how come it is always drivers of the smallest cars that give you the least amount of space or cut you up the most often?
that and a couple on the new minis - the only other contender for a close pass was a VW golf that I very nearly ran into the back of after it overtook me coming up to a set of traffic lights that were on red and left me little room to stop. got the driver seriously worried about their paint workFunny you should mention that. I had one of those Smart hairdryer cars pass me very close today.

I had a 107, same as the C1 - you gotta really try hard to run out of fuel in a car that does over 60 mpg no matter how hard you thrash it!
Small cars. That reminds of my ride home this evening...
Rush hour and I'd stopped at the lights and saw a new Citroen C1 stopped in the opposite direction, emergency lights on, blocking all the traffic. Felt sorry for the driver so after ummin and erring I finally decided to turn round and ask the driver if everything was OK. Spoke to her partner in the front passenger seat "We've run out of petrol and need to get off the road". So he and I pushed the car up the kerb - gave him directions to the nearest petrol station.
They were grateful and the traffic started to flow again, too! Job done.
OK - mostly but not sometimes. Yesterday and all of last week it was well over 75% of the people who cut me up, although on the whole they do seem to give me more room when I am not wearing my hi-viz top! And the "there is room" err - not when they are close enough for the wing mirror to hit my clothes (good thing my top is a size too big; that one was too close for my liking).I drive a small car (as well as a white van), so your assertion requires adjustment please! I know what you mean however as when the old minis were common I often heard a car approaching and thought he can't be going to pass here, there's no room . And then you realise it's a mini and there is room.. Those car really are small by modern standards. Naah! You just forget that you have to put fuel in now and then.

often renders the car illegal - there is a maximum tint level allowed for the windscreen and front windows.I don't seem to have a problem with small cars, it's the big ones that cost north of £35,000 that trouble me. Does the window tinting render cyclists invisible?
It's not the window tinting it's the 'I'm the centre of the universe and nothing else matters' attitude!I don't seem to have a problem with small cars, it's the big ones that cost north of £35,000 that trouble me. Does the window tinting render cyclists invisible?
