That happened to me a lot when I commuted by cycle in the UK. I was constantly amazed by the courtesy shown by drivers as they'd always stop to let me through. I think it's because drivers there expect a certain amount of congestion/delay so are generally more patient (either that or the South of England is a bit.... different). If that situation existed in this country, I think the cyclist would end up riding on the footpath which would get them a third fine in addition to those due to the lack of a helmet and the lack of lights :) - Dave -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
