andyfromotley said:I used to RLJ all the time. I believe it safe and prudent to do so. Furthermore i have proved (by FOI requests) that police action (particularly by the CoLP) against RLJ is unfair, disproportionate and quite frankly ludicrous.
However, i dont now simply because some people on here have convinced me that my doing so may result in them being placed in danger by making motorists think less of cyclists. They may be right or wrong, but as theyre nice people i dont want to risk it.
Longers said to me on a ride the other week, 'you want to be treated like traffic, you have to act like traffic' and it seemed a sensible take. So somewhat reluctantly, i dont RLJ.
ditto, I am a convert too, but I have actually experienced better behaviour from other road sharers as a result, so I'm possibly not quite as reluctant as you
