Telegraph Cycling Quiz re Rules of the Road

[Alex H]

The comments were more entertaining than the quiz

7 for me, got the reflector, lighting up time and the riding near the kerb one wrong, should of known that one.

9/10 - the pavement one got me, because the answer is slightly simplistic (from what I know of the law - largely the summary on the Bikehub site - at least).

Don'y buy their lighting up time answer, which strikes me as nonsense, and appears, as someone says above, to be based on a CTC statement rather than the law. I'll continue to believe that the answer I gave is the correct one (and applies, moreover, not only to cyclists but also to motorists), and will therefore award myself 10/10! Well done me!

I think I got it right just because I read it on the CTC site. I was going to tick "when the street lamps go on" then remembered the CTC thing.

9/10. Bit about points on driving licence for going through a red light is rubbish.

9/10 I fell down on the What counts for night time ... and fail to see how the correct answer could be 6 pm to 6 am. As I don't cycle normally at those times I apparently don't need lights!!!! Where as I can't see at 4:30 pm at the moment and would rather that motorists had a bit of help in seeing me!

I am not sure what these two are doing, but it looks a bit "naughty"

Where I grew up, we'd call this "giving a dink"

Doesn't really make it any better, does it?

In Chrome, you can choose to block cookies from a particular site, so no need to explicitly clear cookies. I expect Firefox does the same.

On the other hand, you could just stop reading it.

9/10. Another one to get the one about the sun wrong.

I stopped at this point, it's called a croggy.

Miss Goodbody suggested something similar when I was having difficulties with a particular website. Could've sworn she said "custard" though.

I was speaking with a policeman today and he agreed with me that that answer was definitely wrong! So I'm giving myself 100%
