    They really need to change the title to “look and don’t care”

    Drivers take insane risks to not have to sit behind a bicycle.

    I often get passed right before a bend where it’s impossible to see what’s coming, leaving barely any room to maneuver.

    Even when they see a car coming, many still attempt (and often fail) to pass me.

    At crossings, they simply not care and keep driving, even if you have right of way.

    It’s not that they don’t see you, they just expect you to not take a risk against a car.

      The local heart sugery unit in the hospital really needs to encourage the surgeons to start turning up in plenty of time before the start of their shift.

      It’s crazy how many of them out on the streets are cutting it so fine that they can’t follow along for a little while until it is safe to overtake.

        @oo1 @Hawk
        Are you implying that if your job is important that you should have superior rights to use public space? What if the person on the bicycle is also a heart surgeon on their way to work?
