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. |

It doesn't count just because the other person breaks some petty rule. That worked, then the male starting screeching at me. You screeched at him first. What do you expect? 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, He also failed to kick a dent in your door. 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.Â* 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.. Strange how drivers always seem to find the time to argue. |

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. 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. That worked, then the male starting screeching at me. So I stopped, keeping him and her on the island. 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? By this time he was screaming foul words at me, regardless of the general population. So you hear voices. I was very good and just drove away, knowing that I had wrecked his planet saving day.. Sad. |

Master butcher Jason Wells, no less. 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.†|
