[QUOTE="General Melchett, post: 1184174, member: 74895"] I wonder if that's down to poor messaging/education or driver ignorance/negligence. I remember when the highway code was changed re. pedestrians having right of way when crossing a junction (no 2 in the link below) there was a half hearted TV advertising campaign that clearly wasn't very wide reaching. I'm sure many drivers still aren't aware of these rule changes. I have been honked at, shouted at and given the middle finger by entitled ignorant drivers who failed to follow these rules. Just saw a female cyclist honked at because she dared to turn right meaning the car behind her couldn't beat an amber traffic light about to turn red. I get that a minority of cyclists can be difficult and behave like arseholes but driver entitlement is a massive problem on the roads IMO. The level of entitlement seems to go up the bigger/faster/more expensive the car.
