Car drivers forget Highway Code

Jon - in response to your comment "No such thing as 'right of way'. Read The Highway Code please (for the first time in 20 years.)" Male Pedestrian may have been inacurate using the phrase "right of way" but he is actually correct in that he did have "PRIORITY" over trafic turning onto the road he was crossing ! - perhaps you should take your own advice and read the highway code - its covered by rule 170 if you can be bothered to check it before you wrongly attempt to correct another poster ! - Personally I think you are one of many people that THINK they know road law and always believe yourself to be right that cause the majority of dangerous situations on the roads !! Either make sure you are correct or shut the F UP!

I caught up at next set of traffic lights (which they HAD to stop at) and once they got to the 50mph zone he overtook the two in front and sped off.

We were doing 50 so he must have been doing 70.

Not much respect for the law.

Slightly off topic but in the original gripe mentions a place called 'Menlove Gardens'!

How utterly vile. I do hope that it is not compulsory.

For those of us who live in areas with single track roads, cyclistst tearing round corners 2 abreast, it's dangerous. They tend to hold traffic up with an arrogant attitud that is not needed, and consider the roads belong to them. Whilst this does not apply to all cyclists, it is becoming a trend. I have been forced off the road by cyclists in the Inverness area by cyclists ignoring passing places and breaking the law. Once I spoke to one to remind him of the use of passing places, and was give foul abuse. Unpleasant.
Please, be considerate, follow the highway code, and allow everyone to get on with their business. Car drivers are happy to respect cyclists, but cyclists must remember that they are a slow moving, low visability object. Most slow moving vehicles have to carry an orange light.

This female driver of a black SAAB suddenly decided to turn off a main road into a smaller road Victoria Street between the hospital and Lorne Street without indicating.

I looked both ways before crossing and this car was a way back so I started crossing and was over half way when this car suddenly appeared from my behind and left.

As I was already crossing I had right of way to finish but she forced me to stop knowing she had the power to get away with it.

Wealthy b@st@rd and female driver who thinks she is a cut above others.

Status and wealth = evil and inferior.

It is not just car drivers. It is getting tiresome seeing advertisements about bikers. On the motorways and all over the TV. How we should be more vigilant to their presence if they do have a total disregard for other motorists upon the road.

All those bikers not content sitting behind a vehicle travelling along within the national speed, result in weaving in and out of traffic travelling in both directions.

Just last week in my local area, a biker hit a car in excess of 100mph. The driver of the car was turning around in the road, a road that dips. Driver of the car was found dead on the passenger seat, not a great deal left of either of them.

Think Bike.... Think Chancer

How would it be if a Motorcyclist/ Cyclist was waiting quite normally at traffic lights and a car drew up alongside and stopped 3/4 of an inch off his/her knee/mirror? Bad manners? Dangerous? Think about it Bikers!

kill of bikes you hit me and I'll smash your windscreen so you'll stop then I'll put you in hospital long term. If I don't catch you I'll get your number and then come round and burn your house down with you in it so watch it cos you're not as safe as you think in that tin can!

iv got nothing against cyclists, I use to cycle as a kid. But I dont c y they just cant be allowd to go on the footpath. Whats worse, the risk of a cyclist hitting a pedestrian causing moderate injury?? Or the risk of a cyclist becoming roadkill because of possible neglegence by themselves, or a driver????

who enforces the highway code in the uk as I think it sould be the police ' but I was told it isnt thank you
