They don’t work do they? Maybe if we rode everywhere with “Don’t Lefthook Me” signs on our backs, there might be fewer accidents?
How do you know they don’t work? People don’t report when they decide not to undertake an hgv, due to the highly visible reminder, and not get squashed, do they!
Just remembered this from Friday. Man, if only he’d had a sticker, i wouldn’t have been such an idiot
How do you know they don’t work?
Show me proof that they do
People don’t report shit like the above either, bet you can bet its a million times more common than cyclists going up the inside
Today, driving to work after my last post. Busy A road, pulling away as the lights change, some idiot 'serious' cyclist goes past at speed on the inside, at the sort of distance that would've had the headcam warriors screaming punishment pass and posting videos on YouTube if the positions were reversed. Pointless, stupid exercise as the road climbs after the lights and I passed him (with a much wider margin than he gave me) almost immediately.
Two other cyclists, by the way, had seconds earlier done it the right way, riding down the right past the traffic waiting at the lights and moving to the front.

Yeah but the signs meant for those that do ride up the inside. Not the person in the video who the sticker or sign has absolutely no baring on but they seem determined to be the victim of a sign here. News flash - it's not about you. It's about people who cycle up the inside.
Driver not looking is driver not looking. Don't be confusing two separate points.

Or driver doesn't need to look. They have a sticker. The sticker doesn't absolve them of blame or magically make these dangerous vehicles safe.
Nobody said the sticker/led Sign absolved anyone if anything. Would you be happier if nobody did anything? Drivers and cyclist are all human. Accidents happen, anything we can sensibly do to mitigate accidents is surely a good thing? This includes driver training, cyclist training, encouragement of safe practice and lots of other things. Do you want to remove all the safety signs from all work places too?
Or driver doesn’t need to look
Willing to bet the driver doesn't even know that signs back there tbh . Shit drivers don't care they just drive shit.
But if it makes you feel better about your position crack on
Just remembered this from Friday.
A totally different circumstance to what this thread is about then?
