Cyclone Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 No, the reason people were dying in London was the failure of the vehicles to indicate when stationary at lights and the failure of the drivers to look before they made a left turn. ---------- Post added 20-03-2014 at 22:14 ---------- agreed....completely in the wrong, undertaking takes you to the undertaker... You're wrong, bikes are entitled to filter on the left or the right in slow moving traffic. And it has to be slow if a bike is passing you doesn't it.

psynuk Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 however trying to look at it from the cyclist perspective, if your car was placed enough to the right in the line of traffic he might not have seen your rear indicator, but I can't think of a good reason why he didn't see your side one.. where did this happen exactly and what car do you drive?

Really? in every case? not likely. so if a cyclist filters up to a lorry who's waiting at the front of the queue who is indicting who has right of way? imo the cyclist is still in the protracted action of undertaking squarely putting the blame at their pedals if they continue to undertake a left turning lorry.

I1L2T3 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 OP was in the right but should double check that the bulb hasn't gone on rear indicator - that could explain what caused the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it has to be slow if a bike is passing you doesn't it. They are not entitled, nor are they wise to filter past a vehicle signalling left at a junction. The Highway Code is clear. As are the accident statistics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesnt matter who is right or wrong/ Any one on a bike who argues with a 20 ton lorry deserves all he gets :hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a side indicator as well. Doesnt matter who is right or wrong/ Any one on a bike who argues with a 20 ton lorry deserves all he gets :hihi: One can be prosecuted for "Driving without Due Care and Attention". Not sure if this applies to cyclists. I'm not sticking up for either party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
