Do you think the Highway Code is suggesting you go faster on cycle lanes? have you considered cycle training?
So the driver yelled at someone doing nothing wrong and demanded he use a more dangerous facility.
there is that section, that runs a full 0.8 miles.
The DfT has an excelent "Code of conduct for cyclists"The following key messages are suggested as the basis for a code of conduct notice for cyclists. The code could be posted at points of entry and at intervals along the route. This will be especially useful when the facility is new.
* * If a feature segregating cyclists from pedestrians is present, keep to the cyclist’s side. This will be indicated on blue and white road signs and by cycle logos on the surface.
* * Ride on the left hand side of the area available to you. If you need to overtake another cyclist, give a gentle ring on your bell or say ‘Excuse me’.
* * When coming up behind pedestrians, always pass them at a safe distance, and slowly enough so that you could avoid them if they made a sudden change in direction.
* * Ride at a sensible speed for the situation and ensure you can stop in time. As a general rule, if you want to cycle quickly, say in excess of 18 mph/30 kph, then you should be riding on the road.
The Highway Code is clear, unless you think their reference to experience means they think children and nervous cyclists should use the road?
Good job you've no axe to grind.....Why didn't the filth tell her they couldn't and wouldn't do anything? This is what generally happens if a cyclist reports that a car driver / moton has tried to or actually driven into one of us. She is clearly wasting police time. They could be doing something so much more constructive like cooking the crime figures, making false statements, excepting bungs or even killing people - RIP Ian Tomlinson or all those that lost their lives at Hillsborough.
