Ok cyclists - is this reasonable behaviour?
I was sitting at some lights on the A22 (not exactly a minor road) when a
couple on a Tandem come past and stop. Not to the side, oh no. They stop right bang in front of me. Unsurprisingly when the lights go green me and all the traffic behind are now slooowly accelerating to a heady speed of 15mph and its only when I hammer the horn that these pair of ******* move over and I look in the mirror and the bloke at the front is laughing. I was sorely tempted to slam on the brakes and see how funny he thought it was then. So what gives? Not content with getting in the way on side roads some of you people now think you have to block the main roads too to feel safe because you voluntaritly choose a dangerous mode of transport? B2003 |

B2003 Why did the driver's laughter rattle you so much? Not the driver behind , the guy on the bike. B2003 Ah! sorry, misunderstood. start the car Mabel! Bod |

Slamming on the brakes in front of a cyclist is not realy acceptable either. HTH (but I doubt it will). |

I was sorely tempted to slam on the brakes and see how funny he thought it was then. So how do you know what he was laughing at? Well since he was looking at me its a fair guess what it was. Do you often have a tendency towards road-rage? When people deliberately obstruct me for no good reason when I'm already late picking someone up from Gatwick - yes. B2003 |

Willfully obstructing the traffic - now thats an offence. B2003 |
