The driver should have been aware that there was a fast-moving bike there, since he would have caught up and passed him while driving on the road. However, the cyclist shouldn't be riding on the sidewalk, and also has a responsibility to make sure he can safely cross that entryway without being hit. Same as a pedestrian, you can't just walk across and expect a car will see you. Doing so is just asking to be hit by the car.

This is realy crazy move. Where do they get the courage for something like this?
It's not courage, just plain stupidity.
That cyclist was going pretty fast on the sidewalk. Still the car should have checked. I wonder what the legalities are on this one. Technically the cyclist should have been on the road but the driver should have checked. The cyclist could have a concussion in addition to those scrapes and bruises.
cyclist should not have been on the sidewalk
Even if the cyclist was on the road, they should not pass along the inside of a car. Car would have checked and saw it was clear and then the cyclist came out of nowhere

I got nailed badly going north on Trafalgar in 2008. I was riding on the sidewalk because there was no bike lane on the street and it wasn't prohibited. I was going through a green pedestrian light when a BMW pulled up out of nowhere. At the last second I realized the driver was only looking left to check for traffic and roll a right through the red light. I went flying and my bike was wrecked. Police found fault 100% with the driver.

Not sure what you mean by this. Being in the larger and heavier vehicle, the driver must be aware of his surroundings at all times. I do constant mirror and spot checks when I'm preparing to make a right turn to make sure no pedestrians or cyclists are coming through.
As a cyclist and driver, both parties made a mistake but the fault should be on the driver.

I don't disagree with everything you said, but in the case of this video I would say the cyclist is 100% at fault. For one he should not be on the sidewalk period, we learn that as kids. Secondly, the cyclist was going at a pretty good clip, which again I think is against the law. He could have easily hit an unsuspecting pedestrian. Thirdly, I have a feeling the driver had no chance of seeing him as the cyclist was coming up the blind spot and there were obstructions also to hinder the view, such as a pole and utility box....
Drivers must be aware of cyclists but cyclists must learn they must be extra aware, as they will always loose the battle...common sense.

Agreed, I'll always let the morons do their thing whether I'm in my car or on my bike. Like I said, the cyclist made a mistake as well but there was significant distance between the sidewalk and road, meaning the driver should've been more aware. Also, it's hard to tell with the quality but it didn't look like they signaled. Like Aitch mentioned, driver should've seen the cyclist at some point and known to practice extra caution.
There are always going to be stupid pedestrians and cyclists who make risky decisions, but I'd rather take extra precautions to avoid an accident. I don't want someone's death on my conscience, regardless of whose fault it was.

Most cyclists never pass on the right of a car when its in the curb lane. Risk of opening doors and right hand turns.

Not sure what you're not sure about
If I'm driving my car, no cyclist should be passing me on the right in the same lane I'm driving in. By being the larger heavier vehicle, if I hit you, you will not survive
Like I said, if you're turning right, a cyclist has no right to come past you on your right. If you do that as a cyclist, please stop doing it.

There are no laws against "going at a pretty good clip"
Having something in your blind spot does not affect fault.

That's just Insurance bullshit and expected as they can make money on a driver, not a cyclist. IF Insurance companies can put 100% blame on the drivers all the time without investigation, that's just pure robbery...Typical Insurance company move though.
There may be no law pertaining to speed on a sidewalk but there are rules, read the MTO on that.
In this situation it was not just the blind spot but an incredibly stupid bicyclist riding excessively fast on the side-walk. The driver may have glanced back and saw nothing as the cyclist was not there, but because of his speed he caught up to the car, which is HIS (cyclists) responsibility to watch for also....read the MTO. The cyclist should have watched, slowed or prepared to stop to let the vehicle turn as he is NOT supposed to pass cars on the right, which again is not a law but a rule....read the MTO. Rules are meant for a reason....safety.
Personally I could care less about how Insurance companies presently would view this as they are all thief's anyway, but any 'reasonable' person or Police officer views this clip, they would undoubtedly side with my judgement.
I've had two very similar instances in my driving career (a while back) and both times I was found not at fault by the Law nor did my Insurance find fault nor raised my rates....just saying.

Street racing challenger and Audi. Challenger run out of his lane, left of center by a left turning corolla.
Both drivers are idiots who deserve a nice fat ticket/ points.
Description from Friday thread. :
10:12 PM Driving north on mt. Pleasant out of downtown tonight and an Audi Q1 or something tried racing a challenger. The Audi SUV had passengers drinking Budweiser holding cans out of the windows. I was behind 1 or two cars watching.
The light turns green, both cars take off. Idiots.
.
A parked corolla then crosses 2 lanes of traffic ahead to turn left onto a side street. The challenger is cut off, panics and drives left of center. He turned left and took off down manor road or something. The Q1 took off ahead.
Street racing is stupid and very dangerous and if there was more traffic going SB, there could have been a head on collision at speed as the challenger went left of center going 80 kph+
It's on my dashcam and I'll post later in that thread when I go home. Scary s***. Don't street race plz.

I understand what you are saying. The car up ahead of the truck was also going at a slower pace than me however. Nor was I holding up any traffic (both me and car in front were averaging 130 kph at this point and no cars behind me that wanted to pass)
Had the versa come up behind me and flashed his lights I would have gladly moved over and let him by regardless of how fast he was going ( my estimate is around 140 kph at least)

To be fair to that first motorcyclist, I would have made that pass all day every day. I'm out of there so fast and it has very little impact on you. Going through a red light is stupid tho.

The wide angle lens makes it look further away than he actually was... He was about a foot and a half away from my fender. Would you also fail to signal and ride without gear? This guy was a total asshat.
I came to a full stop because I couldn't anticipate if he was going to go or not. I could've went past the same time he did resulting in an accident.

