What was the bicyclist doing so far away from the left side of the road? I am often in this position when approaching a right turn. Is that wrong? Legally, no. However in times of reduced visibility it may be unwise. I have an aversion to explaining that I am in the right from bed 13 of the Intensive Care Unit. I will never suggest that blind faith is a substitute for judgement. Great! I quite often use a "hook turn" if i need to turn right in heavy traffic. Cross the intersection on green on the left, then stop in front of the cars on the left of the cross road (they will have red), then when the lights turn green go straight ahead. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ____________________o| |________________ --------------------! | ^ | ^--- _____________________ | ________________ o| | | | ^ | | | | | | | | | | | ^ | | | | That is certainly a possible bail out. There are other permutations, depending on junction layout. But to understand why he was in the position he was is not a difficult question. Sure. It just shows that everyone using the roads, including bicyclists and drivers, must be vigilant and considerate at all times As I grow older, I find myself more and more attracted to that approach. --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. http://www.avg.com |

It depends on how quickly you get there from wherever you are beforehand, and whether or not you accord priority to other vehicles appropriately and in compliance with the rules. The basic rule is that one should not cause one's vehicle to move into the path of another vehicle if doing so will necessitate a change of speed or direction for that other vehicle. So you will be able to see that the answer to your question is "maybe". Since I was asking in response to Peter's post I hoped he would give his view without you butting in. This is a newsgroup. It is. If you prefer, you may communicate with Peter by email. It's not difficult to notice a targeted question and let that person have first reply. There is no requirement to that effect. Your whole existence seems to work round rules (made by other people). Make a decision for yourself occasionally. Have you swapped personalities with Wilkinson Sword? If you ask a question on usenet, anyone may answer it. If you don't for just anyone to answer it, ask it in an email. There is also mid ground which should be easy to identify. Clearly, some people don't get it. Usenet : public Email : private Simple social protocol. A group of people are chatting away in a room, ie, it is a "public" conversation. Person A gives an opinion. Person B asks "why do you say that?". Person A pauses to think further about it but before answering Person C thinks they have something to offer and jumps in. Annoying and sometimes rude. Let person A speak first to produce the meat for general discussion. It is "public" all along but all C needs to have is the capacity to LISTEN for one exchange. |
