If the SRU was using a SUV this would not happen. |

We certainly are in a strange culture when confrontations due to the abandoned vehicles have everything to do with those wishing to pass and nothing to do with the abandoners. If the SRU was using a SUV this would not happen. In my experience on a bike, parked cars on my rhs are a particular problem when meeting oncoming drivers. A road can easily be wide enough for both of us but some drivers pull so far over they leave the clear channel between them and the parked cars, not between them and my kerb. Can be scary when moments earlier there was no reason not to commit. That particular one looks like a problem because the overhead view shows the road starts wide where the driver entered but necks down where the rider was stopped. Doesn't look like a brilliant idea of Oxford CC to extend the parking space to that point. |

If the SRU was using a SUV this would not happen. Yes the motorist was at fault initially . However we all muck-up and a "sorry chief" from the driver or 'a shaken head and a haughty look' from the cyclist is all that is required to see motorist chastised and traffic still flowing. But to block the highway for six minutes, I am afraid the cyclist loses all 'high ground'. Lot easier for the bike to shuffle two feet to the left than that car to try and reverse between those parked cars and the curb. Yes I have tried to drive through a gap which has turned out narrower that I thought or the oncoming traffic was faster than I thought. In every case a sheepish look and a shrugged shoulders (saying sorry) does the trick and there has been no significant tail back or accidents. And yes I did wish at times, even when in the right, (trying tio guard the mirrors or oncoming traffic is a lot more confident than you of getting these two cars through that gap) I could get out and bodily lift the car two feet one way . I am a cyclist and driver and yes it annoys me too when on the bike if a driver treats the road as their own feifdom. But his ton of metal which can easily top 100 mph is far stronger than your thirty pound bike that (downhill and with a good wind behind you) can maybe top 40 MPH. And there are times when you have to be pragmatic and let them away with a "oi knohead" in their ears rather than holding everyone up. |
