OH AND ALSO THOUGHT IT WAS CLEVER TO BE IN THE LEFT HAND LANE WHICH IS FOR LEFT AND STRAIGHT ON ONLY TO GO ''RIGHT'' ROUND THE ROUNDABOUT BEFORE CUTTING ME UP
Sounds like you are trying to make a 'cut up' manoeuvre sound reasonable. Also contravene 162, 163, 164, 167 & 168 of the Highway Code. Back to driving school?
I think that "learner" still has a lot to learn, mainly on account of their inability to read the road. The cyclist is allowed the lane, and indeed this of encouraged by all authoritative sources such as the RAC, AA, police forces and government. The cyclist wasn't doing it to antagonise or delay anyone; rather, they HAVE to think of their safety and those around them, and they HAVE to remain visible. Riding primary is doing just that. It is textbook practice. You can however see the motorcyclist tearing up the road towards a roundabout, unimpeded as he nearly runs into the back of the cyclist who is slowing down in advance of said roundabout and traffic conditions. If he were driving a car instead of riding a push-bike it would have been no different and this regardless of his speed. He needs to get in position and to be seen, and to deter idiocy like you see here.
Furhermore the references to non-existent Road Tax, and also Insurance and MOT, they ALL mean sod-all. They are all not a tax or fee to use or pay for roads. The argument is thus null and void. This is why Churchill abolished Road Tax in the 30's, because it gave people like that motorbike rider a false sense of entitlement to our roads. Having said this, I wouldn't have argued with him.. it's just not worth engaging with people like him as not only are you at risk of losing concentration but you're also at risk of assault (not that this would be your fault). To put it bluntly, let the fuck up and fuck off and only react as a last resort..let a horn do the talking. This also limits their ability to absolve or mitigate their wrong-doing in a court, as some will always try it on. All he had to do was stay back as required or at least give the cyclist enough room.. clearly, there wasn't enough room there especially since they were approaching stationary traffic. The motorbike ride caused unnecessary stress and danger and all because someone else was using the road. Just calm down brother, life's too short ya know....
And also it's spelled "pathetic".
