Why is the title of this "Deliberate dangerous riding?" There is nothing dangerous in the description that follows.
That seems to the quite unfathomable issue on this thread.
I'll spell it out for you.
1.The road in a narrow,but not single-track, signed National speed limit,ie 60mph road.
2.Any vehicle travelling upto 60mph is within the law to do so.
3.If a vehicle travelling slower
deliberately moves to slow a vehicle,without being able to tell what speed the vehicle is approaching then that vehicle is dangerously driving or in this case riding.
As it happens I was approaching at half the designated limit when the rider moved into the middle of the road.Had I being doing the legal limit the outcome could have been different.Sooner or later this
will backfire on the rider and he will one be going over the bonnet of a car.That's his choice.If that rider happens to be you or indeed any other member you will get no sympathy from me if you are clearly at fault.
How anyone can see this as anything but dangerous behaviour is beyond me.Oh wait though,he's a cyclist so obviously it's OK?Thank fully I rarely encounter idiots like him,who try as I might,I cannot defend when constantly arguing with friends who don't cycle and think we all need banning from the roads.
