Is what I got asked after signalling to some flat bed small lorry driver to give more room.
I knew the overtake was coming so it didn't really bother me, but it was about 10 seconds before a roundabout (where I caught him up) and pretty close so I did a push out signal.
As I cruised up to the roundabout he opened his window to ask. I told him to read the highway code as it's the same as a car. He then blamed me for not gutter hugging....if I want more room, get closer to the kerb .
He claimed to have given me a meter which I think was a bit of a generous assumption. As we were outside the Police station my parting words were we could go in there if he fancied discussing it further ...I'm sure they'd of had a copy of the highway code lying around somewhere.
It's a shame there wasn't more traffic on the roundabout so we could of continued our chat. I'm sure he hasn't realised that he could of waited behind me quite happily without taking any longer. Neither of us were aggressive or rude about it, it's just a shame he is still ignorant to the needs of cyclists.
