It's Cyclists vs Motorists midweek mayhem!
Who is at fault? You decide! Click 'I like this!' if you think the cyclist is to blame. If you think the motorist is to blame, click 'I like this!'.
EDIT: If you are ambivalent, or wish to abstain from the vote, click 'I like this!'.

I'm reserving judgement on this until I've heard Dom's opinion.

Clip in pedals mean that he may have twisted his knee/ ankle, and reduce the ability to fall away from the bike and have a better landing.
Why you won't catch me using them. (Well, that and the fact my bike has an 800cc engine and isn't pedal powered!)

I have never had a problem with clip in pedals.
Every crash I've had they just seem to pop out fine.
Yes ideally the car should have given him more room but being slightly in the right doesn't mend his broken wrist.
Riding defensively - ie moving over to the left when he could - might have helped.

"Barely" pushing a handlebar with a vehicle
will mean you suddenly stop going forward because of the 20 degree or so immediate change in angle, and the lack of any turning balance. Makes no difference if you are clipped in.

Neither
There is a groove in the road, it caught his thin road tyre and he was pushed into the car. It's an accident without blame.

Sorry, No.
The reason the recommended room is the same as a car is precisely this - cyclists wobble, and may have to swerve out suddenly for potholes etc.
The cyclist was NOT given the same room as a car would have been given, so the fault lies entirely with the driver. QED

On further thinking
Both parties should go and have a long think about what they've done and that'll keep both the liabilities off the road for a while.

Totally this
Car fails to drive in a straight line and at no point is giving the cyclist any options except to ride into the nearest ditch.

I wonder if the driver saw the rear cyclist turn
and didn't really clock the one in front.
Bleary-eyed morning fuck up. At least he didn't scarper.

If only the driver had spent an hour watching this.
