Great comment at the end if you want to skip.

It comes as no surprise.

I was overtaken more than once by cyclists on the Sorrentino and Amalfi
coast last month.

Their choice of course and long may they survive to repeat it, but I was
driving as carefully as the road conditions (and the speed limits) demanded.

Did you immediately pull over and let the faster traffic past?

I always keep as far to the nearside as is necessary.

Do you?

That is not what I asked.

What do you understand to be the meaning of the word "always"?

A film starring Richard Dreyfuss, Holly Hunter, John Goodman and Audrey Hepburn.

There's *your* first problem right the lack of basic comprehension.

Functionally you either are a non-reader or have a very low reading age.

Or is it too difficult for you?

Did you pull over and delay your journey so the faster traffic would not be inconvenienced?
That is what you have claimed cyclists are required to do.

Does the British Highway Code apply in Italy?
When did that start?

So you only follow common courtesy when required to do by law.
Heinlein was right yet again.

Let's try your basic comprehension skills (such as they are) once again,
though probably without a great deal of hope.

"I always keep as far to the nearside as is necessary".

Now... take that one word at a time, use a dictionary as necessary
(start by looking up "always", then "necessary") and try again.

Let's know how you get on.


Childish insults aside, you are still evading the question.

When you were aware a faster moving vehicle wanted to pass you did you move over and let it pass even if that involved delaying your journey?
It is a simple Yes or No question and only requires a simple Yes or No answer.


When did it become necessary?

Be precise.

[You can look up "precise" if necessary; in fact, I recommend you do so.]


More childish insults.

Just answer the Yes or No question with either Yes or No.

Very scenic ride but no bike lane, no emergency lane, no shoulder, nothing but hair pin curves off cliffs. Maybe a botanist could tell the difference but other than that it's identical to a California "historical highway." One mistake and you are history.

Everyone on the road would be much happier and safer with transponders on bikes.

Which bit of "I always keep as far to the nearside as is necessary" are
you unable to understand?

We can take it a word at a time (with reference to a dictionary as
necessary) if you like.

Have you yet been able to work out what "I always keep as far to the
nearside as is necessary" means?

Or do you prefer to keep up the pretence that you're too thick to
understand a simple sentence in plain English?

What if it is 'necessary' to pull over and delay your journey to let the faster traffic past?
Do you do that or are you just a hypocrite?


Or do you prefer to keep up the pretence that you're too thick to
understand a simple sentence in plain English?


Is it possible for you to make your 'point' without the playground name calling?
