I have no real issue with T.D each to their own etc.... BUT camera wise
...... That one out on a pole is positively dangerous its bouncing all over the place and nearly hitting cars that are doing perfectly legitimate overtakes.......I have no real issue with T.D each to their own etc.... BUT camera wise
how he's not been tugged by the Police for that pole i'll never know

Probably no specific law banning it. He has lights and a helmet so the police are happy.

[QUOTE 2986376, member: 30090"]How can you be in the 'incorrect lane' when there are no markings at the traffic lights? Look again at the rear facing camera. His signal to move right was given with plenty of time for the car to take their foot off the gas, he moves across and the car moves over behind him. Instead they try for an overtake which results in a left hook.
If you are trying to blame him for being in the wrong lane when there are no markings at the set of lights - then you are wrong.
If you are trying to blame him for signalling to move across because he is in the wrong lane - then you are wrong.
If you are trying to divert from what was a piece of crap driving - then you are even more wrong.[/QUOTE]
That's ok. As I didn't try to suggesting any of those.

[QUOTE 2986381, member: 30090"]WHAT???
How is he in a dangerous position? He is signalling to move right, he shoulder checks, makes his signal, but can't because some muppet has tried to overtake and move left at the same time in a car.
Are you seriously suggesting he is at fault for some way in what he did - all be it, what thousands of cyclists do every and that is shoulder check, signal, move.[/QUOTE]
The point here is that you should look at your own riding and see what you can do differently, perhaps you are doing something badly. TD has come across this same problem many times at this junction. He could easily avoid these issues if he used the correct lane from the start. Then he wouldn't need to change lanes.

I just watched the one where he whipped out the tape measure. The car seemed to be doing no harm, and all he has done is to alienate a driver. He appears to have mental health issues in my view

[QUOTE 2986701, member: 30090"]Or maybe motorists should give him room and allow him to move rather than overtake him.[/QUOTE]
No doubt the driving was poor. But he could completely avoid all of the issues he has had here by starting in a different lane. To me, and to many others, that makes sense.

[QUOTE 2986806, member: 1314"] I've seen those horses jump the reds before!
][/QUOTE]
Wow. It should be entered into the Horse of the Year show if it can jump over red lights. that's got to be at least 9 foot high.

I also talk to Wolf quite a lot on twitter. He, too, has his heart in the right place and has campaigned down Essex way for better infra and better policing. He also regularly challenges the misconceptions of motorists in his local paper... also the guy that attempted to point out Essex Constabulary stopping legal riders and lecturing them about others misbehaviour doesnt do much for Police support from the public.
