For some reason cars don't think they have to give way to two-wheeled vehicles, because they assume we can just move over and give way to them.
On my work commute there's plenty of 30mph roads with parked cars on both sides. Now, the highway code is give way to traffic whose lane is clear (i.e. if there are parked cars on your side, give way). Cars rarely stop for me (motorbike), and it's annoying. And some just rip through far too fast, as well, it's not a slalom!
(2) Democracy? No, if you want to comment on one of my videos, then you're on my territory and its up to me whether or not your comment gets deleted. Deal with it.
(3) What comment? This is the same as point (1), but its really key to the whole thing. What the heck are you talking about?
The motorist? Probably. Thing is, the car slowed down in response to me being right in his way, and that makes it a lot less dangerous for another cyclist to squeeze through that gap.
Who, the motorist? Thing is, I slowed the car to a stop and made him move right over. Day in, day out I see what happens if you don't do this there, the car remains close to the middle of the narrow lane and cyclists scoot right through almost skimming the bollards. And when you (correctly) claim road space there, then yesm, the motorists get WELL pissed off :)

It is a primitive thing I feel. They get a sense of power whilst in their vehicles that they probably don't experience in everyday life.
