    Quite unreal.

    And if he hadn't had a helmet camera?...

    That is scary. At least the guy was okay. I mean neither of these drivers were looking where they were going at all!

    I can't make out what the woman is saying but she seems to be very confused as to what's going on...

    Plus, there's a guy on the floor wearing hi-viz, a car stopped in the middle of the lane with a bike underneath it, and the rest of the traffic is only concerned with the obstruction to its flow.

    Staggering. At least the golf driver stopped. I'm sure that woman would have kept going if the bike trapped under her car hadn't stopped her.

    How many questions did the poor guy have to answer for the call centre? I hope I'd be that calm but I'm sure I wouldn't be!

    Nuts - what are these people on. Poor cyclist - but kept his cool - admirable.

    Cyclist totally on the money - stays calm. Gets plenty of witness names and addresses. Stays astonishingly calm. Actually, how does he manage to stay calm? Tells the drivers exactly what they did. Without insulting them. Phones for ambulance, then gets down, takes shoe off, stays down. Takes 10 minutes before the man asks if he is hurt. The woman who drove over the top of him after he had been knocked down stayed in shock that she hadn't noticed him [if I am being generous]. Here come the emergency services now. Some spicy comments on the comments beneath the video on youtube. Initial collision takes your breathe away. Amir is right about the amount of stoners driving about out there.

    could have been a lot worse with that woman driving on regardless
