    I attempted to overtake 2 cyclists, there is absolutely nothing wrong with doing this and so far no one on this thread has given any explanation as to why this could possibly be wrong.

    Quite simply, because you crashed into one of them.

    There you go ignoring his posts and bringing in irrelevancies again.

    He's already stated countless times that it wasn't unsafe but you choose to ignore that and, instead, to rely on the accident that didn't happen except when it did which wasn't really but his insurers have been notified.

    Based on that logic if somebody drives in to the side of you on a motorway whilst your travelling in lane 1 then you was wrong to be driving in that lane and should have been in another.

    Not very logical is it?

    There are additional lanes on a motorway, if someone decides to drive into you when you're in lane 1 then you might be justified in getting irate and claiming from their insurance.

    That's what has happened here, or maybe not depending on the OPs changing view on a a daily basis.

    Have you even bothered to read the thread, or are you one of the Mountain King's servants?

    Yes and I've read the brilliant responses of the irrational who think a) you shouldn't overtake cyclists on any road other than one with a mile long straight with nothing but fields either side; and b) op is at fault despite the fact a cyclist changed paths without indication and crashed.


    All brilliant stuff. But your a merc driver so we don't expect you to understand logic anyway.
