Cyclists just will not read or obey the highway code
 

and immediately start screaming foul language, rather than address the
issue.

I hooted as I approached a zebra crossing so that the two fast moving
cyclists would not attempt to cycle straight off the centre island.
That worked, then the male starting screeching at me. So I stopped,
keeping him and her on the island. I pointed out that it was a
pedestrian crossing, not a cycling crossing, he failed to counter by
saying that there was a cycle path leading to the crossing, I pointed
out again that he should push his bicycle over the crossing and that
there was no cycle path where he was crossing to. By this time he was
screaming foul words at me, regardless of the general population.

I was very good and just drove away, knowing that I had wrecked his
planet saving day..

I have yet to see a cyclist dismount and push their silly little means of
transport across a zebra crossing.
These people really are scum.

I have seen such a thing, but it is so rare that it really should be in
the news.

Had you run into them what would your defense be? It doesn't count just
because the other person breaks some petty rule.

You screeched at him first. What do you expect?

He also failed to kick a dent in your door.

he should push his bicycle over the crossing and that there was no cycle
path where he was crossing to.Â* By this time he was screaming foul words

Strange how drivers always seem to find the time to argue.

Indeed - they are in SO much of a hurry all of the time AND YET, have all the time in the world to argue the toss.

I have seen such a thing, but it is so rare that it really should be in
the news.

In London a few years ago, a couple (the very right on sort - the family
that saves the planet together stays together, etc) were waiting to
cycle across a zebra crossing on the exit from a roundabout. They
clearly thought it was merely a matter of my registering them to
immediately stop at the line and afford them priority.

Did that happen? Well, as many would say where I come from, "did it ****e".

I carried on as though I was not obliged to stop for them, which, of
course, I absolutely wasn't.

You *should* have seen their faces.

Illegal, the horn is to alert other road users to your presence.

Illegal, Obstructing the Queens Highway.

I pointed out that it was a
pedestrian crossing, not a cycling crossing, he failed to counter by
saying that there was a cycle path leading to the crossing, I pointed
out again that he should push his bicycle over the crossing and that
there was no cycle path where he was crossing to.

What law was the cyclist breaking?

So you hear voices.

Sad.

The moronists are confused. They think "do not" means "MUST NOT". Rule 79.

Cycling on a footway.

At least he said sorry.

Speaking to the Richmond and Twickenham Guardian about the incident yesterday, Mr Wells said that he "would like to apologise for any offence caused"..

“My behaviour was unacceptable and regardless of the situation, I shouldn’t react like that," he said.

******“I fully appreciate that cyclists have as much right to the road as any other road users.****** EMPHASIS MINE.

“I will be making no further comment at this time.�
