    close call at 2:50 on the clip.....

    Drivers should be"Bike Aware".but with no disrespect intended to either party,I for one would not be "showboating" near such a siding for this exact reason! This is the kind of clips I saw on the police bikesafe course. Ride safe out there!

    100% riders fault. How far away was the bend he'd just come around? 150m. I'd put the riders speed at about 60mph which would give the van driver about 4 seconds to see him and react, to avoid a collision, which he did.

    This sort of thing is the fastest way to get a bike night shut down.

    Way way way way way too fast for that bit of road. Complete knob, no sympathy for them.

    this is similar to what happened to me but mine was a stupid driver, riding in convoy, a driver pulled out right between us, panicked and just stopped in the road but further across than the van was, had no other choice but to go down or hit oncoming traffic. admittedly i was speeding, but only 40 in a 30 but had nowhere near the notice this guy got.

    ride like an idiot and expect to crash simples
