I agree, there's no place on the road for aggressive, stupid road users.. Fortunately someone has taken it upon themself to document the actions of stupid road users for posterity. Just look at this idiot as he careers up the road aggressively trying to force oncoming traffic to yield to him and then terrorises pedestrians crossing the road, failing to give way to pedestrians as he turns right.. The "man" who took these videos is a disgrace. http://www.swldxer.co.uk/satjam.mp4 How do you like my latest effort? http://www.swldxer.co.uk/roadworks.wmv What about this lazy git as well? http://www.swldxer.co.uk/indicate.wmv -- Simon Mason |

, Simon Mason writes What about this lazy git as well? http://www.swldxer.co.uk/indicate.wmv Sorry, but you really are simply asking for trouble by attempting to pass (undertake) a vehicle where there is a left turn. From somewhere in the dim and distant past, I have always understood that you should not overtake at road junctions (either left or right). I'm not sure that this is in the highway code these days, but obeying this rule has certainly prevented me being involved in many an incident over the last 50 years of driving. You really should know by now that you must NOT rely on drivers giving signals - and even when they do, you should not assume that the signal is correct for what they intend to do - or even if it is, that you have not misinterpreted it. Failure to do so could be fatal - especially for cyclists. Don't think that the fact you have survived so far doesn't mean your 'assertive' cycling lifestyle won't one day catch up with you. -- Ian |

The fact that I had slowed down as I could see what he was up to shows that I am well aware of the dangers of the left hook by non indicating cars. I also had enough presence of mind to avoid this silly bint as well a bit further down the road. http://www.swldxer.co.uk/blindbat.wmv -- Simon Mason |

But I see that you asserted your precedence, and still proceeded in front of her. What would have happened if, because of the surprise the woman probably got, her foot had accidentally slipped off the clutch? Don't you see a scenario for potential disaster (mainly to you)? -- Ian |

No - I see it as a potential money spinner. Compo for any injuries and maybe a new set of wheels or maybe even this year's Scott CR1 :-0 And a due care or careless driving 3pts for her, which may be enough to get her off the roads if she already had enough previous. I don't mind taking the hit if it makes the roads safer for all. -- Simon Mason |

There *is* a bit in the HC that advises drivers to check in *both* door mirrors before making a turn as there may be cyclists and motorcyclists filtering on either side. -- Simon Mason |

Is that all BP Chemical's official policy? |
