As I crawled past a MAMIL & his partner on this stretch of road I asked why they didn't use the far safer cycle path that is clearly indicated . I was told I was a K***b my parents weren't married & that if the road was unsafe I should take more care. I pointed out the cycle path that rejoined at this point & was told sex and travel.

I understand & indeed give space to cyclists , horses & pedestrians, my aim is not kill anyone when driving I have no desire to do that . But why you deliberately ignore the safe sectioned off route for bicycles fails me.

People can be vary odd in their perception of risk
I decided today to avoid this route in future as this is an accident waiting to happen and the cyclists clearly see it differently.

Feeling very lucky now John, where the heck do these people come from that think they can be so rude without recourse.
As you know our roads are not as severe as yours seem and of course cycle lanes are things for cities for us in Devon.
