Barrow driver fails to stop after collision with a cyclist.

Being realistic, the cyclist was coming down the hill a bit too quickly.
The driver did not indicate left, sadly this is far too common.
Go back and watch the video again. After the collision, follow the driver. He (or she) turns right, stops immediately, reverses back out again in to Rawlinson Street, then turns right again. This series of manoeuvres seems to suggest the driver knows a collision has occurred. After the reverse-turn, the driver sees that is a cyclist, and decides to leave the scene.

There are things I do as a cyclist to avoid this type of accident:
Approach the junction expecting to need to stop, no matter if the traffic lights are red or green.
I do not undertake the cars, I do try and make eye contact with the drivers.
If I’m turning left, I take a slow, wide line.
If I’m going straight ahead, I occupy the centre-line of the lane.
(In both cases I am fully aware that traffic is behind me. Tough. Take your turn like everyone else.)

The roundabout at Abbey Road and Hindpool Road

This seems to be turning in to a dangerous place. Only this week a cyclist was seriously injured.
I know two other people who have been involved in Road Traffic Accidents at this same location. One recently was a victim of a hit-and-run, thankfully she wasn’t injured. The other victim sustained sufficient injuries to keep him off work for about two months.
They both were cyclists, and I’m glad they are still cycling.
It seems to me that either one of two things are happening:
(a) drivers are “forgetting” to give way to traffic from the right and to give way to traffic already on the roundabout.
(b) cyclists are not “taking the lane” on the approach to the roundabout – and therefore not placing themselves where drivers will be looking for traffic.
