My point is that you come on a driving group to complain about drivers and post videos demonstrating you braking several driving laws, yet claim to have passed the IAM test several times. You posted one video to demonstrate a car using the right only lane to pass you, then going straight on. Then you posted a video of you using the right only lane to pass a bus, yet you go straight on. You complain about a 'boy racer' car having to brake hard to avoid hitting a pedestrian in the road - not the driver's fault. In that same video you pass over a zebra crossing while it still has pedestrians on it and a while later you posted another video showing you have to brake hard to avoid hitting a pedestrian yourself. Practise what you preach, or stop moaning about other road users doing exactly the same things as you. Careful, he'll put you in his killfile. |

Check again. I never come onto the driving group to complain about drivers - every original post I make is to urc only for a urc "audience". Someone else crossposts to urd, not me. -- Simon Mason |

However, if the car driver wasn't sure, he should have waited. As it was he stopped without actually encroaching on your path. You did make a bit of a meal of going round him, but that's your prerogative! Also, you were wearing sunglasses at night, so maybe he didn't see you! ;-) |
