[Closed] Clogging up roads with cars, what's the LAW

I was driving around last weekend, and there were clearly too many cars on the roads everywhere, hundreds of them all over the place, clearly all causing traffic jams and pollution all round the city.

I can't find anything in the road traffic act.

I love to ride my bike, but unfortunately I need to transport items too bulky for it sometimes.

I'm not after suggestions of how to reduce the number of cars on the road, I just need to know if there's a maximum number legally allowed.

Thanks all.

Apart from the last part, that is a scarily accurate summary of me. I usually know why people invite me to fornicate myself.

I like your parody thread philjunior. It's one of those "funny, but real" situations. I'm laughing on the inside, honest.

Also, there are so many "car" threads in the chat forum, it kind of works on that level too.

Yes. When every road in the entire U.K. is solid and not moving.

But honestly, it’s a daft question, there are many times when roads are empty, and others when it’s stationary; when I’m working a 7am to 4pm shift, I can get to work, fifteen miles away, in around twenty minutes, going home takes forty-five. If I’m doing 10am to 7pm, it takes about twenty five each way.

I was driving around last weekend, and there were clearly too many cars on the roads everywhere, hundreds of them all over the place, clearly all causing traffic jams and pollution all round the city.

So, how come car drivers seem to be happy to yell at me, or hoot, or whatever, if I dare to ride two-abreast and "hold them up", or not use the (totally useless) "cyclepath" next to the road.

But if I'm cycling through town and a load of cars all get clogged up in a traffic jam, it's deemed completely unacceptable for me to start yelling abuse at them, or even to just filter past them.

What gives?

One rule for car drivers and another for cyclists.

I think the op males a good point. Many of the comments aimed at cyclists become completely ridiculous when you simply remove "bicycle" and replace with "car".  It's a simple test of logic that more people should try before they start complaining.

It depends on how fast the conveyor belt is going.

Again

edit. There are three women at work, same department, same job, same permanent 9 - 5 hours. Never varies, no overtime.

All three live in the same street, all three drive their own cars to work. From home, back to home.

Boils my pish ☹️
