Shut it or I'll break your bones.....

Yesterday, according to my friend who was sat back a bit, a fellow reached over from the passenger seat across his muttering wife at the wheel to sound their car horn repeatedly at me. I was in the wrong lane - we all make little mistakes, but wait a second - I'm fixing it! Peace man!

Driver makes mistake
Cyclist shouts at driver
Driver gets annoyed and shouts back

An every day tale of cycling folk

The fact is though Liz - Is that the driver SHOULD NOT make a mistake !

They are sitting on their fat backside/s, observing everyone (as they just love to and don't we know it)...if and when I drive (which I dont) - to make a mistake is a total and criminal act.

As per the driving position - how easy can it be....

Drivers have to it far to easy !

I had a motorist pull up beside me at lights to ask: "Which lane are you in?" to which I replied: "This one.", before going peacefully on my way.

Agree with the last line 100%

Drivers never to make a mistake - nice target (but it will never be reached whilst humans are involved.)

I don't have a fat backside! :-(
Thought it was quite pert and muscular really.

Drivers should know that they carry a responsibility to everyone they're approaching. They are responsible for their own actions and the effect on others, and have a shared responsibility to avoid incident or compensate if someone does something daft/wrong/accidental ahead of them.

The problem is no-one teaches this responsibility.

We're left with the might-is-right free for all that everyone posts about on here. You see every day the zero tolerance rage of people who require everything to be everyone else's responsibility. Even worse you see the new kid in his Clio let loose on the big grown up playground - one of my pet hates.

I cycle and I drive. I love both. One makes me more aware of how I should behave around the other.

A 4x4 nearly killed me on the MTB yesterday. An attempt to overtake on a blind, narrow, steep climbing hairpin messed up by the fact that someone came the other way. Swerved to within 6 inches of my leg.

I'd never put myself in his position with my car because I have a brain, and I know what to do around a cyclist.

Are you saying I'm the same as the asswipe in the 4x4?

Just reach inside... Nick their keys and throw them into the ditch. Thats what I did once.
