On reflection, there was no point in asking you to acknowledge such
concepts. Your belief is that cyclists must be allowed to do as they
please.

I believe the Laws of Physics are quite strict about what happens if
road users try to do as they please.

That may mean something. It might not. It's not worth puzzling over.

Besides, nobody has yet to answer my question why the event descibed
should bother them.

You didn't read the OP?

I did.

In that case, you (now) know that the cyclist committed an offence. And
it was just about the most basic and long-standing offence on the
Statute Book when it comes to traffic law.

You made your "scofflaw" allegation which needed justifying.

Was there ever any doubt that it was more than justified?

Other than to people who don't accept that the law says you must keep
left of oncoming trafic (as well as cycling considerately, etc) I mean,
obviously.

We finally
got there (which must be a ukrc record) - even though the rule is
riddled with exceptions, which we have already covered, which makes it a
matter of judgement to the road user and opinion by the onlooker.

A cyclist may hold the "opinion" that he or she is allowed to cycle on
the RHS of the road. Such an opinion is mistaken. Failing to pass to
(the cyclist's) left of oncoming traffic is an offence. That isn't a
matter which falls to be decided by opinion.

I then asked why anybody needed to be bothered about such a scenario.
Given the lack of response, apart from the usual one of Pounder going
back to the playground and you misunderstanding th question, I take it
that it isn't perceived to be an issue so we can put it to bed.

I have misunderstood no question, though I treated one of yours as
irrelevant and not worthy of dignifying with an answer.

You, OTOH, show signs of not understanding - or accepting - that using
the RHS of the road in the face of oncoming traffic is an offence.

Of course, if it were an Audi driver doing it, that would be Completely
Different [TM].
