Mirror, signal, maneuver. Why signal when there's a cyclist right behind you? Then again the cyclist should've anticipated the taxis possible next move. But definitely the taxi drivers fault for not checking he's mirrors.
-
Lol the taxi driver was indicating, cyclist shouldn't have assumed he'd just let him pass.
-
the biker was under taking while not slowing down near a junction. not paying attention to taxi preparing to turn
-
I ride a bike ..I have no problem with cars ...maybe because I realise they can kill me :-)
-
They are both in the wrong
-
Both should have paid attention... , the cyclist should have seen, there is a taxi... that is signal for turning and he should have slow down and the taxi driver should have looked in the side mirror before turning...
-
It was the cyclists fault. However, if the rules are reversed, people would say the cyclist should have looked before turning left. The taxi should have checked his mirror before turning left too.
-
the taxi was indicating??? cyclists fault
-
the title os wrong, should be "the fucking moron cyclist hit a London Taxi"
-
Be better if he went over the guys head!
-
Them cyclists are very brave, luckily this one seemed to know he was making a illegal manoeuvre.The taxi driver could have been a prick and lectured him on the rules of the road and driving laws.

That's what you get for cutting inside
-
If you're stupid enough to cycle through one of the busiest cities on earth in rush hour with no knowledge of the rules of the road then you deserve to be run over! Don't blame everyone else when you're cyclist friends get squashed on the roads, it's you're own fault for being a dumb ignorant cunt! ....fucking two wheeled cunt whores!
-
It's bad enough not to use mirrors during a maneuver but in case of a professional who spends hours on the road... that's even worse
-
Taxi driver turns and indicates virtually at the same time.
Told not to do that when I was taught to drive.
Use of mirrors also seems to be lacking.
Mind I do think all these cyclists tearing around do make it more challenging for the driver nowadays.
Drove for over 20 years without a scratch and then wiped out by a taxi driver when cycling (to keep fit)home from work.
Maybe a dont like taxi drivers -
Fucking idiot cyclist. Cyclists should have to take a test like cars and motorcycles

Love the respectfulness at the end, Cyclist knew he was at fault but equally the taxi man didnt come out raging like most. Calm down people.
-
dumb cyclist.. too bad he didn't die.

amazing how dumb people are thats why this happens to begin with. if you are stupid enough to undertake a vehicle at a junction you deserve hitting you off you absolute nob end.
