It's funny that they don't give the same clearance when passing a pedestrian on the footway.

They also don't seem to need so much clearance when they pass motor vehicles.

So Doug was successful!

Network Rail now not only allow cycling along railway platforms but they
have marked out cycle lanes as well.

I'm not sure that we need additional legislation[1] and even if it is a
good idea I'm not sure that the suggested distances are appropriate.


[1] We would probably benefit from more enforcement of existing
legislation against careless and inconsiderate driving, phone use etc.

Drivers would take more care around cyclists if cyclists behaved

They are too thick to realise that it is a 'breakdown status' report
that is being looked at, therefore the car is stopped because it is
broken down, and therefore there is no crime being committed related to
the handheld device.
