[quote][i]Originally posted by Nic Barnes[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by nibnob21[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by SVM 286[/i] IMO all cyclists should be drivers and all drivers should be cyclists :nod: [/quote] This. Or a motorbike will do. It makes you a much better driver. So many drivers see a cyclist and go into autopilot of 'I must overtake them, they're a cyclist', with no thought given to the cyclist's actual speed, or the road conditions up ahead etc. Countless times I've had people hold me up because they've overtaken and instantly hit the brakes. The positions you get put in sometimes by motorists is staggering; you're frequently seen as just an inanimate object in the way as opposed to an actual human being. When some people get in their cars they become so detached from the real world. I cycle most days for work and have a camera. Is it to go out looking for shit? No, I have a sense of self preservation. I'm the one who's always going to come out in a worse state. Is it in case I need something to back me up if the situation ever arises when Mr Dopey having his morning or afternoon snooze to/from work takes me off my bike? Yep. Has that nearly happened? Yep, quite a few times. But not because I look for it, but because some drivers are completely oblivious to their surroundings. The absolute vast majority of drivers are completely fine and respectful, and the absolute vast majority of cyclists are completely fine and respectful. However like with anything in life it's the minority that stands out. [/quote]ive had many close incidents because people pull out of a junction not realising that even on a push bike i can be going along at 20-25mph in a 30 almost keeping up with the traffic. then as you say, the people who slam the brakes for no reason. then the people who deliberately pull into and cover up cycle lanes etc. [/quote]
