'1. as a cyclist you have often boasted you dont have to stick to any speed limits, as no doubt you are a special sort of driver.'
er, no. Firstly I'd have a job breaking a speed limit these days (except downhill), secondly, pushbikes aren't subject to speedlimits BY LAW. But I can't see what that's got to do with anything anyway...
And it's a fact, my car IAM (1993) - stuck behind a slow moving vehicle, saw an overtake coming up, told the examiner there was going to be a brief chance and I'd make the most of it (back in the days of a commentary) - can't remember what I reached, nothing drastic but more than the 60(?) limit. He was quite happy and later told me I'd done the right thing. When I did the bike test (examiner Robbie Dowling, Avon & Somerset Police bike instructor and examiner, been on TV
) had a similar thing, he mentioned it in the debrief, I just mentioned TED and he was happy.
So wind yer neck in :moon
