Appearing to misjudge the situation, the rider, who is dressed in a bright yellow hooded jacket, blue jeans and a khaki backpack, then bounces off the bonnet of the car.

In the footage, the rider is seen dusting himself off after the crash and shaking the taxi driver's hand.

He can be heard saying, 'Yeah, no, that's fine. Take care' before waving goodbye and cycling off.

YouTube users were split as to who was to blame for the incident in north west London.

Some suggested the taxi driver was late to indicate, while others said the cyclist was at fault for attempting to undertake the vehicle.

One person wrote: 'That was the taxi at fault. He did not start indicating until the cyclist was already passing him.'

Sam Mouzer said: 'The taxi may of indicated late.... but the cyclist was undertaking.'

Meanwhile, John Ledi said: 'Both at fault, undertaking is illegal, and the driver did not check his mirror.'

According to Rule 72 of The Highway Code, cyclists are warned not to 'ride on the inside of vehicles signalling or slowing down to turn left,' as they will likely be in the driver's blind spot.
