One thing I Object too is those who travel on the road at 8MPH and get a queue of traffic behind them because the road isn't wide enough for them to pass because cars are parked on each side if the road or it's one way and there is only enough room for one vehicle plus a parked vehicle on the road. I've seen some people ride down the middle of the road so that no vehicle can pass them and they won't move even if there is a space for them to pull into for motor vehicles to pass them.
Yes The reason that they 'step aside' is that they don't want to be run over
I object to people who drive at 8mph on pavements where they are limited to 4 mph by law
If I was half as smart as I think I am - I'd be twice as smart as I REALLY am.3
