Default It beggars belief just how stupid and reckless cyclists are

Slower traffic is supposed to get out of the way of faster traffic,
or so we are told.


The cyclist was taking advantage of a clear piece of road approaching
behind the cammer and would have been ready to tuck in behind it. The
drivers saw him on the approach, not realising he would have done a
tuck, conveniently stopped, so he took the opportunity to go past and
let the drivers think they're heroes.

What I can't work out is why the two drivers then spent so much time
stationary after the cyclist had disappeared. The lorry driver took 4
seconds to get moving while the cammer took 8 seconds. The cammer driver
had let a massive gap develop ahead even before the cyclist went past.
No wonder there is so much congestion when drivers spend the time navel
gazing (or looking at Twitface?).


Is there a convenient website which could translate that into English?
