Well that will be one Brexit benefit ;)

Re: [Update] Cyclist convicted of "wanton and furious driving"
 

Cycle ways are 'maintained' to varying standards and their use is therefore also variable. Leaves are known to be a hazard, as is gutter detritus, drains, hedges, potholes and dilapidated surfaces. Not to mention parked cars. An experienced and observant road user would know all this.

I had to risk answering your 'trick' question because you seem genuinely to not know the highway code and that could be dangerous for other road users unless it was made clear for you :dunce:.

Keep up the good work papa; they're falling for it :D.

It's about time it became law to use these facilities if they're there, keep the roads clear for real vehicles were possible imo

There's no need to be quite so transparently provocative, I'm happy to join in the fun anyway :D.

Now, might I suggest that in your new law it is specified too that pedestrians only use the facilities provided for them i.e. pavements (no jaywalking allowed) and that vehicles must not park on or enter cycle lanes and that maintaining cycle lanes is properly funded and that all road and bridge schemes incorprate facilities for cycling and walking?

You're mental aren't you? ;)

Re: [Update] Cyclist convicted of "wanton and furious driving"
 

The roads aren't maintained properly so why should cycle lanes be getting any special treatment and I think they should do more about jaywalking, I'm not a fan of that either.

Feel better now?:)

I saw a combined phone zombie and footpath cyclist just hurtle across a road junction. If a car had been coming to that junction he would be dead or very seriously injured as the driver would have had absolutely no chance of stopping as the malefactor was screened by a wall until the last moment.

Now the church gets involved.

The backllash against idiot cyclists is gaining momentum.

even god hates them ;)

If you follow our resident cyclist spokesperson

They dont use them anyway so whats the point of building them

Re: [Update] Cyclist convicted of "wanton and furious driving"
 

We have loads of cycle lanes around here and hardly see anyone using them. They'd far rather conduct their mini-Tour de France like activities. holding up the traffic, ignoring road signs, traffic lights etc. I think it makes them feel important.

I'm sensing we might have problems setting up a Cable Forum cycling club !
