IT'S the video that takes defensive driving to a whole new level.

One day after cyclist Chris Cox called for a bikeway to replace on-street car parks along a notoriously dangerous Brisbane road, he filmed this motorist on the same stretch of road.

He posted the video on YouTube and called it 'Extreme Patience' after the ute followed him cautiously along Sylvan Rd at Toowong.

"I could see parked cars ahead so I thought I'd keep an eye on him and make sure he passed me safely, but he just didn't seem to be approaching on me. I thought 'hmmm, that's unusual'."

Mr Cox said he was amazed how patiently the driver waited behind him as he cycled around cars, through a pinch point, and around someone putting a bike in their boot.

"So many drivers would've still passed me and then pulled over afterwards - and they could've done so safely enough. This was definitely an extreme case of patience! Thank you driver," he posted.

Mr Cox estimated he was riding at about 25km/h and said the driver was doing the same before the ute finally pulled off the road.

"I've never seen that on Sylvan Rd before. It was quite bizarre and not something I'd expect," he said.

"I think he was just very watchful through there which is great. He was probably almost overly cautious but good luck to him."

On Wednesday, Mr Cox dubbed the same road 'Shamozzle Rd' and called for on-street car parks along one side of the road to be replaced with a dedicated bikeway to improve safety for cyclists forced to negotiate parked cars and fast-moving traffic.

Online critics at The Courier-Mail attacked the plan, but Mr Cox fired back.

"I just think it's a bit disappointing that they leapt to the usual attacks on cyclists breaking road rules and not paying rego which was completely irrelevant to what I was saying."
