Today's commute home
1 x car going straight through red (over 30 seconds after the lights changed) on a major road
1 x Car on same major road with no lights switched on
1 x Car turning right from the bottom of London Road HERE (car's view), through a bus gate and onto St Mary's gate. Taxis held up behind blasting horns so he spots a gap just after I'd passed and roars through with tyres squealing, god knows how the cyclist (well illuminated) behind me managed to avoid being roadkill, and lucky no-one was crossing on St Mary's gate on the green man
2 x Cars parked outside a takeaway HERE breaking 3 rules in 1 - (1) obstructing the pavement (2) on pedestrian crossing approach zig-zags (3) opposite a junction *
1 x Car pulling straight out in front of me from Wolesley Road despite my having more than adequate front lighting and introducing a slight weave into my path on the junction approach as a recommended technique to reduce the risk of such pull-outs due to the "looming" phenomenon
Of course the real menace on the road was the cyclist wearing hi-vis who as I passed I let him know that the batteries in his rear light were just about gone. Bloody hooligan - something wants doing about these cyclists before they kill someone, thinking that they are above the rules
* the spot where the 2 cars ae parked is getting a regular flashpoint for me. I have 2 videos on Youtube from that point and will probably collect more - just so long as it's only videos I collect!
