perplexed Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 You are wrong. My driving is perfect. Cyclists should not be on the road. Really? Are you willing to ride a bike for a few thousand miles a year and learn how wonderful many drivers are? Not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I took my test in my country. Before there was a theory test I think we can assume. I mean, you started an entire thread to ask about one of the basic rules out of the HC and you've gone on to demonstrate your ignorance quite a few times.

denlin Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 What makes you think that cyclists don't pay tax? Think they meant road tax not paye:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Road tax doesn't exist, so who knows what they were talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphy Jnr Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I don't recall regarding a cyclist as a nuisance, I leave space between me and their back wheel and only overtake if I can see it's safe to do so. I'm a damn good driver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barleycorn Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 VAT on sweeties maybe? Cyclists, indeed all slow moving vehicles, have an obligation to pull over where safe in order to allow faster moving vehicles to pass. jb Care to show me that rule? Clue- it doesn't exist. My pleasure. Rule 168 Being overtaken. If a driver is trying to overtake you, maintain a steady course and speed, slowing down if necessary to let the vehicle pass. Never obstruct drivers who wish to pass. Speeding up or driving unpredictably while someone is overtaking you is dangerous. Drop back to maintain a two-second gap if someone overtakes and pulls into the gap in front of you. Rule 169 Do not hold up a long queue of traffic, especially if you are driving a large or slow-moving vehicle. Check your mirrors frequently, and if necessary, pull in where it is safe and let traffic pass. jb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyclone Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 It is, unless you don't consider a bike to be a 'slow moving vehicle'. Of course most cyclists will never find that they are holding up a long queue of traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barleycorn Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 That's not referring to bikes you silly billy. There is no rule that bicycles have to pull over, you made it up. Really, in what way is a bike not a slow moving vehicle*? jb * apart from the obvious answer of when it is travelling at the same speed of the rest of the traffic on the road.

ferno Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Average urban traffic speeds = 11mph Bikes are faster. You expect cars to pull over to let bikes past? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
