I wanted to get in on the passive aggressive post liking. It’s been very exciting to find a new way to be even more annoying. That's not what likes are for, people! It totally is what the likes are for

If you like this post you are a drivist.

I don’t actually know what drivist means aside from it looking like it’s popular to throw around on Self Righteous Twitter so maybe it’s a compliment.

There are studies that show that cyclists wearing lycra and looking like they know what they’re doing get driven much more recklessly around than those in casual wear, possibly not wearing a helmet, for example. A calculation is made that you can take more chances around those people. Isn't that mainly cos no one wants to see their horrible arses winking at them through that disgusting lycra for longer than necessary?

Mostly, it's the fit and finish. The panel gaps look like they're from 4 different types of car, the trim is cheap, the interior stitching is a bit... unfinished. Lots of little things that just wouldn't make it past quality control on anything but the most budget of cars. Thanks, not going to look again,if I find anything it will piss me off 😁 Haha. Ah, don't. Maybe yours is just better put together. Also, it shouldn't matter. You clearly like yours and that is really all that matters. 😊

Hopefully this new Highway Code also clamps down on pearl-clutching whilst cycling. It’s an increasingly dangerous issue.

I have cars, bikes and motorcycles and I try to be considerate of other people on the road.
I suspect this means that everyone abhors me.

Depends if the car is a nice compact or a big old minivan or pick up.

Passive aggressive likes are kinda funny in themselves though. Especially if you like the posts of the person you're beefing with.

Not keen on this change that means drivers have to give way to a ped waiting to cross the street at a junction. I hate getting ‘waved over’ by a car at the best of times. Much prefer to wait to assess the situation myself once traffic is clear. No frigging way am I just stepping off the kerb and trusting a driver turning into the road to have seen me. I'll make sure they've stopped first. As one of those people who try to follow the rules I tried to do this on Friday when turning into the road my work is on. It's a junction loads of kids cross when going to school and there were 3 waiting to cross, so I stopped before turning in, left wise. They started to cross and then a car who was also waiting to turn from the other direction started turning in and nearly hit the kids. So that worked.

Just look at it as an effective policy to reduce overpopulation.

Actually the worst people are the ones who mention electric scooters are illegal if they even think someone is about to start talking about them. I do that. I'll mention if it someone's in the car with me and I see one on the road. It's a pretty interesting fact. I'll usually go with an open ended "That's illegal" without indicating to the e-scooter. My passenger will respond with "what's illegal?" That's when I give them the 411 on the scooter conundrum. I won't say how many times this has gotten me laid but let's just say chick's dig a streetwise brain box.
