I hate cunts on bikes, cyclists I respect but cunts on bikes are vermin. We're only seeing the cunt on a bikes edited version of events in this video. Inanyways, the bike knob crashed into the car from what I can see.
-
Any more vids Tom ?

Taxi driver hit the cyclist.... Usin his car as a weapon
-
a shut mouth catches no flies.
-
Taxi driver is bolloxed...39kmh on a bike is fast..I wonder if he was going faster before the video was edited?.I found another video where he just falls on his own though.His tyres are probably great for going fast but useless on our shit roads.It is annoying when they take up the whole lane.Hopefully he'll get enough compo to buy a moped.

Obviously a very edited video, but still 'n all the Taxi driver was in the wrong and the cyclist will most likely get his court insurance payday and Fook up the Taxi drivers insurance premium fer the next 5 years.
Firstly; Why was the Taxi driver so outraged ? (Unseen footage from earlier ??).
Secondly; The Taxi driver only crossed the cycle lane by a few inches, the cyclist could have avoided him if'n he has wished, but instead he went fer the Crash insurance Payday option.
And Lastly; When the cyclist First fell, he immediately called fer an ambulance, but on seeing the Taxi driver moving off he wasn't long getting to his feet and following him on his bicycle, and to me being no expert in injuries, he didn't seem too injured to me.
-
looking at it taxi deliberately steered twords him .I wouldnt like to try and explain that to a judge ,you could be off the road for years for that kind of driving .Only thing in his favour is if the original film has been deleted and altered it might not be admissible in court .
-
That video is getting 300+ views an hour...I'd say the bike warriors will be marching on his gaff by the end of the day.No doubt Ross will have something to say too.Probably better going into the cop shop before they come knocking for him.One less.
-
435 guests....Facebook must be going nuts.
-
I suppose that's what happens when someone loses their shit and decides to use their car as a weapon :-\
Ah well sure, one less taxi on the road.
-
Hard to tell from that video if the taxi driver was trying to avoid something when he swerved?
-
435 guests....Facebook must be going nuts.
....and Twitter!!
Would love to know what preceeded the incident of complete stupidity....sometimes you just have to bite your lip on some occasions and put your hands up and apologise with others....on both sides!!
-

lol good one, both times he swerved into the cyclist's path? And if you watched it on something other than your phone you'd see that the road is perfectly clear.

Actually there's a link to here from the comments section in the Journal.ie.Welcome guests we love cyclists on here.Some of us are cyclists too.
-
If it was deliberate the reason for that crash has been well deleted.
-
Actually there's a link to here from the comments section in the Journal.ie.Welcome guests we love cyclists on here.Some of us are cyclists too.
Just checked that out......most of the comments there seem to think that our comments are supportive of the driver.
-
I suppose we've all learned something here today folks...if yer gonna hit a cyclist make sure to go back and get the camera evidence and destroy it..
-
Driver probably has PTSD from dealing with rickshaws ;D
-
But seriously I like cyclists..even if they don't like us.Many of us are former couriers and have had to deal with shite car drivers in the past.Back when I was a bicycle courier I'd never have done the same stunts I see commuters trying everyday of the week.They need to ride a bit more defensively.Steaming along at 40km isnt gonna end well with racing tyres and limited visibility.
Taxi driver was a wanker but calling him names was never gonna end well.Too many loopers trying to ruin yer day.
-
Just when we thought the public couldn`t detest us any more, Dermot has to go and upend a cyclist ! No wonder me arse is in two halves !!

