Blues and Twos v cyclists

:unamused:

It’s garbage, based on a garbled quote from a Telegraph article:

Point made to @Telegraph: Segregated cycle lanes save lives, however ‘raised curbs’ can obstruct drivers from allowing ambulances to pass.

Replying to @ParamedicsUK @Telegraph
We are disappointed with how these comments have been reported and request that emergency vehicles are considered when planning highways.

A trucker who believes stuff he reads in the Daily Mail, amazeballs.

I know.

That’s the point.

Drivers here compare people on bikes to “vermin” and boast of close passes. Any viral video film of cyclists getting hurt get posted here with relish. Cyclists are called “scum” “road kill” and blamed for killing children that don’t exist. Any remotely negative article about cyclists is seized upon. It doesn’t matter if it’s a load of old trousers like this one. It’s so pointless. You will never enjoy driving if every time you see a person on a bike you hate them but this forum is full of violently angry truck drivers who openly brag about how mush they despise cyclists. It’s all very odd. We’re just people the same as you, trying to get to work safe. Calm down. Cyclists aren’t your enemy. Don’t let the Daily Mail live in your head rent free.

I think you’re overstating things a bit. It’s the PSV drivers you need to be worried about…

John Wayne apparently wasn’t a cycling fan, and he used to work for stagecoach.

Youre awfully upset about the way people on here talk about cyclists considering the last post I saw of yours was insulting a guy who died when his lorry crashed and gleefully jumping on it to point score about paying taxes.
Maybe get your own house in order first eh

Thats it, premod for you.
That joke made my eyes bleed :laughing:

There’s no need for the bleeding eye bleedin joke … ta very much :laughing:

The missus again? :slight_smile:

TiredAndEmotional:
The missus again? :slight_smile:

Not this time, had dry eyes and rubbed it too hard with a towel, gave me quite a fright when I first saw it … called a ‘subconjunctival hemorrhage’ or for you an me … busted blood vessel … :slight_smile:

You were the one who lied about the child’s death. It’s no surprise you’re making stuff up again. His lorry didn’t crash, he drove off a bridge.

so what’s your definition of a crash then :unamused: ■■ I thought it were when one or more vehicles came into contact with something that it shouldn’t have done …

Sounds a bit like pre-op somethingorother… do I need to be concerned?!

First of all, no I didnt. A cyclist hit the child and knocked her down and she died. He admitted he could have moved but didnt.
telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/ … hears.html

Secondly, I showed you a video and news story of a cyclist who knocked down a toddler and didnt stop. You claimed he had and waited on the police so dont accuse me of making stuff up. Youre the one who has form for that

Thirdly, crashed/drove off it doesnt really matter. You really want to nitpick over the wording? Youre response was still pathetic, childish and immature, much like your one here, so as I said, get your own house in order first. Your hatred for lorry drivers isnt even concealed so having a go at everyone on here for not liking cyclists is extremelly hypocritical
