). I've run into people on bike paths because people just don't pay attention no matter where you go, so you might as well cycle with traffic.

A biker can't pedal faster than the driver of a car can press his pedal harder. Bikers are required to ride on the street and drivers have to go slower if they get caught behind them. What can a biker really do besides pedal faster? If he's already pedaling as fast as he can and is required to ride in the street? Score for the biker and the cop. The guy was wrong to tailgate a GUY ON A BICYCLE. No contest.

Paul Kennedy A bicycle is not a motor vehicle and even motorcyclists share lanes with cars so why can't bicyclists? As for space for both a bicycle and a car in the same lane, we are seeing the same preview pic aren't we? The one with the suv pulled over, the cop walking up beside it, and the bicycle passing them both riding near dead on the dotted line? And you say a bicycle wouldn't fit? And I should be mad, cyclists like that make the rest of them look bad and I used to be an avid bicycle rider. When I rode I knew what it meant to share the road and have respect, courtesy, responsibility for other road users. I was even appreciative of the fact that I got free use of the road while they had to pay licensing and tax to use it. So yeah I should be mad when they can't reciprocate good will because they are too busy being self-centered, high, and mighty. In parts of asia, bicycles are still the dominant mode of transportation and even they share the road better.

Killer2600 Nobody said a bicycle is a motor vehicle. I don't know why you mention it. When the cyclist is passing the police officer and the car he is riding at 3 mph. At that speed it is perfectly possible and perfectly safe (although he will need to have checked that the neighboring lane is free, because he is actially on that side of the dotted line). At 30 mph the lanes are not wide enough for vehicles side by side. That's why lanes on a street are wider than in a parking lot, why lanes on a main road are wider than that, and why freeway lanes are wider still. But you don't have to be a traffic engineer; commonsense will tell you that.
@killer2600

Paul Kennedy What makes you think it's not wide enough? Do roads narrow as speed increases to 30 mph? Yes, no one said a bike is a motor vehicle but I'm saying a road is for motor vehicles, hence why wheel chairs, segway's, and pedestrians are forbidden from walking/rolling down the middle of the street vs being on the side walk or off to the side in the cases where there is no sidewalk. Common sense would tell you bikes don't belong in the middle of the road where cars are.
I personally beileve that bikes shouldn't be on busy roads. this is a little different since he is able to keep up with traffic but when normal people are riding there bike at like 10 mph on a busy road that causes trouble. This guy in the honda was a idiot though, putting someone else in danger.

+DriftTek There's this myth that the Speed Limit is for some reason a Speed Minimum. Bikes are vehicles just as cars are, and have a right to the roadways to get from Point A to Point B just as any car does. The only restrictions on that are limited access freeways where bicycles are prohibited. Otherwise, they're no different than any other vehicle on the road. Especially a roadway like this, with two lanes going in the same direction, you just wait until you can change over to the left lane and pass safely, just as you would behind a slow moving car.

I have been known to have a problem with cyclists at times in the roadways admittedly. But in this case this cyclist was clearly not blocking traffic in any way. As a matter of fact, he was actually exceeding the speed limit by 5 to 7 miles per hour (which is okay of course as most people honestly do). I think the officer was fantastic for paying attention to the safety of a cyclist. Had the officer not been there this could have turned out to be quite a bad situation. Whoever this guy is, I'm glad he had a camera. And well done officer.

You seem to have a very healthy attitude. Most people online choose a side and defend it to the extreme. I do disagree with you on the speed limits. Just because everyone does it, it doesn't mean it is ok. I don't mind people speeding on highways, but it is extremely selfish and irresponsible to speed in urban areas, specially in areas with many pedestrians.

I cannot say that. In fact I used to purposely speed. I would always set my cruise control 5mph-10mph above the speed limit, except in school zones and 25mph residential zones. But as I grew older and thought about it more carefully, I started thinking that just because most people do it it doesn't mean its ok. More than 3400 people die everyday worldwide from car accidents. That is about one every 30 seconds. In most countries, including the US and Canada, car accidents are the main cause of death for people between 5 and 40 years old. And half the people who die were not driving. Speeding cars are endangering other people's lives just to get to the next traffic light a few seconds sooner.

