    Unfortunately there aren't enough police around to enforce it. So until someone actually flattens them or if the are lucky they have a near miss, their behaviour won't change.

    For the life of me I don't understand why if you get on a bike you think that wearing all Black in the UK is appropriate regardless of the weather and time of day.

    I guess if the government still put out those safety adverts people would be more aware that if a driver can't see you, then you are more likely to be run down.

    In parts of inner cities cyclists like this are teenage drug dealers.

    And the almighty plod decided it was a Good Idea to attempt to prosecute the unfortunate driver.

    Who got found not guilty.

    Those of us who cycle properly hate these idiots immensely. Gives idiot car drivers an excuse to run us all down.

    Next time Zeity, please do the decent thing and splatt him.

    I would have gone over him a few times just to make sure - about time these fookers had insurance

    Was it Suity? His mass is so large he bends light towards him like a black hole. You were lucky not to be sucked in.
