That one with the polo vw van was so close to the rear wheel its pretty scarey! Makes my commute look like a walk in the park.

Just had a very quick look - loads of selfish inconsiderate drivers as usual - and quite a few stupid, selfish cyclists. Conclusion - there are a great many selfish, stupid, inconsiderate people out there - so watch out!

PS actually what you see is pretty normal central london stuff - if a driver was behind the guy filming he would probably think his road position was mostly very selfish and inconsiderate - depends on your perspective of course.

I'd say the drivers came out as by far the best in that set, the excellent anticipation and all round awareness of some preventing some truly idiotic cyclists from serious harm.

I'd agree with the standard London statement, I see riding like that fairly often. It's a minority that I see riding like that but with so many cyclists around its not too hard to find. Loads of people jump red lights but 99% of the time it's perfectly safe and doesn't upset pedestrians.
Impatient pedestrians probably cause many more problems than impatient road users.
