Lovely bit of traffic jam road rage here, with the driver of S164JRP and his dog giving the cyclist a hard time for trying to cross through near-stationary traffic
There's a bit of fun after 1:10 where the driver in front says a lot of kids come that way -would he have stopped then?
To which the driver says "I would have stopped for a kid but not 'im!"
We don't advocate showing preferential treatment to anyone -children, adults, slow-moving elderly. If you let kids cross the road safely, then you will lure them into complacency which will only get them run over as they get older. Furthermore, there's the question of "when does adulthood begin?". Do you stop for kids under 16 but not above that? Is 18 the threshold -even if they are still at school?
It's just too hard to discriminate this way -just abuse everyone and be done with it.
In which we explore the options for getting round Bristol (*), and the consequences of those decisions. (*) Excluding Fishponds.

ReplyDeleteWow - was that guy even going to make it to the end of the traffic queue without having heart attack? If someone is so almost speechless with rage, then they have some serious issues going on, and (IMO) probably shouldn't be behind the wheel... Maybe having a decaf latte and a foot rub, or something...
