The idiot on the moped I've been encountering the last few days. Not content with having an illegal L plate 2.5 inches across :eek they also ride at 22 mph in the gutter. That's bad enough but this idiot has a habit of filtering past traffic to the front of the queue at traffic lights. All well and good you say, that's what bike are for. But if you then travel at 22 mph all the traffic you've just overtaken then has to overtake you within 100 yards of the lights FFS.
Not content with that, I was stuck behind a bus and a car trying to get past a pushbike which was using the cycle lane. (since adding in a cycle lane on both sides of the road it's made the space for cars 6 foot narrower which makes it harder to overtake bikes if there's opposing traffic). Bugger me if this prat then undertakes me and the car in front and is contemplating undertaking the bus as well when the bus fortunately managed to get past the bike.
