If you don't have a vehicle that can cope with this weather, then take the bus, hire a taxi, or walk.
Going out knowing you will not be able to handle your vehicle in a normal manner because of the weather conditions is highly irresponsible!

Your arrogance is breathtaking !! So I should walk if the weather is bad ?? Try telling that to lorry drivers whose vehicles weave and swerve on the motorway in high winds. Do you leave your car at home when the roads are icy ?? The point is you should give cyclists enough room anyway...READ the Highway Code !! You are NOT the only road users..cyclists like pedestrians have a legitimate right to go about their business. Get real !

More arrogance ! How arrogant is it to impede a cyclist, who remember has to PEDDLE to get along. Why pull in to the kerb in a pitifully vain attempt to pass where nothing wider than a bike can get through ?? That is plain and simple ignorance and lack of care for others. Many, many times I have had to brake hard or swerve just because motorists fail to acknowlege even my presence.
I suppose I should wait for a gap in the traffic before I overtake parked vehicles ?? Why do ignorant and arrogant drivers like you think you own the road ?? I pay VED just like everyone else.

It obviously amazes you they are even allowed on the road !!! The irony is far from lost...they are trying to make a valid point that it is vehicles...too many of them...that cause congestion. Drivers going to collect their morning papers, mothers taking kids to school, single drivers going to work. THEY should all take the bus or walk, oh, or even CYCLE !! Oh and btw just because a car indicates to turn left it doesn't give them the right to carve up a cyclist whilst doing it .. they should slow down and turn behind the cycle not over it !!! I've had loads indicating as they pass me and just turn !!!
I'd better sign off now as I'm losing my temper !!
