Stop digging, for your own sake

Off all the people in this thread, I reckon you have the least understanding of the rotr. No wonder you got sacked from the Bus job.

We don't agree on some things but why you did a job, how long you did it for, how it worked out for you is no one's business but your own and although I don't sometimes take this advice myself here - I wouldn't give the guy the oxygen of internalising it to the point where you feel you have to react with personal insight.

That is very true and thank you for that.

But I didn't

When Rightobikeit did that last week in one of his videos, following exactly the rules of the road, he got a needless punishment pass from the SUV driver.

I didn't mention punishment passing or justifying it. I don't think it is ever justified.
All I said was the only place in the rules of the road a cyclist gets priority is per what I posted.

It's a shared lane? Cyclists/cars don't have priority and must share the space?. I've nothing else to add unless you have some links other than you preaching about what it is. I couldn't find any but I'm working so didn't look very hard tbh

The best I could find relating to the symbol was on a cycling website, I don't even know what country but the symbol is the same.
These markings don’t mean you get to ride blithely in the middle of the road; they don’t provide the cyclists any special protection or rights. The markings simply show motorists that the road is commonly used by cyclists and that they should look out for bikes

Just bare in mind also, it was the County Council that designed that road a few years back so little wonder the design is questionable.

Just a single link would solve all your problems here

Do you understand the 2 rules I posted above coming together and that the motorist does not have the right to pass?

 

[PROCNA2018]

So you can't comprehend the 2 rules coming together? Hang up the keys kid.

Rules of the road don't support what you said.
I didn't think they did but even when I prove it to you, you won't accept it.

As I said, we all have to use the road - your adversarial attitude to motorists leads to danger - in the same way that punishment passing leads to danger. Mutual respect and a to be and we all arrive safely.

Still waiting

So you don't understand ?
