Who's in the Wrong?

[NickFitz]

Filter on the right when you have about 1 inch between you and the stationary traffic on your left & 1 inch between you the juggeringnaut that's heading right towards you?

Another thing I find with filtering on the right is that you can get stranded out there when the traffic suddenly starts moving & nobody will let you back across.

I'm begining to think cycling in towns is dangerous.

You could always try waiting until it's safe to proceed

It's never going to be safe when there's a constant stream of traffic in both directions.

No, filter on the right when it's safe. Re-join the traffic in your lane when you need to. Take the lane when you need to. Pay attention and when it's not safe, wait until it is. Worst case scenario, that lorry driver is far more likely to see you if you are on the right and in front of him than the driver of the car that wants to turn left when you are on the inside.

Just being on a bike doesn't give you carte blanch to go where you want and expect everyone else to get out of the way.

To be honest, I was kind of on autopilot as I didn't sleep last night & I was feeling the 5 glasses of Croft Original.

Maybe you should not have been half cut, you might have had an accident and been breathalysed and over the limit

Probably still over the drink drive limit (Mr Cyclist).

Drunk in charge. Throw away the key.

High and p*ssed out of your mind, then.
They should throw the book at you.

Or maybe it's all bollux.

I miss Gricer.

But being a pedestrian gives you carte blanche & it's always the driver's fault in incidents involving a car and a pedestrian regardless of the circumstances.

Cyclists are just as vulnerable as pedestrians so maybe should be afforded the same privilege as pedestrians?

Pedestrians don't block up all the single carriageway A roads every ******* weekend though do they?
