No, it was phrased as a question. You've said that you don't think that such close overtaking is too close, so I've put it to you that it is important to take a step back and assess whether you're asking others to live by your own (erroneous) assumption. Fair question. Answer it please.
No one hinted anything; if you're overtaking that closely then you're endangering cyclists. In encouraging such close overtaking when you're on your bike you are, for no real gain, increasing your own risk. We know you're doing the latter, and to be honest I don't care so much. It follows though that you should assess whether you're overtaking as closely as you're happy being overtaken, and your comment about 'sometimes' crossing in to the other lane does imply otherwise. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
I note that you haven't actually answered that question, despite multiple rants about being asked it.
I didnt answer it because as usual,you assumed ,and didnt even know the answer to it,before passing judgment.Your insulting way with words,is enough to try the patience of a saint.And all your ranting about wether i leave enough room while overtaking,is based on your wrong assumption,and you grilling me on that very question,is making something out of nothing,as usual,just like your excuse of,if your overtaking too closely,and you hinted nothing?well if you tell me my judgement is poor ,on only your assumption that i dont leave enough space when i pass a cyclist,what else would you call it?actually i was wrong,it wasnt a hint,you made the statement,on nothing more than your own opinion.Your obviously trolling here,what other reason would there be for your so detailed interogation type questions,?
Oh i forgot to point out,that i only pass if it s safe too.And as someone who has driven probably more hours on busy roads,than you have, as well as doing it for a living,i feel im slightly more clued up on what would be safe and not safe,to do in a vehicle,when approaching slower vehicles. Could you tell me what your qualifications are,as to why you seem to feel able to question me in this manner?
And i have only said i havnt been scared or felt in danger at being passed ,also that three and a half feet,was from your link.And i have been passed probably that close,but not felt threatened by it,its reality,a lot of cars do pass that close,if you cant deal with reality,then you shouldnt be there.
Again,list your qualifications,please?
And a safe pass to me is half a lane between me and the bike,depending on the situation.But then im probably wrong there too.
