GF09KMJ Toyota Aygo driver close pass of cyclist, Essex Police result; Course or Conditional Offer

[@dadsbarmy4771]

you need to adjust yourself to be more towards the middle of the road. I'm not a cyclist I'm a driver but I always give plenty of room to cyclists, as i understand a cyclist has as much right to use the road as a car driver. Command the road in a better way. keeping to the left will encourage drivers to overtake you in stupid places.

[@kennethatkins9250]

Just no need to be so close.

Where I live we have green evangelists cycling to work sometimes two abreast; smugly saving the world. Behind them is a frustrated queue of cars all burning more fuel than they would be otherwise. Dangerous overtakes are stupid and dangerous but how about the cyclists meet us half way and ride in single-file, and occasionally stopping to let cars past?

[@mctrials23]

You don't burn more fuel going slowly and come on, drivers don't give a shit about their environmental impact. Ragging their cars to get past a cyclists only to stop and do the same thing again when they hit the next red light. Perhaps all those drivers, almost always a single driver in a massive car should work out a better way to get to work. If you want cyclists not to be on the roads, petition for separated infrastructure that is actually usable rather than the shit we get now which is unmaintained, constantly interrupted by driveways, side roads and covers about 20% of most journeys if you are very lucky.

[@bestbehave]

It's you that's burning fuel dude not them. And as a driver I can say that I've never been delayed on a journey by more than a second or so by riders - you know as well as I do that they're only going to filter past you at the next junction

Just no need to play the victim card when you were not harmed in any way. Entitled cycle fascists will be the death of free cycling in the UK. Keep up the winging and you'll be contributing to road upkeep in no time, and paying for your own insurance too. lol.

[@simonthompson2963]

What a stupid comment, whether or not you believe it to be entitled, the car driver was breaking the law. Fuk off back to Lego where you belong!

[@antmitchell9930]

Is that the level of your thinking, you weren't hit so it must be whinging ?. Please stay off the road until you've read and understood the highway code.

[@Humanity101-zp4sq]

@@antmitchell9930 What a joker! Veteran driver of cycles, motorcycles and cars for over 40 years. No accidents and no whinging. Roads are full of entitled idiots who expect to be able to use the whole carriageway whilst wearing headphones or using a mobile phone. Just another example of a country being held to ransom by snowflake narcisists without a care for universal meeting of need. You should try and read some other books as well as the Highway Code!

[@bestbehave]

As a driver, that was an abysmal pass, in direct contravention of teh HWC That driver isn't just dangerous around people on bikes, but will also display incompetence and negligence other cars, pedestrians, horse riders etc Basically they need removing from the road before they inflict injuries or fatalities on other people

[@Humanity101-zp4sq]

[@williamcoulter5462]

no need to be on the road another entitled cyclist not using a very expensively created cycle path.

Where's the cycle path?

The public highway is there for the public to use as they see fit - unless you use a motor vehilce of course, in which case you are there conditionally It is incumbant on you to keep others safe when driving, and you are not permitted to drive negligently in an attempt to bully the public off the roads
