Only if she covers herself with cameras and flashing lights. Oh, and a Selfie Cam on a barge pole...

[QUOTE 3025716, member: 30090"]You're missing the point. The Op was a direct attack on an individual - this is what I have an issue with. His vids are neither here or there in this respect.
If you care to share a link regarding what videos you think are poor I'll be happy to look over them.[/QUOTE]
I'm not sure I agree that asking if the forum considers Traffic Droid 'annoying' constitutes a direct attack, but if you consider it such then fair enough.
Apparently he has taken his videos down so I can't provide any links, which is a shame because I could have given many examples to support my thoughts on his cycling.
Have you reported the thread?

[QUOTE 3025734, member: 30090"]It's implied in his question that he thinks he is annoying-which is a direct attack. And what follows are snide remarks which serve no purpose at all.
And I tagged Shaun early on in the thread and I'm dissapointed that this thread has not been closed[/QUOTE]
There are some snide remarks which is unfortunate, but there is also plenty of valid criticism and concern.
So you've not reported it? Perhaps if you did it would be considered for closure.

Sorry I disagree finding someone annoying is not a direct attack IMO . I find d many ppl annoying and I tell them as such , its not an attack its an opinion and I'd soon er them know than not know .
Traffic droid may supply good video footage of legitimate problems , but again I will say there's better ways to go about it . Selfie can has been mentioned and I see no point to this other than to be annoying and dangerous also it has been mentioned on here before that he gets it wrong too correct me if I'm wrong but did t he ban a few after they pointed out a lane issue .

I think that's why he blocked me. I became unblocked when YT did some updates though.
I have been critical of his lane positioning on several of his videos, mainly the ones at Westminster Square and one where he went down the inside of a tipper/skip lorry sounding the Droid horns and barged through across a ped crossing when he couldn't have seen if there was someone in front of the lorry. He posted that as an example of bad driving by the lorry driver, which IMHO was poor, but not dangerous. He has never acknowledged my criticism which I think shows that he posts for praise and not to have people point out how he could avoid these situations in the future.
He also calls out drivers for crossing the "Advanced stop line" when there isn't one, just an ordinary single line.
His latest complaint against drivers is to wave his measuring stick at four wheeled vehicle that stops "too close" behind him at traffic lights.

[QUOTE 3024936, member: 30090"]And the only times I have defended him as you put it, was when people were saying that he was in the wrong lane puling away from a set of traffic lights when he as not. [/QUOTE]
If you need to change lanes just after setting off from some traffic lights, are you not in the incorrect lane?
Let us ask our selves another question, if the TD saw a motorist who changed lanes as soon as they set off from some traffic lights, would he think they were in the wrong lane before hand?

Care to explain why you disagree that changing lanes shortly after a set of traffic lights that you were stationary at means you were in the incorrect lane?

[QUOTE 3026463, member: 30090"]It's the tone in which the OP was set out.[/QUOTE]
The 'tone'?
I'm not sure it's possible to set a mood in 6 words (8 if you include the title). If it is, we should be hailing Mr. Soup as the next Chaucer.

I've just double checked your posts. Couldn't see anything which would have sufficiently answered my question, your previous comments were a bit open where as my question is a bit more restricted. Apologies for inconveniencing you.
