Anti-bike signs on Bendibuses
wrote in message
oups.com... "Half the problem is that bikes (both pedal and motor) try to take advantage of their narrow width to get right to the front of a queue of traffic, rather than waiting their turn like everyone else. And I say that from the perspective of a cyclist as well as a driver - when I'm on my bike I always resist the temptation to overtake cars on the left near junctions, because as a driver I'm aware of how dangerous it can be. " Yes, I agree entirely, and this situation is worsened by the imposition of "bicycle boxes" or whatever they are called at the front of stop lines at junctions, which can only encourage cycles and motorbikes to overtake or undertake whenever there is stationery traffic waiting at red lights. I have been at the Bar long enough to remember motorcyclists being prosecuted for this very action, which now seems to be officially sanctioned if not encouraged. Just like women voting - whatever next! Marc. |
