May I refer the ‘orrible member to the Highway Code:
167
DO NOT overtake where you might come into conflict with other road users. For example
where the road narrows
when you would force another road user to swerve or slow down.
If you were behind me, being an impatient selfish twunt, beeping yer bloody horn, you’d have been there for a while longer, belive me.
112
The horn. Use only while your vehicle is moving and you need to warn other road users of your presence. Never sound your horn aggressively.
Can’t find anything about cyclists HAVE to give way to any vehicle behind, unlessit’s an emergency vehicle. Same way a tractor does not in any way have to give way.
Now I was not there, so I don’t know the road/conditions. Maybe the cyclist din’t think it was safe to pull over for you. They don’t have to, regardless of any ‘passing place’ (are they not for oncoming traffic anyway?).
As mentioned, did you know/appreciate whether or not the cyclist was hearing impaired?
How much did they actually slow you down, anyway? Why were you in such a rush? Was it an emergency???
So, you couldn’t wait, and used your horn aggressivley, contrary to the Highway Code.
Seriously, especially considering your profession, you need to chill out a bit.
And are you sure you’re of the right temperament, to be a driving instructor???
Sorry. No sympathy here.
BTW; does that sign above, white on blue, not signify that the instruction is advisory, not compulsory? IE, does not in any way have to be obeyed by law?
