pbp2007 Posted November 15, 2009 Posted November 15, 2009 Or, another good reason to avoid bike lanes. One of at least a dozen that sneaked through to avoid a tailback of, oh, maybe 200 metres. Wetton Road, eastbound on the bridge over the M5 at Youngsfield. This happens often. Consequently, I now treat all motorists as lawless vermin. ... er, except when I'm driving. * At more or less this same spot two years ago I was similarly undertaken. Even though it took place alongside a no-overtaking sign, clearly undertaking wasn't considered illegal. The bizarre thing about this incident that it took place under the noses of a pointsman and three other officers in cars at the pre-Argus cycle tour children's ride. When I mentioned this quite forcefully, I was basically told to buzz off.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 This is the very reason I keep an eye on my rear-view mirror when negotiating traffic jams, and upon sight of one of the "yellow-laners" I promptly block them. Pisses them off no end, but I like to think I stop at least some of the lawlessness by myself. That, and get a good chuckle as they swear, gesticulate and vent steam in my direction. I go about 10cm to a foot inside the yellow, and then they can't do anything but stay behind me... It's a pet hate of mine...

Guest coenie Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 If I was not driving this morning I could have posted a pic of a car in the cycling lane....and wait for it...someone peeing next to the road... All in one picture, I could have made someones day on the hub. Posting 2 wrongs in ONE picture... Unfortunately there was no cyclists riding side by side, to complete the package