Just like the teachers and accountant involved in the fracas in McGowans....the hatred teachers and accountants must be feeling must be overwhelming!
-
Teachers and accountants are violent scumbags... Everyone knows that
-
Teachers and accountants are violent scumbags... Everyone knows that
I hope the other two involved in the fracas that didn't have their employment mentioned and had 27 and 9 convictions between them weren't taxi drivers!!
-
The one with 27 was an electrician.. enuff said..
-
There's a simple solution just keep bicycles off the roads, if they want to use them well then they should pay road tax.
-
I think someone mentioned on twitter or the journal that this incident just goes to show that taxis shouldn't be in bus lanes.....two modes of transport that shouldn't be near each other...buses and bicycles!!
-
The one with 27 was an electrician.. enuff said..
Sparks will fly....they wouldn't listen!!
-
An aul bike licence and a bit of insurance wouldn't be too much to ask of them either.
They cause as much damage in an accident as any other mode of transport and at no cost to them as is usually the case.
-
Yeah all bikers are uninsured scum
-
If they wanna race around at 40 to 45 kmh undertaking traffic they should be forced to wear full faced helmets along with elbow and knee pads.Also mandatory bull bars on all taxis..It might cost us a few MPGS on the Prius but we'll look cool.
The way these lads fly around you'd think they were the first generation of cyclists to ever grace the roads.Bicycles have been around a long time.Most of the fatalities involve a cyclist being in the wrong part of the road.If ya wanna do motorcycle speeds you should at least ride defensively.No point cycling in the middle of the road then crying when someone beeps at ya.Like I said we like cyclists..

They could let them on the m50 while they're at it.

with this vid flying around the internet .I wonder if his insurance company might be in touch ?
-
Amazed at the low levels of knowledge of so-called professional users of the road.
- There's no such thing as road tax, it's motor tax (www.motortax.ie (http://www.motortax.ie) might be a hint!). Additionally most cyclists also pay motor tax as they have cars at home (incredible, no?).
- A huge portion of cyclists are also fully insured (http://www.cyclingireland.ie/page/membership/insurance (http://www.cyclingireland.ie/page/membership/insurance)). Gasp!
It's great to start ranting about the behaviour that can be witnessed on the roads by misbehaving cyclists. Let's just gloss over the socially acceptable (but infinitely more dangerous) red-light jumping, speeding, mobile-phoning that so many people do when they're behind the wheel of a car.

Because there is insurance doesn't mean its used, maybe it should be compulsory as it is with every other road user.
Plus I don't know of any cyclist that has insurance

Amazing the low level of knowledge cyclists have in the pitch dark,
Disrespectful shower of morons running amok around the roads sharing the footpaths and roads with heavy traffic on dark wet windy night.
NOT A SPECK OF LIGHT OR VIS VEST,
NO respect for the safety of themselves or other road users.
I challenged a guard at a checkpoint on the canal last week over bicycles with no lights or reflectors on the road, he said it was a €40 fine.
I asked the guard how many fines has he issued, he smiled and said none tonight so far. He appeared to find it amusing,
Or he didn't give a fuck more like.
Some, yes some bicycles don't even use the bicycle Lane when they exist.
Their either crazy or they just don't realise the dangers,

I find that hard to believe.
Now I would say a few of the cycling nazi would have insurance but the bigger problem with bikes is in the city center with gobshites going to work thinking they are sill on their BMX s or choppers, they have no regard for their own safety or anybody elses, these twats need to be educated on the rules of the road and I will agree that some car, bus drivers also need education.
-
Hard to tell from that video if the taxi driver was trying to avoid something when he swerved?
Ha ha! He swerved twice to avoid something on an empty road? Good one!

In 70% of road collisions involving cars and bikes, it's the car drivers fault. Since when is a bus lane the middle of the road? The person who SHOULD have been in the middle of the road in this case is the taxi driver, who was illegally driving in the bus lane as he had no fare on board. The road was empty he had plenty of space to overtake safely but chose not to.

Cycling ireland insurance covers personal injury and third party. It doesn't cover bike theft.

I hate cunts on bikes, cyclists I respect but cunts on bikes are vermin. We're only seeing the cunt on a bikes edited version of events in this video. Inanyways, the bike knob crashed into the car from what I can see.
A blind taxi driver? Off to Specsavers with you!
-
Well then it should be compulsory. All cyclists should be insured. The ones who do have it are real cyclists. The others are more than likely just cunts on bikes.

