I think he's in a little bit of trouble.

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.

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 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). 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

That's from 2016, membership is growing every year.  Each one of those ~16,000 has insurance.

Should be compulsory not just because you wanna claim for your robbed bike.

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!

[setantathecabman]

There's a simple solution just keep bicycles off the roads, if they want to use them well then they should pay road tax.

A 'professional' driver who thinks he pays road tax? Jesus wept.

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.
