1329952	2013-02-27 00:02:00	I think cyclists now know they do not own the road any more. There seems to be an attitude change by cyclists receently, they know how much some car drivers like myself hate them and their flagrant disobeying of traffic lights, give way and stop signs and cycling 2 abreast or not keeping left. I have been sorely tempted to knock these people of their bikes in the past but I haven't had a road rage incident with them for months.	prefect (6291)
1329953	2013-02-27 00:03:00	Perhaps the drivers undertaking on the left of a right turning vehicle could slow down to give themselves more time and control of the vehicle. Just saying Plus there will always be some old fart who swings right before pulling into a driveway on the left.	PaulD (232)
1329954	2013-02-27 00:14:00	Always remember to wait for the cyclist to attempt to undertake your left-indicating vehicle on the the left before turning into your driveway or to check that there is one actually present when opening your door when parallel parked. How else can they be exterminated? Remember, cyclists cannot actually stop or slow down when to do so might save their lives.	Blue Druid (4480)
1329955	2013-02-27 00:30:00	It must be remembered that cycling is a sport, not just a means of transport. Therefore they are obliged to ride as fast as they can because they are in a race, even when they're alone. It is this that makes it imperative that they ignore any road rules that could conceivably slow them down and excuses all manner of rudeness and inconsideration on their part. Cage drivers are the enemy and must be treated as such.	Blue Druid (4480)
1329956	2013-02-27 00:57:00	Always remember to wait for the cyclist to attempt to undertake your left-indicating vehicle on the the left before turning into your driveway If you've just swept past the cyclist in your limousine you may want to consider Land Transport (Road User) Rule 2004 "2.6 General requirements about passing other vehicles (3) A driver must not, when passing another vehicle moving in the same direction, move into the line of passage of that vehicle until the manoeuvre can be made safely and without impeding the movement of that other vehicle." This scenario was part of the web based training for the last left/right turning give way changes.	PaulD (232)
1329957	2013-02-27 01:09:00	It's him sweeping past on the left of my almost-stationery vehicle at 50 km/h that bothers me. Especially when he's been keeping pace with me in my blind spot and I've given him plenty of warning as to my intentions. Rule 2.6 (3) applies equally to a cyclist overtaking on the left.

1329958	2013-02-27 02:59:00	There are also stupid vehicle drivers as will. Was coming up to a intersection on my bike which I was going strait through and this guy pulls up on my right in this van full of kids and proceeds to turn left cutting me off. I yelled out at him and he stopped and I swerved round the front of his van and kept on going. I was wearing a high viz vest. His brain must of been where the sun don't shine. :)	Trev (427)
1329959	2013-02-27 04:05:00	Aren't cyclists supposed to wait in the front of the line now and then zip to the side as quickly as possible to let the first car go? On some intersections there is even a painted area in front for them.	DeSade (984)