Well said, H... and welcome aboard.
I'm blue in the face calling for enforcement of the rules of the road. Only last night I was passed by 11 speeding taxis on O'Connell Street (yes, the main street of our capital city) as I drove at the maximum permissible speed of 30 kilos/hour. Taxis meandering out of control while drivers are fixated on their telephone screens are commonplace since Hail0/mytaxi came along. It's all great fun 'till lives are lost and/or insurance premiums increase.

Hold on a minute, who said I was a professional driver?
If I was a professional driver I'd have mowed down 100s of yis cunts by now.

You're a howl RC.

A colleague was rear ended a couple of years ago when he had to brake hard for a cyclist who broke a red, and cycled off into the sunset.
-
A mate of mine had €1500 worth of damage to his car for the same thing. Again no comeback.

2 points Cúchuaillain,
1 .It may be the cars fault but there`s no sense in being 100% right and dead or paralysed. All cyclists should treat every car as a life threatening incident waiting to happen.
2. The taxi is NOT driving illegally in the bus lane as it is allowed while en route to a job or if plying for hire.

Welcome to all the newbies who have nothing better to come onto a taxi drivers forum and slate us all for the actions of one driver. That driver done wrong and actually may not now suffer th full wrath of the law as he won’t get a fair trial. He has been hung drawn and quartered by everyone, myself included.
We are not all angels on the roads, pedestrians, cyclists, drivers of any cars but we all need to be vigilant and respect esch others road space. Cyclists need to use the cycle lanes for their ow;safety, yes some of them are in shite, some of them are only lines painted on a footpath but so are the lanes on a road, some of them are in rag order too.
And Hooya, piss off with your reporting of a post. If ya don’t like it here fuck off. Why do you think none of us are on cycling forums, because every hate most of yiz on the road ya poxbottle

Mutual respect is the way forward.

I am saying talk of bus lanes is irrelevant as it not a bus lane at that time.

2. The taxi is NOT driving illegally in the bus lane as it is allowed while en route to a job or if plying for hire.
-
Cyclist in the wrong imo
Please explain? Driver has two goes at hitting cyclist, succeeds at second attempt and drives away i.e. hit and run. How is it the cyclists fault? This should be good.

It's not a bus lane.
So it's alright to run him over so. Grand job, glad you clarified.

I see the cops were moving drivers on for hanging off the Penneys Rank earlier.Havent seen that in a years.Be on yer best behaviour lads until things cool down.

Were they on bikes by any chance?
-
In 70% of road collisions involving cars and bikes, it's the car drivers fault. Since when is a bus lane the middle of the road? The person who SHOULD have been in the middle of the road in this case is the taxi driver, who was illegally driving in the bus lane as he had no fare on board. The road was empty he had plenty of space to overtake safely but chose not to.
Excellent contribution, welcome aboard.
If ever there was a case for teaching rules of the road in school, this is it. The poster clearly doesn't operate a car or bicycle, if he did he would know that taxis may use bus lanes without a fare on board. Both context and his attitude suggest that, armed with what he strangely believes to be the law, he would happily walk under the wheels of a taxi travelling in a bus corridor believing that he is in the right. Bar stool barristers, eh?
-
It's always the car drivers fault...even when it's not....insurance claims will no doubt show this to be true.
There's definitely an element who think it's everybody else's responsibility for their welfare.

Profit from the people .With all the concern for the boney subframe covered in fat peddling bicycles ,how come the bicyclists are not up in arms that the government are allowing the councils to profit from putting unarmed operators in the saddle .Those rent a bikes are a death trap .How can the council,minister allow bicycles be rented to citizens without any protective headgear .Imsure it wouldnt be impossible to provide a helmet with each rental there might even be a business opportunity for some entrepuneur who failed to be elected president to sell disposable helmet liners .That lad who was knocked off his bike could of been killed if he wasent wearing a hat ,Was he wearing a Hat ?

