So why ask for it in the first place? Work with me here, Mike, I'm sure there's some profound insight you're attempting to conveyYeah, it certainly wouldn't advance your "debate"

Yup and that confirms your selfish opinion, in regard to other cyclists as it is the drivers view that puts all our lives at risk.

At last !It's a reasonable argument but the fault is not with cyclecraft or the cyclists following it, it's with the drivers who don't understand why and assume it must be antagonistic. The same could be said about riding two abreast, filtering (aka "queue jumping"), or just about any other cycle-specific maneouvre that the driver doesn't understand, and it's with the driver for assuming the cyclist is reckless/selfish, not with the cyclist for riding in a way that could be misinterpreted as such. You might, from self-preservation, wish to avoid provoking drivers int he same way as you might wish to avoid walking alone at night through rough areas, but if you don't and if they take "revenge", it is quite definitely them to blame and not you.
tl;dr "he brought it on himself"/"she was asking for it" is not an excuse for retaliatory bad behaviour, and doubly so when the victim was doing it (whatever "it" is) for a perfectly good reason
We've already shown how cyclecraft, and my riding for that matter, is not selfish. Perhaps you can give over now, you lost that point comprehensively some pages back on this topic. How about your riding and approach? Is it safe and sharing of the road?
Is this still about RLJ'ing or has it got personal?!?!
Er, no. The law exists whether it's enforced or not. I have quoted the relevant legislation: you can check for yourself if you doubt my word, but you do not need a case report to confirm that it's a real law.If you want your point about legality to be valid, then you'll have to show that someone was fined for wrongly entering an ASL. Can't do it, then go back to playing with your keyboards.
Your mastery of ten-year-old internet memes is impressive as always. Would you like to include a picture of a kitten with a speech bubble in your next post?KTHXBAI.
It is/was!Is it about RLJ'ing ?
I do that too - had too many instances of motorists thinking they can get through a gap that's not there and squeezing me into the curb / which is as dangerous as RLJ'ing - I do it as a personal safety thing!Someone was banging on about me being a bad boy taking primary at a pinch point, not a red light in sight.

There are people on here who play devils advocate just for the sake of winding other people up. Ignore them. Your safety is more important and anyones life is worth more than a couple of seconds of motorists time.I got abuse for keeping primary through pinch points. I got abuse in comments on one of my videos for keeping primary so i didn't get doored.
RLJ'rs are free thinkers yeh? the rest of us sheeple just can't "think for ourselves".
