Cyclists will be given green light to ignore one-way signs

[Garage_Doors]

So who will have right of way,

At the moment although cyclist already do it, a little bit of them know its wrong, so are a bit careful going against traffic.

Giving the green light to cyclists saying they can go the wrong way will give them the impression they have right of way, or equal to and ride accordingly

What happens when they end up under the wheels of a car, bus , lorry,
because they will, who will the blame be apportion to ?


I don’t think they have thought this through properly.

As a cyclist, I can say I've never gone the wrrong way down a one way system, and further to that, I don't support this plan at all. It's a stupid idea.

 

[Easy 10]

EVERY light is a green light to most cyclists anyway.

Just remember who gets hurt! Won't be the car driver, hurrah!

As a cyclist of ten miles a day, there is a part of my route that would be much shorter on the return journey if I could ignore a one way system. But I don't, because that would be dangerous. For that reason, I completely agree with you. What f***ing dumbass idea this is.

Half the reason cyclists get bad press from the assortment of lazy fat twats on NSC is because the truth is that they are an afterthought in the context of the nation's transport system. Make them pay £20 a year in tax, and give cyclists a proper, well thought out, network of their own.

Cyclists should be exempt from all rules. We are a national collosus that benefit the economy in many ways. In fact, I think cyclists should be given tax breaks.

I'd empathise with your irony a lot more if you replaced "cyclist" with "black cab driver". Scourge of the roads IMO, who think they own the roads (and behave accordingly) because they drive for a living AND pay more than everyone else in order to pick people up off the pavement.

lazy fat twats.......

although thinking about it, I would rather be a lazy fat twat than an energentic fat twat...

 

[Simster]

lazy fat twats.......jeez Simster you really are up your own arse sometimes

(only said it to get a reaction, but some people are equally ignorant of cyclists in fairness)

damn, I edited!

I think cyclists should be given leg breaks.

Totally agree-I'll see if I can help out later today.

Condemning all cyclists as a mobile health hazard is about as valid as saying all Palace fans are conceived within a marital partnership. However the cycle clubs that use the road where I live are bastards. Why do they have to ride three abreast down a narrow country lane ?

I agreed with you at first... But what about viaduct road - it's a nightmare trying to cycle from east Brighton to Hove because of that one way system.

The one way system on viaduct road is why I cycle down to the sea front and along. The time is probably negligible (? that word doesn't look right), because the added time in distance is balanced by the added time of cycling up a steep hill.


For the record, I also stop at red lights. I was congratulated by a drunk man for doing so once. Weird.

Surely he should have been concentrating on his driving.

 

[Gazwag]

I only ever see them on paths in towns

 

[Stat Brother]

In fairness it already appiles, all you need is a royal mail uniform and postie bike.
We (I at least) can ride where we damn well please.

But ONLY when working

 

[Dirty Dave]

what really pisses me off cycling to and from work is when I'm in the cycle lane and a car cuts across right in front of me to turn left without checking their f***ing mirrors

 

[upthealbion1970]

stupid idea, as usual it will be the car driver blamed when a cyclist unexpectedly pulls across the road and lands up on the car bonnet! although the idea of taxinx cyclists would be good - but only if the revenue is used to castrate those found to be riding like a lunatic
