“Plan to follow, look to overtake”. That’s quite a simple rule that should be taught to everyone. It’s a nice instructional video they won’t put drivers in the defensive.

    I appreciate you. I cycle almost everyday, and the amount of times I’ve been put into dangerous situations because of someone else’s impatience is way too high.

      I honestly don’t get why so many people are so reckless and impatient on the roads. I’ve seen some people being really fucking stupid around cyclists and motorcyclists. One incident haunts me, because I know someone would have been severely injured, maybe killed, if I hadn’t been quick enough to get out of the way of an impatient person overtaking in a stupid place.

      And it’s just like… why? Just leave home a few minutes earlier!

        Driving provides you anonymity and a getaway vehicle. It also anonymzes other people on the road, which I think kinda gives people like, main character syndrome?
