Here’s a quick look at what I packed into an incredible (and very long!) weekend.

Dorset Safer Roads Views are my own

I did about 12 miles yesterday,

check out the latest videos for a whole bunch of bad drivers endangering others (not just me!) and ignoring the rules for their own personal benefit, sometimes no benefit at all.

Waaahhh nasty cyclist WA67YTS YouTube video by Dorset Safer Roads

Driver gets upset because I filtered past him and slotted in, He purposefully tailgates the car in front and tries to squeeze through a gap that isnt there.

Even after overtaking me they tailgate the car in front of them.

Did I delay them at all? of course not.

Rule H3 done right (almost) #cycling YouTube video by Dorset Safer Roads

This is almost a textbook example of how highway code rule H3 should work.

My only minor criticism is I would have preferred it if they had stopped before starting to turn, it wasn't terrible obvious if they were going to stop.

K155PCX idiotic punishment pass YouTube video by Dorset Safer Roads

It is scary what will provoke some people to behave so badly on the roads, my perceived offense?

A: existing
B: not diving left into the parking spaces

Will this meet the threshold for dangerous driving? I hope so.
