  • Nobs.

  • Get a car and run them over to teach them a lesson.

  • punch them in the liver obviously.

  • Don't you mean kidney?

  • Well they're heading towards Brixton I was hoping someone else might.

  • Seriously there was a guy this evening shouting and trying to bang on the side of a car that was 'crowding him' as he tried to cross 2 lanes of traffic after pulling away from the lights

  • Get a car and run them over to teach them a lesson.

    I have a car, on this job I've had to use it some days, pulling away from these lights is a bit of a nightmare. Also 100 m before them there is a traffic light for the bus lane. When the light changes for traffic in the other lane traffic going straight on to Camberwell moves over into the left lane as the bus lane ends. Motorbikes and occasionally TTing cyclists try to overtake on the inside as their lane ends. I came as close as I ever want to to hitting someone on two wheels a few weeks ago, he was trying to undertake me so be could cross over the lane and......... go down Brixton road.

    pft! catch someone in the liver and its goodnight.

  • Pft! Catch someone in the liver and it's goodnight.

  • Knobber.

  • Nobber.

  • pft! catch someone in the liver and its goodnight.

    Capital letter at the beginning of a sentence.

  • it's a stylistic thing.

  • Capital letter for place names too. Brixtonjones

  • Easy now. I think it was said in jest. I was trolling him in the first place.

    (Just a shame he was beaten to it by mustelid features)

  • Exactly.

  • to all the knobs turning across 2 lanes of traffic into Brixton road at the oval , you're knobs. Every fucking day I watch, hoping no one goes under a car.
    I'm in the left lane because I'm going down Camberwell, why are you if you're going to Brixton?????

    This junction? https://maps.google.com/maps?q=brixton+road&hl=en&ll=51.481246,-0.110625&spn=0.001019,0.002789&sll=51.528642,-0.101599&sspn=0.521161,1.428223&t=h&hnear=Brixton+Rd,+London+Borough+of+Lambeth,+London+SW9,+United+Kingdom&z=19

    Can't work out what you mean by turning left here, but these junctions are a nightmare. Every day going Camberwell-Vauxhall, people RLJ to get to the little island in the middle of the lane. It offers no advantage other than increasing their chances of getting flattened.
    Dicks.

  • The lights I'm talking about are on the short bit of Brixton rd between Kennington Park Rd and Camberwell New Rd. The knobs are at the lights -where there is an ASL- all on the left side of the road, the lights change and they turn right across the traffic down towards Brixton.

  • I know where you mean, and I used to come through there everyday.

    To be fair to them, the speed cars come through there, it can be hard to get yourself over in time, especially if you've come round the corner in the bus lane.

    It's a scramble, but more about bad road design, not bad cyclists.

  • The bus lane with its separate traffic lights is certainly an encouragement to cyclists going on to Brixton to approach the junction in the wrong lane, maybe not using the bus lane would be a good idea then there's no scramble. But the incidents that have made we wince were when that light is red and cyclist filtered up on the left, stayed on the left until the lights go green, then try and cross 2 lanes of traffic.
