You've hit on something I often find myse...OOO. You've hit on something I often find myself seething about. I don't mind the bikers at traffic signals or weaving through traffic etc. etc. it's a necessary evil. <br />What I did used to take personal offense at (not even sure why), was being stuck on SZR traffic heading into Dubai from Abu Dhabi, and bikers whizzing past on the hard shoulder. <br />I don't care what machine you drive/ride. I don't care if your delivery is getting cold. There is no possible excuse what so ever to use the hard shoulder as a road. None. In my books at least (which are not the applicable law anywhere) riding your bike on the hard shoulder "because SZR is choked" is a criminal offense. <br />The end.hemlockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02886283830369668137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19660187.post-67077498544570521692013-11-15T19:02:09.034+04:002013-11-15T19:02:09.034+04:00wow! 30 mph difference...

I keep it under 20 kph (13 mph).<br />Germans are notorious for their resistance to move aside, like if being nice and friendly implied that they are <i>less</i> than others. This has been getting slightly better in the last years, though, but they're still faaaaaar away from the Italians and French who understand all the things you mention here.MartÃnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10822609849208771779noreply@blogger.com
