No wonder..

Well I'm sure you'll be able to justify it so don't worry too much. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you though.

what the hell are you talking about ?

You've admitted to breaking the law, so I assume you're a member of a profession which allows some sort of exemption, like the police. So I'm just wondering how you go about justifying your actions. I would have thought there'd be some kind of system for it is all.

Tell me if I'm way off.

OK, I'll bite: where exactly on Otley Road do you think it would be safe to overtake single file cyclists without moving into the next lane?

Is this where you join up for Stockholm CC?

What was your motivation in 'beeping' the cyclist? What did you hope to achieve?

Hey everyone - you know when you are sat at the traffic lights and the car in front does not move, and you use your horn - you are all breaking the law.

Forget the suicidal cyclist that passed right through the lights though, that's of no consequence.

And don't think you can get round it by using a gong...

You're out on the feet to metres conversion.

True, it’s 0.914 meters, but I’d rather they gave me 1.5 meters to be honest

Yes, we discussed that one not that long ago and while I wouldn't use the horn in that situation, I can understand why some people do - there does at least seem to be a purpose to it. However...

I admit to laughing when I read your earlier post quoting the cyclist's response.

What exactly did you hope to achieve by beeping in this case?

A demonstration of impotent rage, perhaps? Not the proper use of the horn, but I think it's only a minor fault in one's driving test.

Losing your temper is only a minor fault? Terrifying.

I handed myself in to the police a while ago. I have limited internet access from the cell. Be seeing you.
