Mind how you go, lady.......


[Cyclists take to the middle of the road
and ride two-abreast in the street as they
take advantage of new Highway Code rules
which kick in today and also give
pedestrians priority at junction
The Highway Code has been updated
today with 50 new rules aimed at
protecting cyclists and pedestrians
Cyclists are now advised to ride
in the centre of lanes on quieter roads,
in slower-moving traffic
But there are concerns that millions
of drivers are unaware of the
major revamp of road safety rules.]

Ffs is that what was going on today? We were on a country road in the middle of nowhere and someone was doing this - I can now see doing it pointedly (we had no idea there was a change) - and the result was that he was riding right next to the centre line and not leaving enough space to pass with a safe distance. ****ing idiot.

Definitely. Stupid rules.

I prefer a walk.

As if cyclists were annoying enough already

[MTVN]

This basically makes every junction a zebra crossing as well then, no chance all drivers are going to be looking out for people waiting to cross and always stop for them

[LeatherTrumpet]

instead of mandating fluorescent wear for cyclists

which would save so many lives

[Toy Soldier]

"when a vehicle is approaching from behind, groups of cyclists are told they have a duty to allow a driver to overtake, for example by reverting to single file or stopping"

So Mr lycra prick yesterday in pompously trying to "show off" the new rules for cyclists was actually breaking the new rules himself and causing a hazard. Good job everyone.
