Worst Drivers

[Mandy]

Some Lorry drivers
They seem to forget there back end doesn't always follow the same route as their front end and I have nearly come a cropper a couple of times on some bends.
When I see/hear one behind me on the narrow bendy road that I travel too and from work on, I normally stop, pull right into the kerb and let them pass and then go on my merry way unsquished

Solution. Sprit up to the rear, grab on and get a tow.

If you had to pass a cycling proficiency test before you could even apply for a driving licence I think it would help make the roads safer for cyclists.

I still have my Gloucestershire County Council cycling proficiency badge from the 80s

Anybody wearing a hat and me. Got cought speeding the other day

First time in 17 years but lukily got away with a speed awareness course so no points.

BMW drivers are bad but old people are worse, many pass far too close. I have started using led flashers all the time and they help a lot even in daylight.

Oops, I failed mine back in the early 70's
I remember my mum and dad not being best pleased and I never went back for a re-take

Yep, sorry, got mine from the (late) 60's - 1968

Agree with virtually all the above comments, but does no one have trouble with VW Golf's? They seem to feature prominently in my 'most feared' list when I'm on my bike! What about Volvo estates - especially the old, tank like ones.....I shudder to think about some of them!

Most small to medium van drivers. Today I almost got pushed off the road by an AA van! thought they would know better. Perhaps it was alcoholics anonymous not the Automobile Association
