"Blaine Walsh of Driving-instructor.tv and Michael Frearson of The Association of Bikeability Schemes share their thoughts why cyclists sometimes ride in the middle of the road, on how "right of way" doesn't exist, and how driving instructors have a vital role to play in teaching the next generation of drivers that everybody has a right to use roads, not just motorists."

Why can't we keep this one and delete the other one?

You're right, it was a hell of a shirt!

 

[Drago]

Is it a shirt, or some kind horrific skin disease?

 

[Dave 123]

I have one in a similar style....

Isn't the expert cyclist breaking the law at 2:53?

Yellow box junction?
He is not breaking the law as he is waiting to turn right, and his exit is clear once the oncoming traffic is past.

Interesting. I didn't know that. Thanks for clarifying.

Highway code, rule 174:

174
Box junctions. These have criss-cross yellow lines painted on the road (see ‘Road markings’). You MUST NOT enter the box until your exit road or lane is clear. However, you may enter the box and wait when you want to turn right, and are only stopped from doing so by oncoming traffic, or by other vehicles waiting to turn right. At signalled roundabouts you MUST NOT enter the box unless you can cross over it completely without stopping.
Law TSRGD regs 10(1) & 29(2)

Excellent. Any chance this could be given the same sort of exposure as Clarkson idiocy? I thought not....
