You ought to have read the Highway Code, which advises against such things. It's funny that you like citing that publication when you don't even know what it says. |

You ought to have read the Highway Code, which advises against such things. It's funny that you like citing that publication when you don't even know what it says. I assume you are referring to rule 66 of the Highway Code,and it says nothing of your obtuse utterance! However, if you got another version of your "Code" I would be pleased to learn. Rules for cyclists (59 to 82) Rules for cyclists, including an overview, road junctions, roundabouts and crossing the road. These rules are in addition to those in the following sections, which apply to all vehicles (except the motorway section). See also You and your bicycle. Overview (rules 59 to 71) Rule 59 Clothing. You should wear a cycle helmet which conforms to current regulations, is the correct size and securely fastened appropriate clothes for cycling. Avoid clothes which may get tangled in the chain, or in a wheel or may obscure your lights light-coloured or fluorescent clothing which helps other road users to see you in daylight and poor light reflective clothing and/or accessories (belt, arm or ankle bands) in the dark. Rule 59: Help yourself to be seen Rule 59: Help yourself to be seen Rule 60 At night your cycle MUST have white front and red rear lights lit. It MUST also be fitted with a red rear reflector (and amber pedal reflectors, if manufactured after 1/10/85). White front reflectors and spoke reflectors will also help you to be seen. Flashing lights are permitted but it is recommended that cyclists who are riding in areas without street lighting use a steady front lamp. Law RVLR regs 13, 18 & 24 Rule 61 Cycle Routes and Other Facilities. Use cycle routes, advanced stop lines, cycle boxes and toucan crossings unless at the time it is unsafe to do so. Use of these facilities is not compulsory and will depend on your experience and skills, but they can make your journey safer. Rule 62 Cycle Tracks. These are normally located away from the road, but may occasionally be found alongside footpaths or pavements. Cyclists and pedestrians may be segregated or they may share the same space (unsegregated). When using segregated tracks you MUST keep to the side intended for cyclists as the pedestrian side remains a pavement or footpath. Take care when passing pedestrians, especially children, older or disabled people, and allow them plenty of room. Always be prepared to slow down and stop if necessary. Take care near road junctions as you may have difficulty seeing other road users, who might not notice you. Law HA 1835 sect 72 Rule 63 Cycle Lanes. These are marked by a white line (which may be broken) along the carriageway (see Rule 140). When using a cycle lane, keep within the lane when practicable. When leaving a cycle lane check before pulling out that it is safe to do so and signal your intention clearly to other road users. Use of cycle lanes is not compulsory and will depend on your experience and skills, but they can make your journey safer. Rule 64 You MUST NOT cycle on a pavement. Laws HA 1835 sect 72 & R(S)A sect 129 Rule 65 Bus Lanes. Most bus lanes may be used by cyclists as indicated on signs. Watch out for people getting on or off a bus. Be very careful when overtaking a bus or leaving a bus lane as you will be entering a busier traffic flow. Do not pass between the kerb and a bus when it is at a stop. Rule 66 You should keep both hands on the handlebars except when signalling or changing gear keep both feet on the pedals never ride more than two abreast, and ride in single file on narrow or busy roads and when riding round bends not ride close behind another vehicle not carry anything which will affect your balance or may get tangled up with your wheels or chain be considerate of other road users, particularly blind and partially sighted pedestrians. Let them know you are there when necessary, for example, by ringing your bell if you have one. It is recommended that a bell be fitted. Rule 67 You should look all around before moving away from the kerb, turning or manoeuvring, to make sure it is safe to do so. Give a clear signal to show other road users what you intend to do (see ‘Signals to other road users’) look well ahead for obstructions in the road, such as drains, pot-holes and parked vehicles so that you do not have to swerve suddenly to avoid them. Leave plenty of room when passing parked vehicles and watch out for doors being opened or pedestrians stepping into your path be aware of traffic coming up behind you take extra care near road humps, narrowings and other traffic calming features take care when overtaking (see Rules 162 to 169). Rule 68 You MUST NOT carry a passenger unless your cycle has been built or adapted to carry one hold onto a moving vehicle or trailer ride in a dangerous, careless or inconsiderate manner ride when under the influence of drink or drugs, including medicine. Law RTA 1988 sects 24, 26, 28, 29 & 30 as amended by RTA 1991 Rule 69 You MUST obey all traffic signs and traffic light signals. Laws RTA 1988 sect 36 & TSRGD reg 10(1) Rule 70 When parking your cycle find a conspicuous location where it can be seen by passers-by use cycle stands or other cycle parking facilities wherever possible do not leave it where it would cause an obstruction or hazard to other road users secure it well so that it will not fall over and become an obstruction or hazard. |
