Scottish courts agree that cyclists are a nuisance

"the cyclist had gesticulated rudely on being overtaken

the cyclist seemed to “revel” in causing an obstruction, rather than
being mindful of the road."

Sheriff Johnston said: “This is a classic road-rage incident. I accept …
the cyclist did make these rude gestures, which stemmed from some slight
he felt he suffered from the driving, (but) I don’t consider the
evidence sufficient to support a charge of careless driving.

“I am certain that they were both face to face, shouting at each other.”

The sheriff added that the evidence was not sufficient for a “definite
conclusion”.

So the story is, some people who ride bikes get angry with other road users.

Shame you have such comprehension difficulties.

The story is about cyclists attitudes.

Motorists pay £46 billion a year in extra taxes, specifically so they
can use the roads.
Less than £10 billion of this is spent on roads.
Q: Do cyclists pay any specific, extra taxes in order to use their
vehicles on the road?
A: No. They are sponging freeloaders.