From MANY years of observation, I've come to the conclusion that 99% of bike riders break EVERY traffic law there is. Stop sign? What's that....Red light? What's that....on and on. Time to regulate bikes like they do cars, and make them get insurance as well.

+Buckaroo543 Sadly, the stats don't back you up. There have been a multitude of studies conducted in cities all over the US and elsewhere that have shown that cyclists don't break laws any more than motorists do. The only difference is, when a cyclist breaks a law he nearly always puts only himself at risk. When a motorist breaks a law, his car can turn into a murderous weapon that can wipe out entire families in a blink of an eye. While yes, some scofflaw cyclists do blow through stop signs (I don't do it myself, and I don't condone the behavior) every single day outside my house I see cars blow through the stop sign at the corner of my block as well. I see motorist texting ALL THE TIME. Speeding, cutting people off, etc. The point is, people are people and there are some bad eggs in every subset. And, little known fact, nearly all homeowners and renters insurance policies cover cyclists just like how auto insurance covers motorists. So if you live in a dwelling, you have insurance.

Daily I see motorists running stop lights, cutting people off, speeding, and texting. Oh my god the texting. I have a unique vantage point on my bike and its very easy to see inside the cabin of all the cars near me. FUCKING EVERYBODY IS ON THEIR SMARTPHONES. I've been hit by motorists while I was biking lawfully because they didn't check their mirrors and plowed right into me. So sure, say "fuck them all" but cyclists are not all as you describe.

You only notice the ones who don't because they confirm your bias. Look up "confirmation bias". It's all about you. Cyclists don't have the carnage numbers to justify mandatory licensing or insurance. Motorists earned their requirement for licenses and insurance with their massive daily carnage. When cyclists are doing 0.01% as much damage to others as motorists are, then maybe we can revisit this. The real reason that you're so angry is that you think that the road is your territory and that cyclists are invading it. It's not your territory. People like you will sit in heavy traffic, stop and go for 20-30 minutes and just accept it but if a cyclist so much as causes you to have to change lanes you lose your mind. You're childish, territorial and self entitled. Cyclists are legally entitled to travel on the road. It's not that tough to share. Grow up and get over it.

Let me get this straight. A cop was tailgating you and that forced you to tailgate someone else. WTF? That is not the smartest thing I have ever read online. "Officer, I had to break the law because someone behind me was breaking the law." Did you get a ticket? Did you use the same excuse to the judge in court? When tailgated, slow down, move over into the right lane (if possible) and pull over to let the guy pass. That is all you had to do. I got pulled over for tailgating a state police car! LOL. I was a STUPID teenager and the cop just gave me a warning. He let me off with a warning because I was courteous and didn't give him any crap. Later when I was old enough to know better, I got a ticket for tailgating a guy in a small town. I was late for a business meeting and I was tailgating. The cop saw it and pulled me over. He was right to do so and I told him so. I later visited the cop in his office (he was the police chief actually) and he agreed to reduce the fine. He didn't have to do that but I didn't try to lie, argue, or be an ass to him. I thanked him and wished him well and I think well of him now.
I still remember when I was a kid, if I rode my bike in the street my parents would have whooped the fuck out of me. It's for cars, unless there is a MARKED bike lane. Keep that shit on the sidewalk/bike paths where it belongs. Dude's still a dick and got what he deserved, though. Go around him...not that difficult in a car.

The 'close pass' law in my state is three feet. Instead of hoping a motorist will obey that. I use the three feet to the curb, as a 'fallback zone', if a motorist unnerves me.

Where was the room for him to ride on the right side of lane?

