Cyclist theory test!

[Hip Priest]

A car overtakes too closely. Do you:

a) Shout "Oi!" and make a pushing-out gesture with your hand
b) Log the reg plate and report the driver
c) Tuck in behind and use the slipstream to slingshot past him, thus scooping a hard-earned KOM?

The quiz is too inaccurate to be anything other than laugh, hope its author knows the law really and move on...

Where, why and what the heck does that mean?

It is being "trialled" in Glamorgan

It means that although the SatNAv may send you that way it is unsuitable for HGVs

Hampshire uses this:

... and a bit more refined than some signs:

HGV drivers do not follow sat Nav.

follows the rules as set out in the traffic signs manual.

no 1 most definitely doesn't though. they have combined health and safety signage (prohibition) with road traffic signage where the diagonal bar means the prohibition shown no longer applies - something local authorities fail to install at the end of the prohibition. . there should not be words underneath to tell you what to do but there can be to clarify operation hours etc.

sometimes supplemented underneath with No Cycling . there is a short part of the Thames path at st Georges wharf that has these signs up . I cheerfully obey the sign and carry on riding.

That means radar speed check ahead - we use a picture of a Hasselblad camera in this country for the same thing.

Yep that was what we decided on in the end but given we were trying to cycle around the world in wasn't that relevant to us!

Pointless sign unless they translate it into most East european languages

Minor road joining main road, on the Left-hand side

The idea is that the sign is universal....

 

[classic33]

It's designed to be a wind up, see question 10.
Don't rise to it, or the trolls have won.

That's why (as proposed by a anti-cycling group) was included.
