I thoroughly agree with you Don.

Perhaps those that answer that roundabouts are in fact race tracks could be forced to re-take their driving test!!

But peds cross roads so are technically road users. What would the test be for horses ??

In Sheff M'cyclists are in legally. Its not till becoming a cyclist I actually got and read a HC since passing my test. 20 years. Guess I wasn't that unusual - I see loads of drivers that don't understand cycle lanes, advance stop lines, red lights, speed limits......

Donnymac - you may be genuine, if so bear with us.

One of our number has come under fire recently by people who don't like their cr4p driving highlighted on Utube. We're expecting some cyberstalking trolls to appear.

It seems the timing of your appearance may have aroused some suspicion.

Hi don. I assume you have had a run in with a lousy motorist or perhaps a scooter rider (blo0dy nuisance in London I have to say - no consideration whatsoever for the human powered cyclists like you and me.)
Tell us what leads you to promote this interesting idea - there are many reasonable voices on here with informed comment; I'm sure they can help you.

Welcome.

Easy, Tiger!

Give the new guy a chance!

Indeed, the HC is relevant to peds, cyclists, horse riders, motorists and motorcyclists

I think it would be to correctly identify this road sign.

I do - its called MIDAS and everyone who drives a minibus not-for-profit has do do so (or similar). Anyway, Don, you seem to be assuming that the people who cycle can't/don't drive. I prefer not to, as the health & well-being benefits are enormous, as is the sense of satisfaction gained from getting places under my own steam. However, there are occasions when I have to use my Impreza, or the missus's V70, or the camper......

All of which are taxed

A waste of time and money.
