Another idiot Cyclist

[Ric]

So today i was going from Peel St to turn left onto Norwood Rd when an idiot cyclist went through the red light from Sussex Rd and cut across my right of way and proceeded to cycle in the middle of the road, a pip of my horn lead to a two finger salute from said cyclist. A message for that moron, try that again and i'll put you in the wall. Photo's will be uploaded when i find the cable for dash cam.

Announcing your intent to commit a serious road traffic offence on social media hardly makes you the sharpest tool in the box either.

If he had said he was going to commit "a serious traffic offence" you might have a point.

As it was it's open to interpretation.

You could of course post some idiot driver incidences they are about as well.

I agree, usually in a BMW, Audi or some Taxi's.

Todays bad cyclist is tomorrows bad motorist - or equally - todays bad motorist was yesterdays bad cyclist....It's the person who follows/breaks the rules that counts, not the form of propulsion.

Are you of British origin? Did you know that the British people are renowned for using metaphors and sarcasm regularly as part of their language? It is not meant to be tqken literally. The British legal bodies are fully aware and would refuse to take any action if any one complained. If the cyclist was also British and read that, he would also understand that he had p..ss..d someone off, he would not consider it a threat on his life. It is you who needs a whetstone.

You don't have the right temperament to be safe on the road. Surrender your licence.

Been driving 35 years without an accident and currently drive 60k miles per year so i think i'm more than qualified and have the right temperament.

Well you would wouldn't you but qualifications that are awarded to oneself are worthless.

I spent a couple of hours last night trying to get some footage off my dash cam of a tall guy on one of those big racing cycles that went straight through a blatant red light on lulworth rd ( travelling towards hillside ) right in front of a car that had a green light on weld rd ( travelling towards beach ). I was shocked to see this as I don’t know how the car missed him, cyclist was dressed in what looked like a one piece Lycra shocking green skin and I think his bike was green. I was at the lights waiting to go into the village.
I thought this will show that lot on Qlocal but I made a mess of retrieving the data and ended up reformatting the card.

But as i didn't award my driving license to myself it can hardly be classed as worthless.
