Maybe they should ban cyclists who cycle up the left side of a lorry. I had one do it to me on friday night. I only saw the top of his helmet at the very last moment and slammed on the brakes. I wound the window down and told him how dangerous it is, he just stared at me, then cycled off, where 50 yards down the road he hopped on the pavement to avoid the traffic lights which had turned red
I had a driver have a go at me for this............ Muppet
There is a cycle lane that leads to lights and junction with an ASL
After ten years I know that if the Trafic is moving form the right it is safe to move into the ASL. If the traffic is moving from the main road on the left it is safe to move into the ASL
However once the traffic starts moving from the side road then the time is limited and tucking into the traffic is the safe bet
But to be called a suicidal ****head by a muppet who thinks that no-one must ever move past hos left side ever is unacceptable
An email and then video to the company asking why the driver was so unaware of the law and reality got a supportive response, so hopefully the driver now realises that:
1. There are times and places where this manoeuvre is safe
2. Where there is a cycle lane it is HIS responsibility to make sure it is clear before turning
