There's a difference between cycle lanes with solid or broken lines separating them from the carriageway.
If the line was broken you were just being awkward IMO
If I have got the correct section it is solid all the way. I still cross it to get past peopled waiting to turn right into Halfords who haven't moved over to the centre of the road. It is a fairly new cycle lane and they have taken out quite a few right turn filters to put it in which causes massive traffic problems. It is a long and straight road and so the "if a cyclist was there" argument is bullst.If the line was broken you were just being awkward IMO

Nearside vision, offside vision, length of time and traffic conditions would all play a part in whether or not any driver could spot a cyclist on the road. I will often pick them up early, ahead of other vehicles, as they or I move out around parked vehicles or change direction due to the natural deviation of the road. I can't remember a time I reached a cyclist's back wheel and was surprised to see them there.Gassing Station | Advanced Driving | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
