For the 3rd time this week, whilst driving along Court Lane I have been shouted at by different cyclists. It appears that when crossing Court Lane from Eynella Road into Dulwich Park that they have right of way! This has caused me to brake, while they cycle out in front of me, feeling free to shout abuse as though I am in the wrong.


Is there something that I don't know?

(As a cyclist) For the 5th time this week i got cut up bad by a car!

It appears they can do this! This has caused me to brake hard, while

they drive across me, feeling free to shout abuse as though I am in the wrong.


And as Ratty kindly mentioned, your lovely metal box will ensure you live to drive another day :)


Point is, your cyclist bashing pointless point works both ways.


Lets just all be a bit more tolerant of each other :)

As far is being tolerant is concerned, I have been, on 3 different occasion's this week alone. The cyclist's haven't.


I fully agree that tolerance works both ways. I'm not a person who complains easily, and as proved already, daring to open a thread in this lounge opens you up to taking a 'bashing' yourself.


In this instance the cyclist was in the wrong.

I fully agree with you re the cyclists :)


All i'm saying is if i started a thread for every 3x times or so

i got cut up or a driver swerving into me as they're on their

Blackberys etc...i would be starting a thread on the same subject EVERY DAY...


And that would be really tedious, for everyone.

Thank you everyone, I'd like to apologise for being tedious, this is the first thread I've been brave enough to start. I'll never do it again!


My mistake that The Lounge was a place to air your thoughts. I would say that 'I'll know better next time' but there won't be one.


DJKillaQueen - chill....

Good for you. Motorcyclists are taught something called defensive riding. It's something many cyclists automatically do. I personally am fed up of drivers who complain because driving requires they pay FULL attention to what is going on around them. In 15 years as a driver myself I have never come even close to hitting a cyclist and yes that includes those that break the rules.

Naah. Headcam, so you can relive the terrified look of the pedestrians as you bear down on them at speed as they cross the zebra crossing...

Thank you DJKillaQueen. I never intended to bash cyclists. I was just trying to raise the point that the same thing has happened 3 times in the same place in 1 week. I consider myself to be an observant driver. Unfortunately I don't have a crystal ball that shows me when a cyclist is coming along Eynella road at speed and about to ride out in front of me.

Okey-dokey. Give me a few minutes and I'll think a few more up.

    • There is a large amount fresh veg available in the green book cage outside the copleston church,sprouts,spring onions,potatoes,parsnips and bread rolls,pop down shame to see it get wasted          
    • On the original topic - there was more of this on Whateley Road today. Same place but the other side of the road. Could be the same dogwalker as for the other nearby roads?   I don't have a dog - but would have thought it's hard for owners not to notice when a dog is doing it in the middle of a pavement? 
    • Thought I’d take a trip down to Rye Lane this morning to visit the charity shops etc. I usually park in the Morrisons car park and buy stuff there and then the nearby shops. I know there are a few shops near the Aylesham centre that are having to close (Boots the chemist was a shoplifters favourite over the years) but I was shocked to see the extent of shop closures, graffiti, overall decline in the area.  Sometimes I get the bus and wanted to visit the Crises charity shop but it didn’t open until 10.30am and it had a coffee place inside. They have a shop in Rye Lane but are missing out on early rising customers. Walking down towards Santendar and the Primark store was very empty.Just hope that isn’t due for closure. The security guards are very nonchalant. The Scope charity shop has a prime position but doesn’t promote the shop Greggs have done away with their self service due to the number of thefts of food items.  The Poundland was quite empty too but I visit this one as they have stock since the Camberwell one closed down.         
    • Maybe I'm behind the times, but in the old days if you went to a pub for charity fundraiser you'd have a quiz or karaoke and you'd be chipping in for a new scanner at your local hospital or maybe sending some poor kiddie for some cancer treatment abroad. Nowadays you can roll down to the Old Nun's head in Nunhead and tip your money into a bucket for some sad young woman to go a private surgeon and have her breasts sliced off -  as if that was going to be some kind of life-saving treatment!  Not only that, she's publicising her Valentine's crowdfunder with a funny ha ha (not) cartoon of a girl (see pic) with a hypodermic in her bum and calling it 'Valen-Tits-off'. Jesus wept. Whatever happened to hearts and flowers? It's so unbelievably sick. I'm a woman, I've pretty much still got all the woman-bits intact. Periods and puberty weren't much fun, I was bullied at school, wondered about my sexuality and boys and spots and the rest of it, got called a lezzer by the class cow, but I got through it. And I would no more think that cutting bits off a girl was the solution to her misery than I would put my teenage daughter on a diet if she was diagnosed with anorexia. I can't be the only person who finds the pub - and its publicity material - very VERY offensive?
