Yes on paper the theory looks perfect, sadly cycling in Scotland is as bad as cycling the streets of London, or any other major city. Drivers don't give a shit for us, they try and squeeze us off the road, cut us up at junctions, chicanes traffic lights etc. It's a war out there and the driver having the weight and security of his car is more than happy to do whatever he/she can to get past, even if that means putting the life of oncoming traffic in danger...
As for me, I'm a professional driver, it's what I earn my living at, but my 'hobby' is cycling and I often think it's time to take up dominos
