Video – Cyclist uses video to combat wreckless driving…

Helmet-cam captures wreckless driving and ensuing argument.

On the day that Transport for London (TfL) called for action from construction and demolition companies to reduce the risk to cyclists on London’s roads, this shocking video underlines precisely what the unprotected cyclist has to contend with on the capital’s streets.

A cyclist using a helmet cam captures in detail the moment that he is raced to an intersection and effectively “cut-up” by a skip lorry from City Services. The helmet-mounted camera also captures the ensuing argument in which an unrepentant truck driver shows little remorse for his actions.

TfL also wants to see construction lorries fitted as standard with cycle-specific safety equipment like side bars and blind-spot mirrors.
