I think the council should be held to account for this road. There's clearly insufficient room for all vehicles to fit in the same area..it's practically inviting injury and death. Another example of why cycle infrastructure in this country is well behind others.
The driver's comprehension of the Highway Code appears to be dire. And he claims to drive a HGV? Scary.
It's obvious the cyclist wasn't "taking up 3/4 of the road" and wasn't "in the middle of the road". It's physically impossible. The cyclist has a lawful right to ride primary and this is also backed up by the police, the AA, the RAC and the government's own advice.
You, the driver, were too close. You claimed to be aware of the cyclist's position and yet you were too close. You should have given the cyclist the same amount of room as a car.
The reason many cyclists ride primary in situations like this is because of ignorant people like you - why don't YOU read YOUR Highway Code and give more room! It is a tricky road but there is no need for you to make it even more difficult by refusing to accept cyclists are equals.
Funny how they want to adopt said position yet think it doesn't apply to other road users. You read that, driver? Cyclists ARE equal road users and require extra care and attention. Don't like it? Piss off our roads.
a dinnae care a pumped he lassie tho an he call me the other night n a tell he "shes getting pumped right now"
