Idiots on bikes

[ianrauk]

I couldn't see all the black cars with no lights on the road this morning. I kept wondering what I was bumping into all the rime.

Are the "I saw an invisible thing!" threads getting earlier this year?

You want to get that tree sorted, mate, before it jumps out in front of some poor innocent passing motorist and writes their car off.

Hey I remember when I was about 17, I was running down my back street and a telegraph pole jumped out on me and I ran smack into it*











I may or may have partaken of lots of very strong and unsuitable alcoholic beverages prior to this. So much so that my mum cooked me a full breakfast the following day.

I reckon there ought to be a law making cars have lights so that the driver can see the road in front of them when it's dark.

Last night I saw two cars driving without lights after dark, during the morning I saw 3 cyclists doing the same.

I did also see a cyclist using red lights both front and rear.

Was he riding a PushmePullyou though?

How will the powers that be explain 'accidents' when everyone is wearing hi-viz?

 

[Subotai72]

I don't know why you even bothered @Justinslow there's always someone on here willing to make an argument where none exists.

I saw a guy riding along the main road near work yesterday wearing dark clothing, no hi-vis and no front light. He did have a rear light. And when I say saw, him it was was much later than if he'd had a front light. Had I arrived to seconds earlier I might well have hit him when turning into the car park I saw him that late.

Are the "I saw an invisible thing!" threads getting earlier this year?

Or the "I was/wasn't blinded by a really bright light thread"?

 

[Justinslow]

How will the powers that be explain 'accidents' when everyone is wearing hi-viz?

But surely "common sense" and self preservation should at least prevail?

 

[earlestownflya]

I was in the park the other day and I saw a tree with quite dark bark and it wasn't wearing any hi-viz or lights and definitely no reflectors, so I've written to the council to complain. I mean, how are we expected to know it's there? It's a health and safety nightmare I tell you. And a park bench.

typical mickle bullshit

 

[glenn forger]

Drivers declare that they saw an unlit cyclist in the same manner that a toddler declares he's done a poo. Know what the hi-vis non-compliance rate is among fallen trees? SHOCKING, that's what.

Bit radical that!!

 

[Hip Priest]

That's nothing. I crashed into 46 parked cars on my way to work this morning.

 

[glenn forger]

Sometimes unlit cyclists go past so fast it triggers my epilepsy.

 

[Justinslow]

That's nothing. I crashed into 46 parked cars on my way to work this morning.

Did you not have your lights on?
