Rule 69
You MUST obey all traffic signs.


Not true - blue rectangular "cyclists dismount" signs have no power in law.

I'll let the two of you argue that one out between yourselves.

Simon's version does seem to reflect reality though - many cyclists do
not routinely obey the Highway Code.

And they don't have much display respect for the Road Traffic Acts
either, though they exhibit a fine show of indignity at the mere thought
of a driver taking anything like the same approach.