You would be entirely at fault. How do I know? That accident happened to me when I was 19. The lady even tried to sue me.
I even had 6 witnesses waiting with me when the cops showed up. Didn't matter that she ran the red light, apparently I failed to make sure it was safe to turn left.
There was, however, a milk transport truck that was able to come to a stop in time, so I couldn't even see her lane. She came flying out from beside the milk truck and I clipped her rear driver side.

Yesterday in brampton, i was about to enter a green light at an intersection, when a person turns into my lane from the left turning lane AND COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP thinking it was a 2 lane left turn. I slam the brakes, hoping not to get hit from behind, because nobody stops in a green. Holy horns galore. I was thankful the other drivers were aware of their surroundings.
Something else happened last night, but i forget what it was.
Than this evening, while going down a single lane road that is under construction, the driver in front of me made the mistake of thinking there was road, where there was no road. His 2 wheels went off the road, scraped the under side of the car, sent sparks everywhere than landed on all 4. I thought he was going to roll because the drop is about 5ft. He was fine and we laughed about it.

I know your pain, you should try driving a bus along downtown Toronto streets lol. Asshats in cars, jay walkers, bicyclists they all think they can jump in front of your bus and you'll stop...I won't do over 30kph, otherwise there'd be dead people.;)
I do downtown Toronto too and it's needlessly stressful. People act like such idiots around a bus that could kill them. I take it you drive for the red one? My condolences, you have it rough brother.

Funny enough that person making the left will be 100% at fault. GF was in that exact situation, she was making the left as the light was orange/red, and the other person was speeding, however she got the ticket for turn not in safety as the guy going straight has the right of way, even on a orange/almost red light"
Insurance went up 50% for writing off the car, 25% for the ticket.

I can't see the light changing to red. But that's exactly right, even if the person driving straight is running the red light, the person turning left was starting from stationary and had the decision not to drive in front of a moving vehicle. Especially when there is no video evidence, if you're making a left turn you have to make sure you're not driving in front of someone you're not 100% sure is going to stop.

While sudz is not being defensive and landed in the blindspot. Driver of Charger clearly demonstrate lack of ability to conduct the lane change safely, which forced sudz to swerve.
Agreed. And not that it is an excuse - it was damn near 3am and I was dangerously tired. Cruise was on, I figured he had a clear lane to travel in, there would be no logical reason for him to decide to cut across two lanes to drive in the exact same spot I was currently occupying. Also, He continued to weave lanes until we split at QEW/403@ brant. I called the cops. He also did not react at ALL to my honk or my flashing highbeams.
Hyperion
03-08-2016, 06:03 PM
How did you want him to react to your flashing and honking? Hold up a sign saying he's sorry?
He merged, maybe didn't check, maybe you were in his blind spot. Maybe he merged to the middle lane so that he doesn't have to have people merge onto the highway infront of him later on.

You can't be serious? How long have you been driving and do you know what proper driving is in the first place? ...Seriously.
The proper reaction would have been for that idiot to move back into the right lane, which he had came from and which he should have stayed in, in the first place!! Crossing more then one lane at a time is a definite idiotic move, especially when merging, unless you are 100% sure the way is clear. It doesn't matter if Sudz was eventually in his blind spot, the idiot should have looked over his shoulder or better yet, should have known sudz was there before he even changed lanes. If he had used proper methods of 'scanning' for 'proper situational awareness' a close call would have never happened...One of my pet peeves is how most morons on the road have no clue about proper merging or how dangerous it is too change multiple lanes on the highway.

This is getting intense... Can't we all just get along? I could have been driving better, however I have the right to continue driving forward in my lane, and he took that right of way with an illegal lane change, proceeded to ignore my horn and highbeams, and weave and wander lanes. Cops were called as I strongly believed he was drunk and it was 3am on a Friday night.

The BMW was on "stock" pirelli's. It's the M-sport track edition of the car (comes with an LSD and bigger rims & tires). My speed3 was on some Goodyear GT's (I think). To be honest, my 3 is stock as a rock and my everyday beater. I was down there for the annual Deal's Gap Rotary Rally (a primarily RX-7 meet) but I'm unwilling to drive my 7 the 1400km's each way, so every year I bring the 3.
The Dragon is a road that makes power (relatively) irrelevant. Torque is important for pulling out of the tight corners, but the 3 does just fine. A very technical, very fun road to drive and I'll be back down there again next year.

Sooo,
Ive had Defy Media (break.com) reach out to me and offer me 2 offers for a video I posted, anyone deal with this before?
Option 1 was $100 upfront for the video and they own,
Option 2 - $50 upfront, and 50/50% split on ad revenue (Ive made almost nothing on it so far on youtube, as its under 300 views)..
I was going with option 2, but trying to see if anyone has done this before, Ive only found 2 similar threads on reddit.
take a gamble on option 2.
That's still 50 bucks more than you had before even if no one watches it.

Thats my thought exactly, its a box of diapers...
If they didnt think it would make over $100, I don't think they would offer it. I believe they will also be responsible for all the "copying" of the video if people feel the need to rip it off.

I just got the Viofo A119S, just haven't installed it yet. Other than a defective microsd slot which I ended up having to fix, the video quality is really really good. You should get it from Amazon.ca to avoid defects like mine. I got the GPS version with CPL Filter (polarized filter) from China. The GPS module is slightly better because it has another power input. That way if you dismount, you don't need to unplug the cable/leave it dangling. With 1080p/60fps, WDR and audio, it's about 750MB for 5mins.
With GPS Module:

CPL Filter is extra
