This woman driving a Land Rover is clearly having a bowl of cereal in rush hour traffic. But is it any of the cyclist's business?
The video below is undoubtedly remarkable; a motorist filmed eating a bowl of cereal while queuing in rush hour traffic to get onto a busy road.
But are the actions of the driver or the cyclist more obnoxious.
The woman, without any doubt, should not be eating a bowl of cereal while driving. She is a danger to herself and those around her.
The shock of the driver behind her when the rider relays news of what’s happened is typical of how most road users would react if they had witnessed this sight.
But the rider himself veers across the road and almost comes to a stop to film the woman, near Hampton Court in Surrey.
