Should cyclists be made to keep off narrow roads?

[Nigelnaturist]

Absolutely right - large vehicles NEVER cause problems on narrow roads?


If a road is too narrow for a car to pass a cyclist safely then it is far too narrow for two cars to pass, and the delay in a vehicle reversing to a passing poit is often longer than it takes to pass a cycle making this a greater problem.

These roads should either be closed to traffic or made one way.

Drivers of large vehicles, anyway should there not be a width warning like in low bridges, I have been expected to make deliveries in places you wouldn't imagine.

No - BUT they can act responsibly. Is it asking so much to wave a car past when you feel ok for them to pass. They have deadlines to meet and places to go just the same as you do. Bicycles DO NOT have any more right of way than motorists and just because many drivers are ars---es doesn't mean you have to be one too.

I think a lot of problem in a lot of cases, particularly parcel deliveries is that drivers are given impossible tasks. As a Panorama programme highlighted When they found drivers being given 8 hours to do 14 hours work. Foreign lorry drivers are being hired because they will break the law forcing everyone else to do the same.
