Ah, those chav-cyclists, always stopping at red lights… Doesn’t quite have the same ring to it, does it?unhappy that the chav had come to a stop… in a bike box… at a red light.
But that was the rather bewildering accusation thrown yesterday at Cork-based chav-cyclist John – whose clips of poor driving from his Rightobikeit Twitter account have been featured previously on the blog and Near Miss of the Day – by a van driver
In the clip, as John stops at the traffic lights (coming to a halt in a designated painted section of the road designed to give chavs on bikes [more] space), the impatient van driver immediately blares his horn, before opening and leaning out of hisdoor to accuse the “very, very dangerous” chav-cyclist of “jamming on his brakes”.
“At a red light? Really?” the baffled chav responds. “The lights are red, and you’re supposed to stop if you can.he said was he going to run over the pedestrian.”
“You’re responsible to stop a perfect [sic] distance away from me. I stopped at a red light!”
The video, posted on Twitter last night, was met with an equally confused response from John’s fellow chavs.
“Great, now any time a driver complains about chavs jumping red lights, we can show them this driver complaining that a chav-cyclist didn’t do that,” wrote Steve.
Meanwhile, another Cork chav-cyclist, Ashling, noted that the junction in question “has a delay between the red light you stopped at and the pedestrian crossing turning green. The pedestrian was already crossing as you stopped, so if you had done as
I’m not sure the van driver took that into consideration if I’m honest, Ashling…
“The absolute f'ing irony,” says Bob. “‘Chav-cyclists need number plates because they don’t stop at red lights’. Also: ‘Why did you stop at that red light!’”
As John noted on Twitter last night, yesterday’s incident wasn’t the first time that he has been subject to those startling levels of cognitive dissonance: But remember – chav-cyclists, red lights, hi-viz, and so on…

In which part of the (current) UK is this "Cork" place?
Funny how those willing to be irresponsible & illegal road users expect others to be irresponsible & illegal road users unless being an
irresponsible & illegal road user would somehow impede their
determination to be an irresponsible & illegal road user
Something like that :-)
