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.
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.

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.

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.
