Bicycle riders Must be much more proficiant on our roads because they don't need a licence or any training whatsoever to use the roads that the motoring public and transport industry pay for and they neither have to display "P" or "L" plates either.[bigwhistle]Quote:

I just put those reasons ahead of my 'rights' as a driver, and their possible 'ineptitude'.
How much time would I have lost in my journey by slowing or even stopping? Jack.
How much time and grief and shark money would I have lost if it all went wrong by not even slowing? A fair bit.
I do ride a bike occasionally on all sorts of roads and thus far have been afforded similar courtesy (wide berth, slowing behind before passing if necessary, etc) by car and truck drivers.
I'm not condoning arrogant pushbike rider behaviour, ****s me to tears.

As a School- bus driver... I had the advantage of 4 metres tall x2.4 wide and distinctive Orange... so taking command of the other side of the road when required was no problem.
Running a Dash-cam to prove Virtue / speed is just common sense. They're the cheapest and most effective insurance.[biggrin][biggrin][biggrin]
