    I doubt it very much, hard to be hit by a stationary car lol, great imagination you have though.

    I'm pretty sure I'd be able to hold it up, after all, it's a slow manouver, god help the driver when I stop though, I take a very dim view of someone attempting to assault me with their car.

    so, bravado aside, what would you actually do?

    btw, I do like the bit where you say "i'm pretty sure "

    that did give me a chuckle.

    When cyclists start paying road tax and insurance I'll treat them as another vehicle on the road. Until then, move the f00k out of the way and stop cycling in pairs blocking up half the road.

    It's called motor tax. Bicycles don't have a motor.

    It's pretty hilarious that all these law abiding motorists don't know that filtering is 100% legal.

    Oh cheers thanks. I guess Ill just keep half my car in the bus/cycle lane so. As I stated in the original post I stay within my markings. If that's the attitude its no wonder I've been hit a few times. Maybe I should just pull in when I see a bike in my mirror.....

    Who is to blame is pretty irrelevant when you're car is getting hit that often, you should try when possible to leave a bit of room for your own benefit as much as the bikers.

    It's not road tax, it's motor tax which you pay for your motor. If you don't want to pay it, get a bicycle. And you can either "treat them as another vehicle on the road" or not bother getting into your car, because staying on the roads with that attitude will result in somebody getting killed for nothing. And that would be sad.

    I'd make an unholy show of them for a start, TBH if someone had actually tried to hit me I would react (no bravado), cutting off or squeezin is one thing actually trying to hurt someone with a car (or bike or anything else) is completely unacceptable to me, I like the idea of removing their keys and depositing them in the local garda station, I'm not sure of what law I'd be breaking but I'd live with the consequences.

    'Pretty sure' - nothing in life is guaranteed.

    If someone had actually tried to hit me with their car I would stop and ask that person (in the nicest possible way of course) not to do that again.
