Cyclist impedes ambulance by not following the Highway Code

http://metro.co.uk/2018/01/22/cyclis...-miss-7248829/ Latest state of play: 92% believe that the obstructive cyclist was in the wrong. I'm surprised it was as low as 92%. After all, cyclists don't amount to 8% of the population. They don't amount to much at all. QUOTE: West Midlands Ambulance Service looked into the incident and hit back at the cyclist saying he should have allowed the ambulance to pass. A spokesperson said: ‘After reviewing the Trust’s own CCTV footage from the ambulance, the cyclist should have stopped at the traffic roundabout to allow the ambulance to pass unhindered. As an ambulance service we advise members of the public to keep calm if you hear sirens or see flashing blue lights whilst driving or cycling and give yourself time to plan. ‘If the emergency vehicle is behind you, pull over by clearly indicating your intention and stop where it’s safe to do so. Please be patient by waiting for the emergency vehicle to pass". That cyclist has an attitude problem. How unusual. I don't recall ever seeing or hearing of a motor vehicle driver holding up an emergency vehicle like that. It might have happened, but not in my experience. |

The cyclist had already entered the junction before the ambulance appeared and made every effort to clear the junction as quickly as possible. Being on an emergency call does not permit ambulance drivers to endanger other road users. |

Being on an emergency call does not permit ambulance drivers to endanger other road users. We can see drivers had pulled to the side before the junction and the rider had plenty of room to do so too. The ambulance driver should be hauled over for incorrect use of the horn; pure aggression, what was he/she expecting to happen at that late stage? |

If you were in the back of the ambulance, crying, bleeding, screaming and asking for your mammy like scum, cowardly, cyclists do, would you still have the same intensely stupid attitude? Thought not. Have you always been stupid? |

I could always take comfort in the fact that I am not you. I was not replying to you. I know it's hard for you to understand this medium, but you are a cyclist - to your shame. I take no comfort in not being you. This as there is no reason to be you. Are you not ashamed of being you? |
