now there’s a video I would like to see.

This absolute nob jocky actually hit my car, but didn't realise till I stopped.
I know I shouldn't have undertaken but admittedly the red mist just got the better of me.

Geriatric old idiot with no lane discipline going into Newcastle airport the other day - I needed to be in the left hand lane to go into the garage for fuel and he needed to be in the right for the drop off point.

I saw him approaching from my left and saw his right hand headlight was on full beam (left was not on full) and of course it's broad daylight. Was gonna pull out after he passed.
He didn't indicate to turn off the main road into the junction where I was was waiting, but that's what he did as you can see, and you can see why he wasn't driving with full attention on the road or car, because he was to busy on his mobile.

Caught me up before the clip begins from a good way back this white golf... Ultimately, two things became apparent...

Moment of consternation....
Spoiler:
Ok, so here's one that's not quite a Dashcam but more a "Barcam".
Whilst cycling back from work on Sunday, I was involved in a collision with another vehicle. As I approached a junction ahead, you see two cars. One continues down towards me but the other, a Hyundai i20 whilst signalling to turn right stops. Assuming he has seen that I'm approaching, I continue at the same time concentrating on choosing the best line through the pot holes in the road. Just as I approach the potholes and junction, the driver makes his right turn manoeuvre leaving me with very little time to react. You can see I pull the brake hard (having already pulled the left one for the rear wheel of course). This wasn't enough to avoid the collision. His explanation was that he'd stopped to allow the girl who was more interested in her phone to cross the junction but had failed to look ahead once she had crossed.
A bloody carbon copy of the RTA I had 2 and a half years ago :/
Injuries aren't a great deal. Some bruising, road rash, and general pain in my shoulder, back and elbows (shock absorption injury), which I expect will give me months of problems like they did last time.
Driver has admitted liability and the attending police officer confirmed this on site. I would have just let this one slide to be honest but I now have two significantly damaged wheels (A set that cost me €1500, so about £1350) and potential hidden stress fractures in the carbon frame, so, solicitor is now on board and having reviewed the footage himself agrees I'm 100% not at fault thankfully. You do question yourself but at the end of the day, he pulled right across me :/

Ouch, glad you're OK Ian.
I know for a fact (as I too ride) that the video seems slower than real time, but I tell you what, you're braver than me trying to pick a line infront of that car, just the initial angle is enough to scare me into stopping.

Hopefully you'll be awarded a full new bike, but not being seriously injured is more important, and that you can still ride again. Just goes to show the value nowadays of dashcams and helmet cams.
