https://twitter.com/ClaireExists/status/1281967026186199040It started out when a friend tweeted a picture of a sign on a country road that advised keeping a clear gap when overtaking. In came someone I didn't know, who went straight into the middle of the road shite.
I stayed as polite as I could manage, explaining Primary and linking to That Photo of an overtaken cyclist in the Highway Code.
What I got back was a "Yebbut, primary means I can't overtake when there's oncoming traffic!" There was also the usual shite about RLJ. s, registration, and so on. I apologised to the friend whose feed it was on, and stepped away.
Having done so, of course the loonspud continued, and, having dropped a slight hint of 2you don't use the cycle paths2, I was expecting the usual effluent flow of HELMUTZ, ROAD TAX and so on. What I got was an actual surprise: cyclists lurk at the side of roads waiting for passing cars they can jump under in order to make insurance claims. A sort of "tetraplegic for cash" conspiracy.
I am not engaging any more, as the person (who claims, natch, to be a cyclist) is beyond reason.
Feel free to have some fun.
