punkfolkrocker BS: Damned cyclists (245* d) RE: BS: Damned cyclists 24 Jun 18


about 15 years ago I once accidently turned into a town centre one way road and was met by abuse from an oncoming driver...

I accepted that driver's anger without question, as I was mortified at making such a stupid mistake,
putting myself at risk of collision.

I'm not trying to sound sanctimonious and priggishly 'perfect',
but just demonstrating a difference between cyclists who care about their safety,
and other cyclists too idiotic and belligerent to be set loose on the road...

Likewise, the driver who nearly mowed me and my wife down while we were carefully crossing a road,
deserved my full loudly shouted abuse because he was staring sideways at his mobile phone as he sped round a corner towards us...

Or the posh looking woman in the brand new 4x4 who nearly hit me at speed as she turned a corner using her phone
while I was already walking half way crossing the road...

All these incidents and more occurred in the same small packed town centre road system....

I really should have learned by now to keep my phone switched on, cam at the ready....
