Saw several news reports last weekend that on the first day of the new regs. a group of cyclists rode along a road (Sussex I think ?) taking up the whole road and didnt let any cars pass them for 8 miles.
Looking back and laughing at the motorists stuck behind them.
Natural justice tells me you should be allowed to run over cretins like that, but the law doesnt see it that way apparently.
Could have been someone in one of the cars who needed to get to hospital urgently, or on their way to say goodbye to a loved one who was at deaths door.
Dont suppose plod are trying hard to track them down and prosecute them.  >:(
Dashcam footage on YouTube is the way to go, cause outrage and some 'soldier' will take it upon himself to go out after dark.

I just tried "pedestrian mode" down to Sainsburys (1.5 mile round trip)
I think I'd be dead about 6 times if I adopted the new rules .

that's not including waiting for the pelican crossing both ways

perhaps the new rules are to increase Covid death figures  :P

It would appear nobody actually explained the pedestrain right of way bit to pedestrians, they now seem to think they can walk into the road anywhere and the traffic will stop  :o

Is anyone really surprised that there is total confusion? It was bad enough before. Darwinism is accelerating faster.
