Watch as a cyclist smashes into the back of a van – nobody can believe how the men handle it
A VIDEO of a cyclist smashing into a van has gone viral on social media, but viewers can’t believe how both men handled it.
The video was uploaded on TikTok by @Norfolkdashcam and it has surprised users due to the reaction of the van driver.
The footage was filmed using a camera on the bike and shows the cyclist accidentally hitting the back of the van in front of him.
The cyclist immediately went to the van driver’s window to apologise to the driver.
“Sorry, my hands just slipped from the handlebars,” said the cyclist.
The van driver, instead of starting an argument, said: “That’s alright, don’t worry.”

The unusually peaceful ending caused people in the comments to reflect on how important it is to be respectful on the roads.
One said: “I am not a cyclist, but to be fair he was fine – the van didn’t even notice and he still went up to let him know what happened.
“Even when the van said it was okay, he was still asking if the van was sure.
“Fair play to you, for letting him know – most people wouldn’t.”
Another user said: “Wish there were more of these interactions.”
