I think that the thing that can be most notably taken from the event you witnessed is your disgust at seeing what a prize plonker some people can be on two wheels... now all you have to do is never become like said prize plonker and the situation you witnessed will have been for your betterment as a bike rider.

Whoa... Im on a roll

Just didn't seem like the time or place for it, it was 6:30 in the morning.

I thought L plate rider's were not allowed to ride untill after 7 am ??? ...or am I wrong (I have been known to be...)

Yes, you are.

I thought you had to wear an L plate so you could remember which side was left...?

[FJRider]

Yes, you are.

I told you I could be wrong... No BHS test in my day. Just pass a few questions from the road code and I had my learners. 2 months later I could sit my FULL licence...ANY size bike. No L plate at any stage...

Interesting idea. I guess you had to get an eye patch once you took your L plate off, to help you remember which side is which!

Bikers and sailors are ALL a bit one-eyed... Both just aim for the EMPTY bit.

I had another encounter with this "person" on my way in to work yesterday. Was just pootling along at my normal speed near the speed limit when I get passed along a double yellow line. He then comes up behind a car and passes on a twisty bit but at least it was legal to pass there. The car turns off and I continue behind the person.

We finally come to a line of cars at a traffic light and the person stops behind the last car while I take the bus lane past everything and catch a green light without even having to slow down. Didn't see him again that morning... Hahahaha.

It was before 7, so not you. I love that road around the back, lovely twists, turns and ups and downs. I love the bus lane too.
