Of course you are right Thormatuge, but really if they kept to the left here in Thailand when driving instead of hogging the outside lane at the breathtaking speed of 40KMH there would be no need to break the law by passing on the inside lane would there?:rofl:Quote:

Nothing wrong with cycles at all ,I never ever said there was , the problem is many cyclists have no idea what constitutes safe riding etiquette ,as many have no formal training ,and almost 20% of cyclists killed on the UK roads are under 15 , the link in my post #61 from London transport says it all , they strongly advised that cyclists do not do exatly what the cyclists was doing in my video in my post # 51 :) and BTW I had been living in Thailand for almost 7 years when Boris got voted into power and any way I used to live over 300 miles away from London so was not eligible to vote for any one .
Of course its all the fault of those insane HGV drivers and irresponsible car drivers why so many cyclists in inner london are killed and injured every year ,and after watching this video of cyclists in London any one who believes this to be true, may I suggest you go get urgent medical help:smileylaughing: Crazy bikerace through London - YouTube
^I had a friend in the UK who used to work as a dispatch bicycle rider in London for a few years. He had a lot of injuries and a few dead colleagues. Crazy job.
Hey Dave may I suggest you watch the video in my post#84 and just watch how these maniacs "filter" through traffic ,and of course your remarks would be appreciated , truly suicidal :rofl:Quote:

I never said that many drivers are not stupid I thought that was a given ,however the Cyclists in the video in my post#84 have got to be brain dead , and whether cars are banned in the inner city,s or not it will not make any difference to their mental capacity , have you never seen multiple pile ups between cyclists which happens all too frequent in cycling events with no car involved ?:)
I didn't see the cyclists do anything wrong. One lorry had to wait for 5 of them to go straight on...so what? They could have lined-up in front of the lorry instead like the Thais. Nothing "brain dead" about getting to the front of the queue....Quote:
