self-gratification artist films himself verbally abusing cyclists

[Jenkins]

Most of the comments seem to be against cyclists.

Of course they are - it is the Daily Bigot after all.

 

[r04DiE]

Absolute moron.

This is one of the comments.

"oldambler, Halifax, United Kingdom, 2 hours ago
Yesterday my wife had to drive behind a cyclist all the way till she came to the driveway. He new she was there and rode up the middle of the road so she could not pass. So what's his excuse. Another lycra Pratt."


His excuse would probably be that he was riding in primary fearing/expecting your stupid wife was going to overtake him then cut him up, to get to her precious drive before him.

Honestly the stupid arrogance of pricks like this angers me!

And he was filming in portrait mode. He's on the list.

How could he know where her drive was?

It probably has a sign saying pricks live here outside the house.

Yeah, there are cars in front of me that I can't pass all the way through central London. They're driving in the middle of the road, parked by the side of the road, clogging up the oncoming lane, creeping about like a load of fat snails in angry looking shells, so I know exactly how his missus feels.

I had a car in front of me as I went down a hill on Sunday. Damn thing wouldn't use a nearby motorway so I was held up all the way down.

There is a brilliant piece of work bythe Institute of Advanced Motorists - Sharing the road with cyclists

Cyclists are advised to take a prominent position in the road well ahead of any manoeuvre to ensure
they are in the right place at the right time. If they ride in the middle of the road it is probably not to
obstruct your path, but to ensure that they are seen by you and by other motorists.
Cyclists often ride at some distance from the kerb to avoid drains and potholes and to discourage motorists from
squeezing them on narrow roads. It is not in their interest to delay motorists deliberately.

I have used this a couple of times to great effect, pointing out that they are ignorant of something that the IAM takes as standard

I have been calling dangerous drivers Cudds for years.or something similar.

Nice. Pity they have to be, or are aspiring to be, "advanced"

Though they might consider re-wording this part.

Finally, every motorist has seen some irresponsible
cyclists use the pavement, road and zebra
crossings, seemingly at random. This is not only dangerous for pedestrians but unlawful, and the
police can and do issue penalty notices for such offences. The police take a serious view of such
careless or dangerous cycling, particularly when it puts other road users at risk. Responsible motorists
give such irresponsible cyclists a wide berth.

Which seems to suggest I should be given extra space when passed if I behave like a d1ck.
