"cyclists stay back" stickers, tfl

[fossyant]

Saw an A4 sized sticker on a Corsa van tonight. Almost as big as the car.

Wherever they have a sticker on the back of a vehicle they should have one in the cab for the driver that says:

Cyclists or pedestrians may be alongside or in your blindspot. Take care.

maybe i need a custom jersey made up in the same style on the back but just saying 'vehicles stay back' or 'vehicles pass wide'
might actually work? or would i get a load of angry offended motorists shouting that i think i own the road etc?
Cheers Ed

I was thinking a vest like horseriders have: CAUTION, YOUNG HORSE IN TRAINING

CAUTION, YOUNG-AT-HEART CYCLIST IN PROGRESS?

Is there a prize?

Three fractured ribs, a broken tibia and a bruised spleen after you spent so long reading ALL THE DAMN SIGNS on the back of the lorry that you rode into it whilst it turned.

Of course

Hmm, I don't like the sound of that.

I almost bought one of those road.cc ''cyclists stay awesome'' but, while I like the sentiment, I don't particularly like the wording - I think I prefer ''cyclists stay cycling''. Does anybody know how much it would cost to get to get stickers printed? Or can you buy the sticky-backed plastic for domestic printing?

I've spent so much time driving this year and watching cyclists cycle past that I'd like an ''I'd rather be on my bike'' one on the back.

Or ''Cyclists think out of the box'' /alternatively, if that's too obscure, ''Cyclists think ''Out of the Box!'''

I'm having to catch the bus to work at the minute, due to injuries. Really hacks me off watching all the cyclists wizz by! I'd most definitely rather be on my bike.

Nominate you to find out!! Remember to report back....

Ha! Of course - you're a worse nominee that I'd be myself - we need to find a willing/coerce-able Londoner for preference.

Is it true that if you drive your car into a M&S lorry and you don't like it they'll give you a different one?

I don't know, but if you try to pass a John Lewis lottery on the left you'll find out it's impossible. They're never knowingly undertaken

I wouldn't get that close to one, haven't you seen the warning stickers? :-)

They tend to be a bit out of reach on lorries and are a decent (could get off with a hairdryer, a bit harder with finger nails) looking adhesive so I wouldn't want to try (even if it was a sensible suggestion). Also, you don't tend to be around them long. Much easier to just stick another message across the top. "Driver Ignorant" would be my favourite non-sweary one.

I think it's a question of creeping up to a parked one - stealth is the key!

I'm liking "Driver Ignorant" as an addition. Heh.

I don't know but I'm prepared to try. If I get the surface really clean there must be some cleaning material that'll do it. Alternatively, I could stick something on over the muck.

Tempted to get some of these tidied up and printed.
