@MrBonMot I guess that makes you a roll model…

Just bought myself a new pair of loafers.

@Lincs_Wheelman @StuartFrazer @ThinkLicence In denial…

@MarkEDenton @StuartFrazer @ThinkLicence That's when there is a solid block of parked vehicles, not when there are gaps big enough to pull over. Try that on a driving test and you will fail

I have an idea, if I go off road, you can go off to court. Deal? GIVE WAY, especially to cyclists.

@StuartFrazer @ThinkLicence My argument is it is widely accepted (and taught to learner drivers) that where there are parked vehicles, irrespective of whose side of the road those vehicles are on, if a road user has committed to passing those vehicles, then other vehicles, not yet committed, should yield.

@MarkEDenton @ThinkLicence So your argument is that if a car drives onto the wrong side of the road into oncoming traffic, the oncoming traffic is wrong? Highway Code Rule 163 would like a word, Mark!

@StuartFrazer @ThinkLicence None of this detracts from the responsibility of ALL road users, including pedestrians, cyclists and horse riders, to have regard for their own and other road users’ safety.

@MarkEDenton @ThinkLicence

@StuartFrazer @ThinkLicence Entitled cyclist doesn't want to stop.

@MarkEDenton @ThinkLicence I really hope you don't drive Mark.

@surenify @ThinkLicence

@MarkEDenton @ThinkLicence The meeting point is the van mate. Not the parked cars. Should have gone behind the van. More importantly slowed down.

@BigBearF1 I wanted to get my curtain rails replaced by poles. Unfortunately they all returned to Poland following Brexit.

Be careful of the staff at B&Q. I bought a curtain pole, and the assistant asked if I’d be putting it up myself.

@Hookademus @surenify @ThinkLicence Entitled cyclist fails to yield to motorist committed to manoeuvre for clicks

@surenify @ThinkLicence Indeed, that was fully using the vehicle as a weapon.

@surenify @ThinkLicence

@ThinkLicence Not even slowing down. Moron should lose the license.

@ThinkLicence Yet the police didn’t agree…

@MarkEDenton Mark. None of us are Rumpole of the Bailey, but you stand out as a rank amateur. A motorist may not pass a moving motor vehicle, or a stationary vehicle (motorised or not). In the videos the vehicle is moving, so ‘a’ applies, but only if it is a motor vehicle, which it is.

I admit to being surprised that my report regarding this pedestrian-crossing overtake by a motorcycle rider did not meet the threshold for police prosecution. GOV UK & the Highway Code seem to agree with my opinion. Anyway, no problem, the footage is now available for debate.

@trinitro @ThinkLicence @aldensbutchers Which of the signals appearing in the Highway Code is he making?

@MarkEDenton @ThinkLicence @aldensbutchers You must signal with your hand, idiot

Morning @aldensbutchers , I would have DM privately but you don’t allow that, and I can’t be bothered to upload to YouTube, and email you. You are not heavy X users so might not see this, but it is worth a try. Please ask your driver(s) to obey DO NOT OVERTAKE CYCLISTS signs.

@HolywoodCyclist @ThinkLicence @aldensbutchers a. he wasn’t making one of the recognised signals set out in the Highway Code. b. the idea of signalling appears to be an unknown concept to the vast majority of cyclists.

@MarkEDenton @ThinkLicence @aldensbutchers You are aware you do need to move your hands whilst cycling, you know, like to signal. Idiot.

@ThinkLicence Part b refers to vehicle not motor vehicle…

@MarkEDenton The bicycle is not a motor vehicle, the clues are in the regulations I posted. Compare a with b. You could of course have compared the road surface behind the car, and asked yourself where have the white mark and the crack gone? Or you could have asked me nicely to reframe video.

@ThinkLicence The bicycle is clearly closest to the crossing. (Noting I t’s marginal whether the car is moving.)

@MarkEDenton 24.1.a refers to the foremost part of the car, which the motorcycle in 24.1 must not overtake.

@ThinkLicence Why are you talking about the car?

@MarkEDenton You’ll highlighted the b paras when it should have been the a paras as the car was moving, not stationary. The police saw enough in the video from earlier on to show that the grey car was the nearest to the crossing. There is more to this NFA than I understand.

@Bikery1966 @anon_opin FWIW that statement is not inconsistent with the point I am making...

@MarkEDenton @anon_opin The animosity was already there.

Literally the only reason to hate on Cycling Mikey is if you're the type of shitty driver he targets.

@Daveholt1070707 @ThinkLicence @aldensbutchers In denial....

@MarkEDenton @ThinkLicence @aldensbutchers do be quiet. You're a driver brained muppet that doesn't have a clue. Your response to unsafe driving is to cry about the cyclist taking his hand off the bar. typical c u next tuesday.

@Daveholt1070707 @ThinkLicence He contravened rules 147 and 160 together with the rules on hand signals...

@MarkEDenton @ThinkLicence he didn't do anything wrong.

“Mummy, Mummy! The big bad cyclist took one hand off his handlebars, can you tell him off?!”
