glow [quote]lpg I think there are a lot of legally grey areas concerning cyclists/vehicles. Undertaking of any form is illegal, even if you are on a bicycle. This is where the 'grey area' comes in, is the .5m between a car and the curb a 'lane', in the strictly legal sense?
i thought about this today.. i was going down the clerkenwell road and some twat in a mondeo decides to indicate + pull to the kerb at the same time nearly knocks me off, i pull up to him and say use your mirrors, and he says 'you shouldn't have been undertaking me' ?!?!?! what the fcuk?[/quote]
maybe you shouldn't be undertaking him (the law isn't consistent - neither is the Hi Code but I think you should always pass on the right)
BUT
he should observe before he signals
and
observe again before he manouevres
