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?


Done for you.

De cyclist wuz tak'n advantage o' a side piece o' road approach'n behind

'im ed de approach, not realis'n 'e would 'uv done a tuck, conveniently
stopped, so 'e tewk de opportunity ter bowl past and let de drivers
think they're 'eroes.

Wa' ay can't weerk out is why de two drivers dun spent so much time
stationary afti de cyclist 'ad disappeared. de lorry driver tewk 4
seconds ter get mov'n while de cammer tewk 8 seconds. de cammer driver
'ad let a massive gap develop ahead evun before de cyclist went past.
nah wonder thuz is so much congestion whun drivers spend de time navel
gaz'n (er lewk'n at twitface?)


Nugent is from Liverpool, English is it's second language.
The fact that something from Liverpool has mastered basic reading and writing is a miracle in itself.
