Was driving in the Douglas Road the other evening when some absolute tw@t on a bike came hurtling from Ballinlough Road, dressed in dark clothing and no lighting at all on his bike, he made an illegal right turn onto the road in front of me, mounted the footpath a little further along by the traffic lights and disappeared around the corner down Capwell. The Darwin Awards are crying out for "geniuses" like him and the other beaut I encountered this morning.
I was driving in traffic west along George's Quay intending to drive straight ahead down Sullivan's Quay when this lycra warrior came up the inside cycle lane and extends his arm across my bonnet indicating wish to turn right. He's a lucky boy I sounded my horn because otherwise he'd have been splattered over my bonnet.
Cyclists, please be aware, when you stick out your arm to indicate your desire to turn or change a lane, the extension of your arm does NOT convey on you the right to proceed. Bearing such advice in mind is likely to extend your life expectancy.
