@theJeremyVine The cab driver was impatient, but there's plenty of things you should've done differently. Do you fancy sending me the unedited footage and I'll do a piece on it?

@theJeremyVine The examples you give are different scenarios but don’t apply to the original poor emerge. The driver was terrible but they had seen you which changes thing’s totally. The move to the right was a tell off. People are starting to see through you Jeremy.

I don’t get involved much on Twitter but to get 1000 followers without even trying tells me maybe I should be a bit more vocal on road safety issues ?

@Mad_1nventor Just be careful giving way like this when motorists may still be continuing. Inadvertently, you might encourage the kids to run out in front of that vehicle. They were in a dangerous spot but were showing all the signs of being in charge of when they wished to cross

@DrTKearney @cyclegaz Please start asking yourself the question “have they seen me?” This is what every good road user should be asking themselves. The amount that don’t match the road users who don’t observe effectively.

@RiderEddie81 If you think you can rely on drivers to keep you safe 100% of the time you are deluded. This is the serious lacking of many that I am trying to highlight to reduce risk. Instead you think it’s my bias against cyclists which couldn’t be further from the truth.

And here is an interesting one on the engine running. If you turn it off and your car steams up you are left there for a number of minutes with your engine running to de-mist it. What’s the best option?

@Cycling_Bob Because there are so many morons driving motor vehicles are you really expecting the stupid to change to keep yourself safe? Continue to blame others when you are more in control than you realise. Stubbornness is rife and so are moronic road users.

Remember. Engine on? Not safely parked. Therefore a £200 and 6 penalty points. Don't think the police will enforce? Ask the 15 drivers I reported last year. Easy solution though. Just TURN OFF YOUR ENGINE.
