It would be interesting to know whether you really are the
stickler you claim to be. Given the maxim "rules are for the
guidance of the wise and the obedience of fools", one has
wonder where you think you place yourself.

No response. Then it's easy to assume that you are either a fool
or a hypocrite. Which do you prefer to be known by?

Fool or hypocrite?

Are you going to condemn the cyclist who tried to rob the
driver?

You're even more doolally than usual.

Go back and read (if you can) the captions within the video.

Very well. I hadn't watched beyond the 30 seconds covering the
driver's dangerous manouevre round the island.

So what offence defined by road traffic acts is alleged to have been
committed by this imaginary cyclist?

The discussion about a video showing a driver performing a
manouevre when it wasn't safe to do so and your claim that a
cyclist carried out the same offence.

...

Your view, repeated here over and over again, is that no rules
apply to cyclists.

If you're right, then you must have a quote you can paste to show
this.

No quote?

How about the fact they you fail to condemn the actions of a cyclist
who is clearly seen to cycle to the wrong (ie, illegal) side of a
traffic island with a "Keep left" sign on it?

If it is illegal how come the driver was done in court for driving
without due care? That is much harder to determine than the breaking of
a binary offence. The cyclist (the non-imaginary one that caught your
attention) quite clearly did not commit the same offence.

Though in a small way you are right. Using the roads responsibly
and safely is the rule that overrides everything. Safety is not
always negated when a lesser rule is broken.

injure anyone.

Translation: Cyclists are good targets for being made into scapegoats.
