When we overtake we're forced to use the wrong side of the road.<br /> 2) Cyclists don't pay road tax.<br /> 3) Most can't cycle in a straight line.<br /> 4) A lot don't wear any helmets.<br /> 5) Cyclists don't have to obey the Highway Code.<br /> 6) Cyclists have no insurance so if a cyclist damages a car the owner will likely have no compensation.<br /> 7) Some cycle double-abreast, creating an even greater hazard.<br /> 8) They are a danger to themselves and drivers as they can't keep up with a decent road speed. If a car was caught by Police travelling at a cycle's speed the driver would be fined for obstructing others and/or dangerous driving.</p> <p>I'm not sure if it's trolling or not.... </p>
