Peckhamgatecrasher Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Does no-one read the bloody Highway Code?It covers parking in the direction of traffic and checking mirrors before opening the door.

uncleglen Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Having nearly killed 2 cyclists - both black men in dark clothes with no lights on their bikes- in the backstreets of Stockwell on the same night- I wholeheartedly agree with Salsaboy....

Earl Aelfheah Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 There was no suggestion in the original post that the cyclist didn't have lights. Someone saying (quite admirably) "I didn't take as much care as I should when opening my door", becomes yet another 'bloody cyclists being irresponsible' thread. Of course cyclists should have lights on when it's dark, but that's a complete non-fecking-sequitur in this case.

KidKruger Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Sorry Rah, I just don't see that.You can construe it, but I'm not convinced anyone's bashing cyclists.It seems everyone wants cyclists to be safe.

Salsaboy Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I certainly wasn't bashing cyclists. I was just pointing out something that should be obvious, but to some people, isn't.
