The most arrogant of vehicle operators

[Mortblanc]

I spend a good deal of time on projects and as I work I enjoy having various music and sometimes landscape videos going on the TV.

You Brits have some good channels of various types and one of them is some bloke with a go-pro riding the buss from town to town. He sits up there in the front top level and gets some really nice scenery of your country lanes and landscape.

In the course of watching these films I have discovered the single class of people that are probably the most rude individuals the world has ever known.

I hate to say it, but they are British bicycle riders!

On almost every trip I watch there is a person on a bicycle blocking the roadway doing 6 MPH in a 45, sometimes 6MPH in a 70!. They refuse to yield, move out of the way, or take any stab at human courtesy. Traffic laws do not apply to them and neither do stop lights or pedestrian rights. That road is theirs and you have no right to expect them to get their push bike out of the way.

Just now I watched a bike rider on a dual carriageway move from lane to lane blocking traffic purposely, and a bus at that.

I noticed it immediately due to knowing that mopeds are not allowed on dual carriageways but apparently push bikes are?

Their lives would not be worth the greasy spot they would leave on the roads I drive. One of the local SUV drivers would knock then over the next ditch so far they would not be found until someone saw the buzzards circling.
