Been speaking to a couple of friends / work colleagues who both commented (independently of each other) that they felt that on their commute, yesterday and this morning, that drivers are being more patient and hanging back more. One of the said she was 'protected' by a motorcyclists as she rode through a pinch point.
Anecdote I know
Anyone else notice this?
I think it's just randomness. I have noticed no change in attitudes. In fact I saw a cement mixer being driven ridiculously fast up St James Street in the rush hour yesterday. So fast that when a cab pulled out in front of it the driver slammed the brakes and almost lost control of it.
What a cement mixer was doing in that part of London at that time is beyond me and beyond a fucking joke
Depressingly it will take me than a few cyclists deaths to change attitudes. In fact the only people in my office who are even aware of these deaths are those who cycle :(
