@__GT___@EdwardWBancroft@ChaponaBike123 Ok, you're blaming the cyclist for riding perfectly fine. But ignoring that the car moved through the dashed hatched area (arguably illegal), into a lane which is already occupied (illegal) and without checking that it is safe to make a manoeuvre (illegal).
@__GT___@EdwardWBancroft@ChaponaBike123 The point is that the driver can move their head a little to see what is in the 'blind spot' and so it is no longer 'blind'. The problem is lack of safe driving!
@csljohnkirby@ChaponaBike123 That's why when someone commits a murder, they get a stern talking to, not prison time! if a child throws rocks at a car, they get gentle words and ice cream, not punishment. Rape? you get a 10 min voicemail from the police about how disappointed they are in your lawbreaking.
@KDriscoll99@ChaponaBike123@RichS1973 so every time a car slows down, when I'm in a segregated cycle lane, I should stop cycling, in case they decide to turn left?
@GSerenityUK@AracerRacer@ChaponaBike123 And the cyclists endanger other road user so much less than the motorbikes that occupy the protected cycle box, designed and legislated for cyclists to protect them at junctions....
@adechapmanlaw@MikeyCycling They are allowed to, they are hard working, salt of the earth blokes, who just break a law or two (and endanger 100 pedestrians per day) while they work. Have pity on them!
@Bcafc1981@leeroyjones73@psmcg76 What about robbers and thieves. or drug dealers. Can they not be identified too? Should they have to wear a licence plate around their necks so that we can identify them?
@BexSiobhanE @sigirides @MOS69646572 And the driver is likely using their phone at the red light, and once they notice green they will speed of into the left without checking their mirrors and blind spots and kill a cyclist!
@duchess6319@ChaponaBike123 If an older person if walking slowly on there pavement, do you barge past them knocking them down? because you can't wait a few minutes??
If your wife is saying no, do you wait patiently, or barge through and force yourself abasing people's will and endanger their lives???
@man_like_mike2 He was on the road for a good 4 seconds before you got to the give way lines, and so you HAD to give way to anyone on the road (including the pedestrian). @metpoliceuk can you confirm?
@jimerzcook @anon_opin why do I not get £50k worth of housing, food, education and courses/support?
Why do I have to wait a week for a GP appointment, get not mental health support, had to pay thousands for education. All that, while managing not to break the law, where is my reward?????
@Axolotol3 She stepped onto the road as the traffic lights turned green for cars, and she expected to get across four lanes of traffic (including that Oxford tube) how?
@Il_Gatto__@CitizenUddin@WeAreOpenreach wow, check out your 5 synapses firing to try and come up with some conclusion! well done! I'm sure the empty space is proud of their neighbour!
@Il_Gatto__@CitizenUddin@WeAreOpenreach you are right. not comparable at all. We make surgeons study and train for over a decade, before we trust them with a single human life at a time.
We make drivers sit a common sense test and drive around for 40 minutes, before we trust them with 1/3kg of TNT
