A DOZY driver caught barreling down a cycle line with riders struggling to get out of the way has been filmed by a cyclist.
The video was uploaded to TikTok by @cycling_in_London and has hit thousands of views.
The video shows a car crossing a junction but instead of going into a lane designated for cars, it goes into a bi-directional cycle lane.
The cyclist who filmed the video can be heard shouting and ringing his bell at the driver, who finally gets the message and moves over.

The incident took place in London and has caused controversy among the cycling community.
The cyclist told SWNS: “I was cycling home from work, it’d be about a 20-minute ride when I noticed the driver enter the cycle lane.
“While it did look like an accident, the driver took quite a long time to leave, despite several dropped curbs along the way.
“I was worried more for cyclists coming in the other direction than my own safety as it’s a bidirectional cycle lane, and I was very worried when cyclists had to take evasive action.”
The unnamed cyclist, a frequent commuter in London, regularly publishes videos of incidents that show how difficult cycling is in the capital.
Despite that, he started a TikTok account to highlight the positive side of cycling in London.

However, he believes it is crucial to expose the car drivers that put cyclists at risk.
Predictably, plenty of people in the comments were anti-cyclist despite the car driver’s mistake.
“Seems fair. Cyclists use roads when there are cycle paths. They are only doing the same,” said one TikTok user.
“Well, you go on the road and car drivers can go in the cycle lane, which cars pay for,” said another.
