law to use cycle paths but ASL's are optional for bus and taxi
drivers.

I've considered printing out a few of the sections that the more
egregiously ignorant motorists need to understand, so I can just
stick
them in a window or under a wiper, the better to inform them of
their
error.

That's an idea.

And perhaps it would be an idea to have some printed copies of
Rule 168:

"... If a driver is trying to overtake you, maintain a steady
course and
speed, *slowing* *down* if necessary to let the vehicle pass. *Never*
*obstruct* drivers who wish to pass..."

Just like all the motorists didn't do in this vid.

[snip video URL unwatched]

*Everybody* should obey that one. That certainly includes lorry drivers
and cyclists.

So you 'think' you know what is in the video without watching it?

In context, you either:

(a) made that clear enough in your description (in which case the
contents of the video don't need to be seen for practical purposes), or

(b) you were talking out of some inappropriate orifice.

Which one was it?

I'll go along with whichever one of the two you choose.

You SHOULD watch that video.

I don't think so.

I have seen plenty of videos of terrible cycling and terrible driving.

I don't need to see more.


Someone else should cite this link in another thread.
Nugent only refuses to watch it because I posted it and 'He' is to childish to apologise whenever I prove 'Him' wrong.

Either it shows terrible cycling and/or driving or it doesn't.

Either you were right when you said "Just like all the motorists didn't
do [ie, drive with due consideration for other road-users] in this vid"
or you weren't.

But what does it matter? There are thousands - probably tens of
thousands - of videos of terrible driving and cycling out there on
YouTube and similar sites. Who needs to see more?

Apart from you, I mean (obviously).
