Oh dear! This thread does appear to be descending into a trollfest. Shame! My time is limited, so I don't have time to scroll through the rot to fond the reasonable questions and points. What I will do is post something that I wrote a while ago with regards to cycle lanes and their nature which cont...

So could you explain which part of your FAQ applies to your extended travels outside of the cycle lane where there were no hazards (for more than 10 seconds) and vehicles could pass safely? Being out of a cycle lane and being in primary position are two completely separate things. In my clip approa...

The location is here http://bit.ly/gjDgxL I was coming from the north (where the white car is just entering the roundabout).

Hi Safespeedv2, Wow! That's a detailed reply! Unfortunately I'm only passing through at the moment, but I should have a chance tomorrow to go through it and answer as much as I can. Two things I'll say just now, first off, I'm certainly not perfect. Perhaps there was something I could have done that...
