It's bad enough having getting scratched, bruise and punched now when
daring to use a pedestrian crossing or controlled crossing in a
manner which might require a cyclist to extend his (or very rarely

Every time (at least so far) that I have nearly been struck on
pedestrian crossings the criminal has ben a motorist.


Are you sure it isn't your attitude? I've been driving cars/
riding bicycles and m/bikes for over 40 yrs and only ever
encountered 'one' stroppy motorist,who seemed to have a srew loose.

I've been a pedestrian for even longer than that and can recall exactly one
stroppy driver who didn't want to accord precedence to my wife and myself
when we were using a (zebra) crossing.

He was foreign, and I now know they don't do things our way in his country.
