When I’m cycling on dual carriageways, it’s interesting to realise that some drivers overtake me by moving to straddle the line between lanes (‘fine’), some drivers move into the other lane (‘great’), and some don’t move at all, demonstrating that even when there’s a whole other lane to use, they’re happy to skim past me. And by ‘interesting’, I mean ‘often terrifying’.

I cycle. I can’t fathom the risk some cyclists will take. Cycling on a dual carriageway? Absolutely no chance. Cycling on a busy A-road? No way.
Having the right to be there doesn’t mean it’s any less risky when you have great big lorries hurtling by at > 50mph.
Graveyards are full of people who had the right of way.
