" Granny..i got another problem with the tossers that push said buggies out just far enough to get mowed into at crossings..." Trouble with Zebra crossings is pedestrains only have right of way once they have stepped on the crossing. With busy roads there should be a section of the pavement for the pedestrain to stand in order to give them right of way over vehicles | |||

Your tax is an emissions tax, nothing to do with being able to drive on the road, many motorists seem to get this wrong Thats why theres now cars on the road that don't pay any road tax cause they're hybrids. | |||

Road tax was abolished in 1937 when it was replaced by car tax. Every taxpayer in the UK contributes to funding the roads and has done since 1937 | |||

You'll find they ride 2 abreast to ensure moronic car drivers with attitude similar to yours overtake them in a correct and safer manner than if they rode single file where no doubt you'd make sure the wing mirror of your car brushes the elbows of said cyclist. | |||

Yes cyclists break laws, and it gets my goat as well. lol" Well said, When I'm back in the UK I see fellow cyclists going through red lights, passing wagons on the left and riding more than 2 abreast every day. That said I see far more drivers on their phones or who pass far too close, but if I catch them up I do enjoy hurling abuse at them through their passenger window | |||

Car drivers could equally think that their vehicle was safe on the road regardless of whether it was or not, but law dictates that motorists must pay a tax or a cost at every turn. Most cyclists are either students or fanatics who have little road sense and think that they have a divine right to some sort of concession on our roads. Having driven in Cambridge for many years I saw so many accidents that involved cyclists just turning, swerving or stopping in traffic. I would be happy to see road tests, mots, insurance all become compulsory so that those that were cycling had some form of responsibility rather than an arrogance of thinking that they can just piss people off as they choose | |||

I'd like to see fines for not wearing a helmet. But what if like to see is a ban for driving while using the phone.

It doesn't apply to under sixteens though. The fine is £30.. But it's yet another law with no one to enforce it, much like the middle lane hogger one..

Kids, shoppers, going to work? In days gone by there were a lot of people who used push bikers to go to the shop or work but these days all I see is the odd kid (most indoors on computers etc) students and the Ed Clancy wannabes that look like yogurt knitting Guardian reading Lycra clad Pillock's Fuck off. I'm a yoghurt knitting Guardian reading pillock and I'd never be seen dead in lycra
My apologies for the Lycra assumption.

"Anybody else think far too many ride dangerous on pavements and in pedestrian zones ? Plus flout road laws It is leagal for a cyclist to ride on the pavement, but they are allowed to ride in pedestrain zones. Meant of course illegal" In most pedestrian areas cycling is prohibited not by the Road Traffic Act - which obviously doesn't apply - but by local bye-laws. So it is still illegal. | |||

" I do own the road. My tax paid for it. Cyclists are on a freebie...Burst their tyres I say." You must earn billions if your tax can pay for even one road.... but if you're talking about "Road tax" it's not been called that for about a hundred years, plus I (like most cyclists) also have a car PLUS a motorbike too so I'm paying two lots of the fictional road tax.

"Anybody else think far too many ride dangerous on pavements and in pedestrian zones ? Plus flout road laws " I've said before on here, the whole idea is fundamentally flawed anyway. Encouraging motorists and cyclists to share the same space when only segregated by lines of paint and minimal curbing is just frankly laughable. As long as you have them both in the same vicinity, there's always a risk of someone getting injured or a fatality. It might work in the Netherlands, but, we're not the Netherlands, we're a much more densely populated nation. It's just not worth the risk. Either properly segregate them well away from the roads, or if there isn't room, don't bother with them at all. | |||

"Think the scariest thing is the trend for cyclists to ride on the road in the dark with no lights and often dark clothing. There have been many cyclists killed in my area in the last few years. It's suicide by negligence and I pity the poor person who ends up knocking them down and spends the rest of their life coming to terms with it. Lights are cheap. Hi-viz is cheap. Life is cheap. Spend wisely." I use decent lights all year round whether it's dark or not (although at €75 I wouldn't say they were cheap!) and recently got abuse from a motorit who took them as a personal insult "I'm not fucking blind mate you don't need stupid fucking lights, I wasn't going to hit you..."