Is it not bad enough that we have to put up with arrogant priggish cyclists on the roads all day without having to tolerate them here as well ?.
I see stupid /selfish /dangerous behavior on the roads all day long Taxis Buses Cars Motorcyclists and Pedestrians are all guilty of it from time to time but some (not all)cyclists deserve a special award for sheer assholery.. when you see the head camera it's usually a dead giveaway.
Cyclists operate with relative anonymity so you cannot put their name up on the internet no matter what they damage or how many peoples lives they put at risk. Taxi drivers on the other hand are easy targets ...
I think all cyclists should have some visible ID like a numbered hi vis vest and should have to prove themselves competent to use the roads and follow the rules like every other road user.. C:-)
Also there are some who will try to bait you .............. so they can get stuff to put up on their stupid you tube channel

Firstly a big welcome to all our new anonymous Cyclist Trolls on here.
After reading all 9 pages of that Tripe, the facts boil down to;
Cyclists dislike all other road users.
All other road users dislike Cyclists.
Personally as a night time Taxi driver, I do dislike late night cyclists as most often they cycle while under the influence and very seldom have any lighting turned on the bicycle, they cycle the wrong way on one-way streets and are a hazard to mainly themselves.
Cyclists need to realize that they are cycling a 10 LB Aluminium bike, while I'm in a protected Two Ton steel vehicle with impact bars, roll cage, safety belt and an airbag...... and they have a Helmet !
When the Crunch comes, there is going to be No Winners.
But most likely the road user will have his insurance premium hiked up fer 5 years
and the Cyclist will go to his Grave !

Cyclist was a w=nker for sure and the driver should watch the oul blood pressure .But as long as you haven't had a collision or broken the law then you don't have to answer to em . that was this driver's mistake.
Cyclist shouts at me then I just roll down the windows turn up the radio and completely ignore them .Don't react at all. It really pisses them off big-time and you are not likely to be a you tube star O:-)

not really, the cyclist is under no obligation to pull over, just as no driver is when someone is up their hole.
typical thick taxi driver mentality though.

and 22 years of no claims insurance bonus.
Can you boast those figures Jamie ?
How ever I am smart enough to know to turn on my lights when driving at night

Good points, JD78... welcome aboard.
Reiterates the need for enforcement of the rules of the road. (Taxi) Drivers have little regard for the same simply because they are not enforced. As suggested in a previous response (to the chap that thought the taxi was breaking the law by using the bus lane) there is a strong case for teaching the rules of the road in schools. There are folk who will never operate cars or bicycles (like our aforementioned learned friend) who ought to know the basics, if only to satisfy their apparent need to preach on tinternet.

Those were not good points! they were pointless self righteous rants with a few dumb insults thrown in.
a sizable number of cyclists have even less regard for the rules of the road than any other road users, simply because they are even less enforced and nearly unenforceable for them and they know it . anybody who spends any time on the roads knows this! their own worst enemies .

They were good points, TDH... but, perhaps, not well made.
It would be folly to suggest that (taxi) drivers adhere to the rules of the road. You don't have to stray far from the GPO any night to witness countless taxis breaking the speed limit with impunity. mytaxi dispatches billions, no more than that millions, of jobs every day. The vast majority of those involve drivers interacting with their telephones while driving hence causing varying degrees of distraction relevant to driving without due care and attention.

Nobody has suggested that drivers (taxis or others) all stick to the rules the road that's not the point . I am still saying that cyclists are often the worst offenders and the single biggest factor in their own safety on the road or lack thereof.. I was driving at the speed limit on the Ormond quay only a few days ago when I was passed at speed by several cyclists who then ran a red light. we've all seen cyclists wearing headphones texting while cycling. Taxi drivers are too easy a scapegoat.
