How do the police or a cyclist prove that you didn't us the 'Dutch Reach' technique if you hit a passing cyclist?
Cyclists are being advised to ride down the middle of the road now, I can see that being popular.
Vic.
Not quite true. The new guidence (not Law or Rule) states they should ride "in the centre of their lane on quiet roads, in slower-moving traffic and at the approach to junctions or road narrowings". So not on main roads.
Does anyone take a cycling proficiency course any more ? Surely keeping away from parked vehicles should be on the core training ( as well as being basic common sense ). How about having proper lights on a bike, that should be made a legal requirement, Oh, it already is - somebody needs to tell the cyclists in our area, when I used to travel to and from work I often had 'stealth' cyclists scooting around, impossible to see. I don't often travel in dark in mornings any more, may do in evening - but I bet the same suspects are at it.
