I am happy to make allowances for little old ladies and children on bikes because they probably have no choice and may be unaware of dangers. The Lycra-clad hobby cyclists that infest the roads of Surrey are another matter.
Many of them must be drivers but they seem to switch off a large part of their brain as soon as they get on a bike. Many ignore other road users by riding in bunches or a long string without room between to overtake. Likewise they seem unaware of their vulnerability if they come into contact with a car, bus or truck when asserting their rights or riding around slow traffic. Unless they drive with their eyes shut all of that should be obvious to them every time they get in a car.
