Pet Hates on the road!

People who don't put their lights on or only put their side lights on when it's dark or raining heavily. Most of the time it's teenage girls or old guys.who are probably saving 10 pence a year,by not doing so. Those who drive with day lights on in the night. It should be an offence not to put lights in bad weather conditions

On the flip side of that people who put their lights on when its not even dark.

Inseficient lighting in certain weather conditions is a motoring offence as is having wrong lighting in good conditions ( rear fog lights) with no fog or rain

Most modern cars have auto lighting that is activated on ignition, eg volvo

Um yeah, thanks for that.

Your welcome
Bain of my life wrong lighting when driving, as i travel on country rds mostly forever getting blinded by lights.

Haha

I know what you mean, its a pain ib the arse, I have had to pull over before now some lights have been that bright.

Bloody dangerous considering width of the roads! While I am at it on same roads people driving at 40+ mph heading straight for you without slowing down despite not knowing if it's wide enough to pass safely!

people who loose their temper over menial things and react more aggressively than they would do so in any other situation because they know they can drive off. I believe they are cut from the same cloth as keyboard warriors.

Drivers who don't realise that the Highway Code allows cyclists to cycle 2 abreast because it's safer.

Drivers who swing to the right when turning left, and vice versa.

Drivers who don't leave enough room when over taking cyclists.

Taxi drivers who 'park' half in the space and half in the road.

Bus drivers who don't use the bus lane on North Road.

the its safer bit is personal opinion?. it actually says not more than 2 abreast and single file on busy or narrow roads and around bends which suggests single file is not only safer but helps with the.be considerate to other road users {eg the 4 mile queue behind you }.

What would be quicker to overtake? 8 cyclists in a single line (20 metres in length), 8 cyclists 2 abreast (10 metres) or 2 cars ? If you leave the recommended amount of space then I'd suggest it's the 2nd option.

if roads were the width of runways id go for number 4. 8 cyclists 8 abreast.but they arnt. the 1st one should be the answer but finding 8 cyclists that have enough consideration and common sense to leave sensible gaps is just about imposible.
the highway code spells it out in simple terms. you just have to read the WHOLE sentence
NEVER RIDE MORE THAN 2 ABREAST. {not the made up by team wiggins version of ride 2 abreast for safety reasons}.AND RIDE IN.. SINGLE ..FILE ON BUSY OR NARROW ROADS AND WHEN RIDING AROUND BENDS {as recomended in the cycling proficiency most of us did in primary school. common sense is the same for children as adults btw}. so you can ride 2 abreast if the road is straight,wide and quiet {good luck finding those roads infact let us all know where they are.

and btw any vehicle that has length needs to swing right to turn left this includes many modern large vans. its not an excuse for a fluorescent cockroach lookalike on a bike to undertake it.{this is in the highway code as well.

Every wiggins wannabe comes to south Pembrokeshire in july/Aug to practice for iron man Wales in sept! Now that is a nightmare for motor vehicles, cyclists don't have a clue what highway code looks like never mind read it!!

I'm not disagreeing with you btw.

You can't drive on the roads without lessons experience and passing a test, yet ant Tom Dick or Harry can buy a bike and go on the road. Only last night I was driving home and was stuck behind 5 kids on bikes, all pulling wheelies, no lights or helmets weaving all over the road. The roads in this country are a nightmare for everyone- badly designed badly maintained and basically not user friendly. Everyone should be more tolerant of other users needs.
As for swinging out to turn - I'm talking about piddly little cars not lorries

Sat at a roundabout waiting to pull out cars turn off left don't indicate and leave sat there like a knob.
Also people that don't indicate right on a roundabout and expect you to have guessed which way they are going .
Everything else I can manage but those to things really piss me off bad .
Just flick the switch not hard is

its not all cyclists , i was getting at a certain group, mostly middle aged who have probably driven motor vehicles for years.groups who ride at least 2 abreast that make overtaking them impossible.my view is it creates frustration and frustration costs lives. i agree with what you said about our roads, agree with the think bike campaign but also think a campaign aimed at these lycra clad old farts is overdue. and the police pulling a few over for a talking to wouldnt go a miss either

I'd say this piece of unwise information in the Highway Code does not take into account the pent up frustration of drivers held up by the cycling procession and the chance it creates of some, admittedly foolhardy, dash to overtake on the wrong side of the road at inappropriate locations and risking the lives of all the cyclists, let alone the occupants of the vehicles. This is an ever present risk. I think although it may take longer to pass say 8 cyclists rather than 4, the extra room created actually reduces the potential for accidents.

Of course the safest solution would be to ban cycles from roads and to keep them on dedicated bike paths. Huge, speeding trucks and flimsy cycles don't mix. I say this as someone who regularly uses a mountain bike and I rarely encounter problems with traffic.

MAMILAC's (Middle Age Men In Lycra Are-Cunts). These ridiculous looking mid-life crisis pricks need to grow up. If you saw your child riding in the places and in the manner these cock-suckers do you'd give them the bollocking of their life. I have written to the government recommending that the law be changed where they can be legally shot for sport from passing cars. Two-Wheeled Twats. Happy Christmas.

Well I dont think I drop into that category as im not even 40 till the end of january and I'm actually fit!

I got stuck behind an absolute bellend of a cyclist on the coast road between Sidmouth and Lyme Regis a few years ago. two lane road very quiet and he's in the middle of it, I sat behind him at first at a safe distance very patiently thinking he'll realize I'm here in a minute and move over but no, he clocks me, looks over his shoulder and starts trying to pedal faster but stay's bang in the middle of this two lane road. Absolute moron, when I could eventually overtake him safely by driving on the other side of the road the cheeky c**t puts his hand in the air and gives me a look as if to say how dare you overtake me, f*cking clown of the highest proportions.
