More from white van man

Well if it applies to cyclists then I'm sure it does to bike riders too; it's official, WVM is bleedin' dangerous (but we knew that anyway). (Great pic though .) . |

Kin ell they already have special cycle lanes what more do they want. They will be expecting them to stop for red lights soon and ban them from riding on zebra crossings Tax the barstewards for using my road I say I have four vehicles and can only drive one at a time ------all that road fund so they can have more space?
On a serious note I do object to the box at traffic lights when you end up with 6-8 cyclists in it and they hold up the flow of traffic when Mr Livingstone has already shortened the light sequence |

The point not mentioned is that the WVM is probably25-30cms wider than your average car so to be in the middle of the available road space the vehicle is taking up 10cms both sides of this space Surveys and statistics----oh such joys
All I can say is he will be in for a shock if he measures truck clearances to other vehicles in London.s streets,more like 10cms total clearance,but as long as we don't hit them thats OK |
