[QUOTE="SoundMan, post: 6174319, member: 28532"] One more time for the hard of reading - I have NEVER performed a "punishment pass". :roll: When I encounter horses on the road - getting rarer these days - I always exercise extreme caution as the horse could be easily startled and would likely cause serious damage not only to its rider but possibly to me and my vehicle. I also exercise caution with big artics and busses turning corners where they frequently would come into my lane to make a turn - Parliament Bridge is one such place where busses/artics in the right hand lane going over the bridge cut into the left hand lane to make the turn. Just because someone on the road is entitled to be in the lane, discretion can be the better part of valour when encountering people driving a much larger vehicle - sure if there's a collision you'd be in the right but it's scant consolation if you're injured that you were in your own lane when hit by the bus/truck. That's why when I cycle I'm very aware of traffic around me, give signals in good time, obey the rules of the road, and I cycle defensively - my own health and safety is a priority to me. [/QUOTE]
