Inconsiderate Cycling?
I found myself following a born again/one foot in the grave biker on a big
Harley this morning. Single carriageway national limit and he was doing 20mph at most. Funnily enough the police car in the queue made no attempt to stop him. ISTR that Daniel Cadden was charged with inconsiderate cycling. Is there actually such an offence, and if there is, is there a 'motorised' equivalent? |

There's "driving without due consideration". http://www.cps.gov.uk/legal/section9/chapter_b.html#17 Careless driving and driving without due consideration - Section 3 RTA 1988. |

It's worth looking at section 29 too: http://www.opsi.gov.uk/ACTS/acts1988...n_2.htm#mdiv29 "If a person rides a cycle on a road without due care and attention, or without reasonable consideration for other persons using the road, he is guilty of an offence.In this section "road" includes a bridleway." And so on. |

If the vehicle in front spends more on petrol than those following it's OK -- --- Marten Gerritsen INFOapestaartjeM-GINEERINGpuntNL www.m-gineering.nl |

Is there actually such an offence, and if there is, is there a 'motorised' equivalent? There was a woman got done for driving at low speed between Crief and Perth and caused a large tailback can't remember what happend in the end. She claimed she had never driven at night before and had been caught out. OTOH this is a motorcycle not a car, its taking up considerably less space (ie why couldn't you get past, was the road narrow?) It's the sort of thing that should be enforced better but all we ever get while following a car crawlign at 35 through the highlands is the odd sign saying "Pull over and let others past" Niall |

On two wheels, I would have been going carefully. |

Your car's thermometer is wrong. At 08:30 the air temperature in the coldest part of the UK (according to the METARS collected by http://www.xcweather.co.uk/) was better than 3 degrees, and so I set off with warm socks in my luverly new Lake winter booties, but no more cold weather precautions than that.

Mike You might be right, give or take a degree. However, when I started out at 0615, it was decidedly parky. |
