Not the views of SPT?

A taxi passes a bit close, I suggest to him that he should have given me at least 3 feet. We have a reasonable chat. II give the driver the benefit of the doubt. However, a bloke walks past wearing an SPT (Strathclyde Partnership for Transport which is a correction to the video!) hi-vis and makes a few interesting comments...

(The young bloke at the end mentions a name which I have muted from the video and I have hidden his face).

@earthfire1980

He may not work for SPT, but his jacket did say that, it just doesn't show on camera.

As for road rage...LOL! Feel free to report me!

Cyclists are Entitled to use the Road in Safety and that means Respect from Motorists. The Motorists need to change their Attitudes and give cyclists Room to move in Safety. If they cannot give a Cyclist 3ft of space they must slow down in Order to pass by without knocking them off their Bike or else shoving them off by the Back Draft of Air as they Speed by.

Car Phobic Britain has got to get Rid of the Attitude and Return the Streets to the People and Restrict the use of the Motorcar .

@sunnyjoe66 Why do You capitalize Random words in your Sentence that Don't need To be Capitalized?!?

[battlestarone]

why dont bike user have to carry insurance and complete a course on there own personal road safety,i see bike users going through red lighst every day,and riding a long pavements intended for people with two legs to use,,,,what would happen if they caused serios injury or death,a push bike can easy do 25-30 mph i am sure flat out,so why no insurance or tests for push bike users,there are road users after all.,,some countrys i am sure have this and reg plates for push bikes.

@magnatom I did show him it... he said thats his five minutes of fame over now for good

[superdialysis]

i always give cyclists a wide berth as i know they have a rite to use the road but a couple if days ago i was driving up a one way street and as i rounded the corner there were 5 cyclists coming straight towards me and only that they looked to be serious cyclists as they had all the top gear on incuding helmet cams, but they dont put that on utube.

@magnatom If you look up 'road rage' in the dictionary, it says,' hitting cars, overreacting, starting arguments, screaming like a little girl, always thinking you're right, shaking your head at everyone within visual range, and riding in the middle of the road forever so no one can pass and basically acting like David who has a channel called magnatom. To learn how to piss off everyone within two square miles while riding a bike please watch his videos. XDXDXD I haven't laughed so hard indays!

[nockerbill]

The driver clearly gives you enough space you sad little twirp. I would literally have told you to FUCKOFF!