What? The cyclist has explained there was debris and potholes further right, doing so would have damaged his bike. You can tell at times he stays a little left but well within the lane. He did absolutely nothing wrong. He was also going the speed limit, and at times 3+ over the limit, and was also in the slow/right lane. The car had zero reason to tail gate him. If you were a real cyclist you would understand that you SHARE THE ROAD.

You sir, are not a cyclist. There was an empty lane to the left where the car could have passed the cyclist at any time.
dammit boy that cop is doing his duty... thank you for what your doing for the community
cool cop. 'want me to do something about it?' and damn dude, you were going fast man, why would a driver in a car be such an ass.
People who cycle in the US have serious balls. Everyone in the US that drives is insane

Not everyone who drives is nuts, but your statement is nuts. I have to say though, I'd be scared to death to road bike in USA, the texting drivers are the worst and there are road ragers who hate everyone and would love to kill a road biker.

I have spent some time in India so your powers of judgment need some tweaking. LOL. My GF lives in Indonesia and her videos are pretty telling..........I warn her about riding the motorbike taxis but to no avail. I wouldn't ride a motorbike or bicycle in India or Indonesia either. From what I know of those places, your "Mad Max" comparison is accurate and life is very cheap.

Not everyone who wants to hit a cyclist is a road rager, just people who have their mind blown at some idiot riding their bike in the street 5-10mph in a 30mph street filled with traffic and believe in karma.

It's born from the fact that most cyclists think they can have their cake and eat it too. They need to either be designated as a pedestrian or a motorist. Instead they choose whichever label suits them at the time. They won't follow basic traffic laws like stopping at red lights or stop signs, but then they'll expect to be able to ride in the middle of a road or get special protection from tailgaters like in this video. EDIT: Forgot to mention that while they claim the right to travel the roads like a motorist, they won't register their "vehicles".

Bicycles do not "choose whatever label suits them." What you are describing is the consequence of federal guidelines for how bicycles are integrated into the system. They are classified as vehicles, and thus required to behave like cars, but they don't work like cars. There is *literally* no way to avoid this. A great deal of the "bad behavior" you are observing could be better described as bad street design. The crappy street design is also municipalities following state regulations, which in turn must comply with federal guidelines.
We need cops like him in Houston Texas. Kudos to that cop
I’m glad that person got a ticket He deserved that ticket For not caring about tailgating other ppl 😁😁😁
What kind of moron tailgates a bike? That's freaking dangerous. If the biker had accidentally hit a rock and taken a fall, he/she surely would get run over by the vehicle tailgating. Fine the fool $500. I mean it. $50 won't teach him anything. Make sure his wallet feels the pain. A lot of people ride mountain bikes in my city in the morning on weekends. I always slowly drive around them to AVOID getting too close to them. This guy was clearly doing it on purpose. I hate people who think PUBLIC roads are only for themselves and nobody else.

+largol33t1 I don't cycle, but my daily commute is a moped. Glorious top speed of 49mph. Trucks and SUVs are always trying to kill me on a daily basis. Tailgating, brake checking, trying to run me off the road, you name it.

+largol33t1 What kind of moron rides a bike on a public road made for motorized vehicles. The fact cars should have to adjust their speed, perception, awareness or behavior to accommodate mode of transport that shouldn't even be on the road to begin with(because it gets the full benefits without contributing any thing to the operation or use of that road), is ludicrous and fucking idiots like you who condone it are even more ludicrous.

Good to see that from a police officer.
Lmao love the interaction between the cop and the driver 🤣🤣
I had a similar situation a few years ago. I took care of it myself. Without going into details, the guy ended up frantically speeding to make sure I didn't catch up with him again. Satisfying.
Plot twist: The bicyclist goes out on a date with the cop 2 weeks later.

That Police Officer is a legend,my utmost respect to him.
I'm not a big fan of cops, but this one is a rockstar. "I just want you to know I care" is a resounding statement, and one not heard often these days.
It’s great to see a good cop get some KZread time for a change . Most are but the few, the bad and the ugly seem to get all Tube time. Thanks for sharing
