Cyclist in accident
Why do some car drivers think that they own the road? They think that only some bits of the Highway Code code apply to them and sod everybody else. Cyclists have a right to be on the road too you know!

On a narrow road you've got a cyclist coming up a hill and a car coming down a hill. Which of the two vehicles should give way? It's just a shame some car drivers don't know the answer!

| 16-7-2007 | As a cyclist ... my journey of 4.2 miles which should take about 12 minutes on my mountain bike, takes me about 25 minutes. The reason being? Cars impede my progress. They overtake ... and then stop in front of me. Move on - another vehicle overtakes ... and stops in front of me. Use the cycle-...more | Dave Bayliss - STockport |
| 06-7-2007 | I am a Chartered Health and Safety Practitioner, an advanced motorcyclist and a car driver to boot. I think it is mad that cars and cyclists use the same carriage way when it is clearly too narrow; on busy roads following a cyclist for ages because it is too dangerous to overtake is not much fun!

| 05-1-2007 | I really did forget. The highway code allows cyclist complete freedom to ride wherever they please, pavements, up one way streets the wrong way, jump traffic lights, ignore halt signs, turn left or right without signalling, and ride 4 abreast at 15 mph on narrow country roads. We poor motor driven m...more | Bike rider (motorbike) |
| 03-1-2007 | I have a somewhat relevant story to relate.
Many years ago, I was on a 60' steel houseboat with my father, making way in a narrow channel. A windsurfer (sail boarder) was coming towards us, head on. He wished to continue in his intended path, to make most advantage of the wind, and began yell...more | Lionell |
| 10-12-2006 | Bicycles should simply not be on roads designated 40 mph or more. If cyclists need to get around they need dedicated lanes and routes, not on the main roads either. If this is going to cost billions let the cyclists pay for them with some kind of tax. The days of cycling being "free" are o...more | Anti-spokes man |
| 02-11-2006 | How can I keep warm and 'chill out' at the same time. Happily for me , most of my hormones left me years ago! So I should be a safe driver ALL the time :-) | Welshlass |

| 01-11-2006 | I think you mean 'banned'. Well at least WE are safe on the roads the rest of the time- men-never. There are only 3 places where men should be seen, the pits,the sewers and up scaffolding. We don't mind you keeping our world running smoothly for us :-) | White Van Woman |

| 23-9-2006 | The other day whilst driving down a one way road,I saw a cyclist on what I would describe as a motor assisted cycle with no protection on her head after riding down the footpath opposite which was not a cycle path, go straight across on the junction without stopping and riding the wrong way down the...more | Bob |
| 26-8-2006 | Although The Highway Code makes reference to the law, it is essentially a “code” to promote road safety, not a rule book. We should all respect each other, and as gentlefolk and it is far more gallant to give way than stand on one’s supposed rights, especially when driving what amo...more | Fred from Finchley |
| 08-8-2006 | If the cars were parked on your side of the road then you should have given way...as for giving way to traffic coming up hill then that applies to Single track roads, so maybe you should re-read your highway code | Finn |
