The real Dr Dave Brennen. He left here to focus on other things like writing a book. Initiated and organised Pedal on Parliament in Scotland recently..

He got a bit sick of being drawn into some of the pointless/ repetitive victim blaming arguments on the site and is now concentrating on other things.

I love the dishonesty in leaving the last sentence out of your quote on rule 63:
"Use of cycle lanes is not compulsory and will depend on your experience and skills, but they can make your journey safer. "
They can also make your journey more dangerous, which is why sometimes cyclists will choose not to use them.
p.s. I laughed when I saw the video you pirated has been removed. Tut tut, naughty Paul.

THE LAW... [Law HA 1835 sect 72]
63
"Cycle Lanes. These are marked by a white line (which may be broken) along the carriageway (see Rule 140). Keep within the lane when practicable. When leaving a cycle lane check before pulling out that it is safe to do so and signal your intention clearly to other road users."
Yep, it's evident that hardly any cyclists have read this, but they know so much about what motorists should do.

There's a bit of history to that user. It's well worth following his comments around, he has a real angry head of steam up about camera cyclists "identifying" drivers. I take it as a sign of our success.

From his comments on other videos he does appear to be on a mission, a recently started one.

I suspect he's a troll we've had before under a number of different names. I pwned him rather nicely here though, twice.

I dont know this one but have left a reply because of his slanted, libelous attack on Mikey. I cant see anything in ANY of his comments where he can prove he knows what he is talking about. He wants "respect" but fails to understand the legal situation, the danger some of these drivers are representing towards others...

Not surprised he's been blocked.

• Yet another Ignorant cyclist getting in everybodys way. No wonder drivers can't stand cyclists. I wouldn't have blamed that guy if he had knocked you off.

• Ah yes, it must have been very frustrating that he wasn't able to wait in the queue at the lights for a few seconds longer. You're as thick as he is!

• The traffic queue is irrelevant. You should be further over to the left. Just because a crazy louphole in the law allows you to ride in the way of drivers, doesn't mean you should. I like to teach Ignorant cyclists who ride too far from the kirb, by getting in real close and then accelerating hard, giving it plenty of revs. Ignorant cyclist need the fear of christ putting into them every now and then to remind them whos in charge.

• Does bullying generally work for you as a lifeskill, like with wife or kids or workmates?
  CycleDub in reply to 10pTrixie 1 day ago
• If by bullying you mean, confident, dominant, commanding and assertive, Then yes.

Sorry for stereo-typing but a 27 year old with a Subaru Impreza

Funny that as I'd say to ride in primary on a bike you need to be "confident, dominant, commanding and assertive" and it usually happens for your own safety. His reasoning is clearly flawed and as you correctly point out is outright bullying and a perfect example of the "might is right" attitude. Have had a couple of encounters like this myself recently where drivers have taken exception to my positioning despite me not holding them up :-)

10ptrixie? Do you guys not delete and block the obvious trolls? I'm pretty sure it's one chap under repeated different usernames. Can't be bothered to waste much time or effort on these oxygen thieves.

I only delete and block if they actually use abusive language, swearing or direct threats. This is to avoid being accused of blocking people just because I disagree with them.
