London driver rams cyclist after traffic light filter turns green (+ video, includes swearing) Incident at Clapham Common highlights how poor junction design can put cyclists in danger cycling
A cyclist in London who had not realised that a left-hand filter traffic signal had turned green because he was unable to see it from his position behind the advanced stop line has posted a video to Twitter of the moment he was rammed from behind by a driver.
Explaining the background to the incident, he said he was “waiting in ASL in left lane . Was looking at furthest light away and didn’t realise there was a left filter arrow. Cyclist told me that’s why he [the driver] was beeping, but was rammed before could move. And while the left filter arrow can be seen on the video from the bar-mounted camera, it’s likely that the higher position of the rider’s head means that in any event it may well have been obscured from his point of view.
