Pedestrian, cyclist, motorist. Looking out for vulnerable road users, raising road safety awareness.

Shorts

Seeming yesterday's post triggered so many people, here's another one. Pedestrians do not have priority to cross the road when not looking, and certainly not to drag two children out into the road as well, whom also weren't looking.

1) The only road signs and markings clearly apply to oncoming road users. 2) He surely should have heard me coming?

I appreciate being stuck at a red traffic light is boring, but no excuse to bring out the fondle slab. 6 points on its way.

The van driver had already committed to go over the give way markings, so technically, I should have given way, right?

Priory Lane again. How fast do you think this Royal Mail Royal MailHelp van was going? For the flagshaggers out there - Priory Lane is a 20mph limit, and my GPS was showing 20.31mph.

Yeah but go easy on him. He's just an honest, hardworking driver, and shame on you for putting him out of a job. Don't you have any morals?

I thought that was perfect road positioning, as there was a row of parked cars coming up ahead and a narrowing due to a stopped HGV. But apparently it must have been some sort of secret sign for motorists to using the f'ing cycle lane and overtake me on the inside. I give up. 🤷‍♂️

Pedestrian Zone. At all times. Is a shortcut really worth 3 points and a £100 fine?

Do not enter a roundabout, if there's a cyclist already on it coming from your right. Another top tip for the Waitrose & Partners driver safety manual.

Look out for those left hooking drivers. They don't appear to have read the Highway Code lately. If at all.

Newly stupid cycle box design, Lower Richmond Road / Putney Bridge junction. Who on Earth thinks these things up? There's no cycle lane on the left, so you can't get into it that way, and a traffic island on the right, meaning you can't go that way either. The lady driver quickly dropped her mobile phone though. At least there's a result. Pretty quick response really, as didn't get her holding it on video. Lucky escape... Wandsworth Council #wandbc

It's a bit late to try and cover it up. I've been sat next to you for the last 20 seconds. Nice try though, hope you enjoy your Christmas present. :)

I'm going off Waitrose & Partners now. Their drivers clearly lack training and awareness when out on the road. I'll try and shop local instead, as I don't think its fair that life and limbs should be put at risk, simply by me deciding to order a Waitrose & Partners delivery.

Remember. Don't ever overtake a self-entitled Porsche driver. They don't like it. But they do like going beepity-beep.

Apparently this was "careless cycling" according to plod, and I got a letter through the post. It beggars belief sometimes. 🤷‍♂️

This lady was awfully kind, and sounded her horn to let me know she was behind me. I ignored it the first time, so she did it a second time. I looked around, tried to wave her past, but she wasn't having any of it, went for a tactical close pass, and I caught up with her at the traffic lights for a chat. #dashcam #shitdriving

As London warms up, keep an eye out for tourists, as they don't always look the right way. I did flag down passing police, as wherever there's a head knock, it's a 999.

Had a bad day? Eaten too many bacon sandwiches that your seatbelt won't fit? Tell you what. Take it out on some cyclists. Road bully.

Absolute madness. That's the closest pass I've ever seen. Shocking behaviour. No doubt punishment for "not being in the cycle lane".

This lady driver kindly sounded her car's horn, to alert me that she was about to close pass me. She then kindly indicated left, I think to point out that I should be in the cycle lane. Moments later, caught up with her at the traffic lights. I wonder if that just made her feel stupid? Either way, Santa will be sending her something in the post. #mfig #shitdriving #dashcam

Words fail me. He managed to give a pretty precise description as to why he shouldn't be driving. Why does cycling at 20mph in a 20mph limit (well, maybe slightly over), infuriate motorists so much, to a point where they have to sound their horn and barge their way past? BMW

Note the casual attitude of this bus driver, having nearly knocked me flying. I think he deserved the loss of his PSV license for this one, and has a nice safe desk job now.

But they're stopped at a red light, not doing anyone any harm? The police disagreed, and sent a conditional offer of 6 penalty points and a £200 fine. #mobilephonedriver

Give way to traffic coming from your right at a roundabout. Unless it's a cyclist, in which case, apparently you can just do what the fuck you like. #priorylane

The laws of the road evaporate when there's a cyclist in the way. This BMW driver drove terribly, and almost collided with a red van driver, whom was forced to slam on the brakes. All for what? Just so they could get to the the next set of traffic lights before I did. #carbrain
