Was out last night in my car, due to under use the brake discs had rusted a bit and were causing a noise so I stripped it, cleaned it and went for a test drive, was driving along the main road, its dark, not that well lit and there were tress, the car in front lunged left and hooted as a ninja on a bike appeared, now there is a cycle lane and he was in it, the car was over to the left but not in it but due to the width of the cycle lane it meant the driver was quite close before he realised, it made me jump and move over as I hadnt seen him either, I slowed down, windows was already down as was listening for brake type noises and shouted "GET SOME LIGHTS" to the cyclist, litterally he was all but invisible, dressed in black, long dark hair, nothing at all to aid visibility.
Was I being agressive, do you think he would take any notice, it really annoys me as a driver as potentially he could have caused an accident and not just hurt himself depending on who swerves to avoid him, but also as a cyclist as those who dont just lump idiots like that as a cyclist and treat the rest of us accordingly.
What is the penalty for cycling without lights after dark ?
