VIDEO: Scary footage of a car colliding with a Dublin cyclist

Use caution on the roads.

Use caution on the roads.

The following video was sent into us from Cycling Dubliner and in their own words “with all the talk recently of fines for cyclists, and cyclists being labeled as a scourge by some media outlets, I find it very hard to swallow when something like this happens.”

The video includes a brief description on its YouTube page that says “filtering up to make a right turn at the next junction, got hit by a car pulling out. I honestly expected the driver to stop, this normally occurs here. But alas the driver did not and I got smashed off my wheels. Only injuries to report are a mild pain in my shin and a grazed elbow, nothing bad thank goodness”.

Take a look for yourself and here’s hoping that it encourages even more caution and safety on the roads, from drivers and cyclists alike.
