I've just watched again. Yeah you're right I was wrong, when seen it earlier I thought he was way more over to the right. 😳

redacted given the comment above from Drac.

Fair play drac, we all make mistakes, and very few of us admit our errors on here

Unlike you I'm not no.

Mature response, similar to your first name calling of the cyclist post. Grow up.

Would you like to pull over?

No. (carries on cycling)

Love that guy.

[quote=Drac ]

Complaining about somebody passing close is reasonable whatever the reason or the provocation for the close pass - as the cyclist reasonably pointed out, plod didn't have to overtake

He didn't but he also didn't need to take quite so much space.

Thanks for conceding the point about how far out he was - I was surprised as you weren't somebody I expected to think cyclists should be in the gutter.

Though I thought it worth clarifying that as I pointed out, even if the cyclist had been riding too far out then that still wouldn't have been an excuse for anybody (let alone a cop) to pass too close, and it would still be reasonable to complain about it in such circumstances.

Yup he should have got him to pull over to warn him.

The cyclist let himself down a bit with the clumsy overtake of the other cyclist at the end.
