Then there will be no hooting. |

Here's a word from Pounder: Pillock. but that does answer the grievance, people rarely hoot accidentally, it is usually because of something another road has done, or may be about to do. Therefore, if you behave sensibly and lawfully, it will be unusual for anyone to hoot you, except as a warning of imminent danger, and no-one should really object to that. |

Then there will be no hooting. With the amount of subsidised vehicles on cyclist's road these days it is not possible to avoid getting in someone's way. I have no problem with motorvehicleists using our roads but it would be nice if they said thank you. |
