Lost count? Why? Do you have trouble counting? (or just enjoy over exaggerating?)

Cyclists and pedestrians need a reminder that they are subject to the Highway Code and the Road Traffic Acts as well as the 'cash cow' motorists.

Pedestrians and cyclists aren't generally wheeling a 1 ton bit of metal down the street at 30+mph, nor are cyclists. If a pedestrian walks into you, I'm sure there's a fairly good chance you'll survive the encounter and a cyclist will generally try to avoid hitting people too, being as it'll injure them just as much.

So what exactly is this reminder you have in mind?

So do some motorists in my experience. Even Black Cab drivers. A couple of times I have nearly been hit by a Black Cab driver who appeared to forget he is not supposed to be driving on the pavement.

One other thing that irritates me is motorists (or cyclists) that do not read signs or road markings. The main road goes round a corner to the right, but it used to go straight. Now, it is clearly marked and signposted that the main road turns right, so technically, to go straight ahead you actually need to indicate left.. People rarely do this.

No I'm not a doctor. My Profile tells you what I do. I thought that was the point of profiles..?

I have done several medical jobs including nursing, paramedic and cardiophysiologist

Sorry I ignored you. I still can't work out what you've got against me. Why did you ignore my question?
