Cyclists to face ‘dangerous riding’ penalties like those for dangerous driving motorists | Auto Express
NewsThe clue is in the name: public highway, not 'motor vehicle' highway. Drivers do not have exclusive rights.
Where did I suggest they did?
Did you bother to read my comment?
'Blocking the public highway for their own amusement'
They're not blocking it. They're using it. Their reason for using it - cardio, fun, whatever - is just as valid as any driver's reason. Arguably, it's more valid since cyclists are one of the three groups that actually do have rights to the highway. Drivers are permitted to use it under licence.
They are blocking in that they create traffic jams, and risk themselves and others for no good reason. They don't have to be there at all! While not having a care in the world about the chaos behind them.
Once again; it doesn't matter if it's legal, it's morally responsible and the pursuit of Sociopaths.
I would never consider doing what they do.
I think you need to have a word with yourself if you're so incensed by cyclists minding their own business that you describe it as the 'pursuit of sociopaths'. You'll live longer if you don't let such things get to you.
Cyclists' lives at far more at risk from drivers either being incompetent or downright aggressive towards them.
I'm not angry. And I treat all vulnerable road users with the appropriate courtesy.
Perhaps, my highlighting the dangerous, selfish and totally unnecessary pursuit of the MAMIL will encourage some to take up a better hobby.
