Bassman62 Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Overtaking a parked vehicle is not moving away from the kerb, I won't be next to the kerb anyway. How far into the road will you be then,up to the white line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassman62 Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 They aren't in the wrong, do an advanced driving course and learn about when it's appropriate to indicate and when it isn't. Indicating as you pass parked cars on Sheffield streets could be dangerous in fact, as there are often side turnings nearby which you could well be indicating to use. Wow some advance driver telling everyone to ignore the Highway Code and copy what other bad drivers do. Bah Bah Black sheep comes to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassman62 Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Note that the phrase you highlighted was be aware of traffic coming up behind you. Ears. You can get a good idea of whether there is another road user behind you, how close they are, whether they are getting nearer, etc.,. I've also noticed many cyclists listening to music with earplug type speakers in their ears, surely they can't hear other traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 How far into the road will you be then,up to the white line? About a metre, maybe metre and a half from the kerb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 At least I can think for myself unlike you who follows klike a sheep. You've already admitted that you can't think, that's why you don't know what the cyclist will do when presented with an obstacle. Do you want another go? What path will the cyclist take when there is a parked car ahead of them? a) Fly over it b) Go around it c) Run into it d) Stop and doff their cap at you Try your very best, see if you can figure it out.

I take it you haven't done an AIM or Rospa advanced driving course then. But think that you know better than they do. Figures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be stupid and dangerous IMO, I'd never listen to earphones on a bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altus Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 I've also noticed many cyclists listening to music with earplug type speakers in their ears, surely they can't hear other traffic. No they can't and should use their eyes more - just like car drivers and motorcycle riders should. Does this mean you accept that, at least in some circumstances, cyclists can use their hearing to maintain an awareness of traffic around them?
