[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 1068007, member: 13739"] Not much scarier things on the road than vehicles passing you as a cyclist too close at speed. Lorries were the worst because they create a bit of a vacuum beside them, so you'd feel yourself getting sucked in towards the lorry as it passed, not pleasant at all! My dad moans when cyclists ride two abreast. I've told him a million times that it's to increase their visibility and force drivers to properly consider their overtaking maneuver instead of squeezing past when it isn't safe to do so. It's only ever a few seconds worth of delay before there's a safe place to pass, so I don't understand motorists who kick up a fuss. But there lies the issue with 99% of issues on the road, impatience! Don't understand why people worry about a few seconds or minutes as soon as they get behind the wheel, I bet most faffed around before leaving the house! [/QUOTE]
