This womans comment amazes me! Please make some comments to her, I know I will! Thanks all

Whats the point. Having a look at some of her current replies she will never accept that she isnt right!

I live and commute by bike in London and everyday i see BAD examples of driving some that have resulted in major close calls with myself or colleagues but i see just as many BAD examples of riding by commuters on bicycles. I am not surprised that some motorists dont respect as us road users considering the way what is sometimes a majority of us ride on public roads.

Quite a few drivers, almost everywhere, are poor drivers. Take a look at these youtube videos:

In Russia:

In Dubai:

US, California: apparently the pylons and tail lights of stopped vehicles
aren't enough to prevent cars from overdriving their headlights, resulting in a
multi-car pileup.

It must be hard to see that bus coming, why not pull out in front?

They seem to misjudge the turn sharpness:

The train and stopped car don't seem to register with this semi driver. The car even tries to get out of the way and help the rig clear before it's too late.

Are we, cyclists, fugin mad😠for wanting to share the road with this minority of driver seat occupiers. :eek:

Read this. It makes for sad viewing

It's the same or worse in the US. Here they like to tear by you missing by about a foot, changing lanes if required to get at you. Other than mandatory psychiatric screening for all drivers i see no answer. Probably part of the same mentality that likes to invade other countries.
