Any idiot, regardless of the vehicle they're operating.

It's 106 miles to Portman Road, we've got a full tank of gas, half a round of Port Salut, it's dark... and we're wearing blue tinted sunglasses.

Cyclists in my experience. There they are sweating away like pigs in wigs in their oh so fashionable Lycra and pointy hat wobbling all over the road, getting in the way and causing tailbacks and damage to the planet with unnecessary emissions (from bike rider and delayed car!).

They display an air of ‘look at me, I’m doing my bit for the planet’ while forgetting what the bike is made of. Lastly, they don’t pay a penny piece towards the roads they use and are a menace to pedestrians jumping lights and selfishly ignoring others. I’d ban them all.

Only joking. Couldn’t resist a rant 😀

The real answer is that any road user, from cyclist to biker, Bond Bug to Ferrari, Transit to container lorry that is selfish enough to not show consideration to other road users go into my black book. And that’s from a crazy person that drives an Audi!

I must fess up. It was me. I was driving home from golf the other Sunday when I got stuck behind someone doing 35 in a 40 zone. I mean, how dare they. After a couple of miles of purple faced frustration and aborted overtaking moves, I suddenly realised that I was being a dick. I wasn't even in a hurry. So I backed off, turned the music up and enjoyed the drive. I think I've changed my attitude. Btw, as a long-time cyclist, I think cyclists who ride three or four abreast just to make a point are also dicks.

Can cyclist ride 4 abreast ? Surely not enough space

There are benefits to everybody of cyclists riding side by side on a 'normal' road.

1. Takes up the whole lane like a car does which prevents motorists still trying to squeeze through when there's traffic coming the other way - a process likely to kill a cyclist or get the driver a kicking at the next set of lights.

2. Takes up half as much road length making overtaking easier - although to be fair, if the driver is still the sort of dick who passes within a metre, he can get back in quicker.

Having said that I don't do it either, because while most motorists are fine, it only takes one moron.

What we need is a massive investment in quality cycle tracks. A win for the cyclists, the poor delayed motorists and the NHS - both in terms of accidents and general health.

Investing in cycle tracks is a massive no brainer.

I live in the countryside and groups of cyclists often block the country lanes by riding 3 or 4 abresst, taking up the whole width of the road. It almost feels like a protest against cars and car drivers.

Most single track lanes are not wide enough for a car to pass a cyclist. Car drivers have a responsibility to wait and cyclists have a responsibility to pull in to let the car pass when they can.

Car drivers who insist on sticking to the speed limits are the worst. There was I the other week towing the caravan up the M1 trying to keep between a steady 90-100mph and approached some idiot in the outside lane doing 70mph. Flashed my lights a couple of times to get him to move over, there wasn't anyone in the middle or inside lane, nope wouldn't move over. The typical I'm doing 70mph, its the speed limit I'm not moving over, these people should read the highway code. Anyway that forced me to move into the middle lane, floor the pedal and hit 110mph to undertake him, and as I moved back into the outside lane he was upset as I think the caravan nearly clipped him. Road users like him are dangerous



But re your question, cyclists who use cycle lanes are the worst, those who hog the white line in the middle of the road are the best. I've never seen a bad caravaner

Would be a perfect list if you included "or using their mobile phone"...

I'd rather be dealing with a driver that's had a pint than one using their mobile, because at least they are focusing on what they're doing, even if it is a bit impaired.

Definitely cars and vans. The fact of being in most other modes of transport - walking, cycling, motorbike, motorhome, lorries (usually) - makes *most* people default to being careful/aware, because they have to be. IMO car driving (being somehow widely accepted as 'normal' or 'proper' use of a road) makes people relax too much. Very often subconscious, but there is a dangerous complacence and sometimes arrogance associated with driving a car. It's a lethal weapon, and not enough people remember that.
