Eurobike Video: the night walk

My favorite rude driver retort was when I had two teenage children and there were four cars in my driveway. Driver: Get off the road! Me: How many cars do you own? Just the one? I own four. Get off my road!

@Bungle_52 The ones I have seen don't, as I said they are not much wider than a large cyclist with MTB bars so they can safely (and I presume legally) park on pavements when making their deliveries without obstructing pedestrians, given that, in London at least, segregated cycle lanes almost always run alongside wide pavements. If they were to stop in cycle lanes that would be annoying, although at least they are narrow enough to ride around without having to use the road/pavement, unlike the motorised vans.

This is the best retort for any situation.

@Rendel Harris I wonder if they will park in cycle lanes like the vans do.

@courteousdriver And your pearl clutching, sanctimonious, holier than thou pompous lecturing gives a fairly good insight into your personality. I notice that you have completely failed to address the fact that by your own admission you were breaking the law by driving in the oncoming traffic lane when there was traffic present, choosing instead to whine once again about the fact that one of the cyclists towards whom you drove illegally shook their fist at you (oh the horror, thoughts and prayers with you and your family at this difficult time). Cheerio Nigel (if only).

@Christopher Clifton Most if not all police forces have now transferred responsibility for parking offences to local councils and will only prosecute, as far as I'm aware, parking on the zigzag lines of a crossing. Local councils won't accept video evidence, they only prosecute when one of their own wardens discovers and documents the events themselves, so unfortunately, as usual, Mr Park-as-I-Please Beemer gets away with it.

"motorways aren’t really fragmented" Here in Glasgow we're campaigning to fragment the motorway: https://removethem8.org.uk/ I did once get an apology from a taxi driver who shouted 2Why aren't you using the bike lane?" when I pointed out it was a contraflow bike lane for cyclists going the other way down the one-way street. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Howard+St,+Glasgow/@55.8565131,-4.2539604,3a,75y,290.55h,63.82t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1sfvexj6ssiGo4jBskrfBo7A!2e0!5s20190801T000000!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fcb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26pitch%3D26.177122615053015%26panoid%3Dfvexj6ssiGo4jBskrfBo7A%26yaw%3D290.5468955080776!7i16384!8i8192!4m6!3m5!1s0x48884698c69d0d4f:0xca6d3d947819f6e2!8m2!3d55.8563738!4d-4.2530347!16s%2Fg%2F1tg4__qq?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDcyNy4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D

Royal Mail bringing new anything should be welcomed with open arms. They have flagship depots that have the latest. The vans in smaller depots come with a smell of rubber bands and cigarettes. With an "in house" mot testing facility allowing vans to pass an mot without a proper check. Ive been asked to drive vans with no shock absorbers. Taped up doors with masking tape. And told to drive around in 1st gear all day. Steer clear of RM vans!

@mitsky will be along in a moment to point out that you can't prosecute a car.
