I was driving to brighton this morning in car and shocked at number of motorcyclists who ignored the empty and wide bus/bike lane chosing to filter up the outside of slow moving traffic. This was on top of the motoryclist pulling a trailer at 80mph.
I put myself top of the list having tried to move my bike yesterday without removing the d lock from the front wheel. I misplaced my usual visual reminder and bike ended up on its side with my lucky to have not ended up underneath
Do motorcyclists have below average intelligence?

Re: Do motorcyclists have below average intelligence?
it amazes me too
the great big blue sign says a time .. from - too ...not for general public use and for specific, buses and bikes and motorbikes in sign
two things annoy me regarding them though..
number 1.. i dont understand the ones that DONT include the motorbike symbol, but DO include the pushbike symbol.. WTF
number 2.. EVERYBODY seems to still ignore the fact that the time limit is finished.... and still DONT use the lane... cant people read or dont their necks move upwards as looking down at their phone too much...
rant over

Re: Do motorcyclists have below average intelligence?
The worrying thing about bus lanes is the inconsistency from town to town in who can use them and when. It really does need to be standardised across the UK.
(Is it true that Scotland plans to drive on the right hand side of the road to harmonise with Europe from the 1st Jan 2016 if it's a Yes vote?)

If it's 'Yes', no-one in Scotland will be able to afford a car so it won't matter if they do change to the right-hand side of the road.

Just a shame the English weren't given a say in the matter tbh, you'd have gotten your independance.
