One single thing that makes you think "knob" Vol 4

this knob was sat in L2 dawdling along dressed up in a coloured suit that, when he was head down, made him look like a giant arse grape.
L1 was empty, we chose not to undertake him as at any second he would do the manoeuvre wobble signal crash claim we aimed our car at him move.
Bikes really have no place on main carriageways, its why I use the provided cycle paths and when they run out, I use the pavement.
In your original post you stated:L1 was empty, we chose not to undertake him as at any second he would do the manoeuvre wobble signal crash claim we aimed our car at him move.

"Lycra clad cyclists in the inside lane of a 2 lane dual carriage way with a 40mph limit",
now you say lane # 2, which is not the same thing; small wonder that others thought "knob" as they replied to you.
Cyclists using the footpath should be knocked into the road by any inconvenienced pedestrians, preferably as a bus or lorry is passing.

There is no definition for "inside" lane. The people that use that phrase also tend to call Lane 3 the "overtaking lane"
Like children, and wimmen do 
Industry standard, and legally, is Lane 1, Lane 2, Lane 3.
But logically, the "standard" assumption for inside lane is incorrect. If you laid 4 shoelaces down in parallel, numbered from left to right as 1, 2, 3, 4, and assume they are 4 x lanes on a DC, 2 northbound and 2 southbound. Then, the "inside" lanes (as people refer to them) would actually be 1 and 4 - on the outside of the arrangement.

My younger son has had type 1 diabetes since he was 5 - he's now 26. Over the past two years he's had to undergo 4 operations to repair a detached retina in his left eye. They managed to save the eye, but he's been left with virtually no vision in it. This means that he can get a bit "spooked" when it is busy about him, as his left side vision is so poor.
To assist him, we bought a "Symbol Cane". This is not the "White Stick" used by blind people to navigate their way. Rather, it is to indicate that the user has limited vision. He was using it on Monday to go into town to meet up with his mum, when he was harangued in the street by a middle aged woman who called him a fraud and a disgrace for using a stick when he wasn't blind. It left him very shaken and has really dented his confidence about going out on his own.
I just wish I could meet with the ignorant f
king bh and put her right about a few things!
I too hand never heard of symbol canes, just been to the RNIB website to see what they are about. My question is why does it have to be a cane at all? Unlike other canes it isn't used to find obstacles, its only carried to indicate poor eyesight. Why not carry something else or wear a badge instead? Might avoid situations like this?To assist him, we bought a "Symbol Cane". This is not the "White Stick" used by blind people to navigate their way.

Nice one Bob. I have posted many times on this subject when PHers have insisted that they were in the 'fast' 'slow' 'overtaking' 'inside' 'outside' lanes etc.Lane 1/2/3. So much easier to understand when a poster is describing a driving scenario that thay have been involved in or observed.There is no definition for "inside" lane.

I had never really considered the matter, until my Hungarian wife questioned the logic.
Even with two lanes there's still not enough room for you to safely overtake a cyclist? 
Book yourself an eye test and retake your driving test before you kill someone.

The knuckle dragging tt in a dark grey LWB Sprinter who tried to go up the inside of me at 5.40am, on a sliproad onto the M27 into 50mph limited section, firstly I was already in a queue of three cars behind an artic who were all in the right lane of the sliproad trying to join a reduced entry onto the motorway, secondly coming alongside me while I'm trying to join in amongst the trucks already there on the motorway really isn't helping the situation is it? And finally when he realised he couldn't get past on the inside as it was rapidly narrowing, he pushed in behind me in front of the Audi following me, so close to the rear of my car I couldn't see his windscreen, just a grille and headlights, because hey, it's obviously the sensible thing to do in a situation like that isn't it?!?!?

Ufff tell me about it, every evening I commute home and have to join the M27 from the Cosham junction. The amount of people who barrel up the inside of the queuing traffic on the slip is insane.t in a dark grey LWB Sprinter who tried to go up the inside of me at 5.40am, on a sliproad onto the M27 into 50mph limited section, firstly I was already in a queue of three cars behind an artic who were all in the right lane of the sliproad trying to join a reduced entry onto the motorway, secondly coming alongside me while I'm trying to join in amongst the trucks already there on the motorway really isn't helping the situation is it?

Your post screams knob. I don’t call lanes the lorry, slow, fast lane. If you say near side you know it means kerb, if you say inside you know it means the one near the centre.
I bet you are they type that’s used terms like ped, stovec, rta
Are you a traffic womble?

Everyone I know uses 'inside' to describe the nearside lanes. I don’t call lanes the lorry, slow, fast lane. If you say near side you know it means kerb, if you say inside you know it means the one near the centre.

Lycra clad cyclists in the inside lane of a 2 lane dual carriage way with a 40mph limit
In fact, cyclists it the main.
You'd rather they were in the outside lane....??? Or rather they were in a 3-piece suit and thus slower in the inside lane???In fact, cyclists it the main.
And you perhaps mean cyclists in the main? Bigotry getting in the way of spelling?
