Crossroads Positioning
Discussion
Fairly new to road biking.
Hence the following question.
At crossroads, fairly major (crossing dual carriageway). Controlled by traffic lights.
I'm going straight on.
Arriving at junction. Lights on red. Scally on a motorbike sat at lights. No indicator on.
I pull round him. And position myself in front of him to left of road.
Lights go green. I set off. He decides he's turning left. He's quicker off the mark than me, so proceeds to hoot and call me a d
head because obviously I was crossing his path going straight on.
Now, putting aside he is obviously a massive cock generally.
Was I wrong with my positioning? Was I wrong to pull round him? Should I have stayed centrally in the road in the "queue"?
As a driver, I personally would have held back and allowed the cyclist to get away and then proceeded myself. But then I'm a fairly decent guy.
