lets see, you can signal when you are slowing for an upcoming traffic hazard. lots of drivers cross cyclists unsafely on the double yellow when they are claiming more of a lane to avoid an upcoming traffic hazard. I'm in the middle of a travel lane and drivers will barrel past across the double yellow into the face of oncoming traffic. But this never happens to mr head.
and telling me, head, that you are ALWAYS in the middle of the travel lane on a roadway and hence avoid ALL upcoming hazards is an unrealiztic responce, anyone who has ever had a driver pull out in front of them knows the presence of suddenly appearing traffic hazards.
I guess the nuance of blacktop and the macadam tarmac is lost in the pillowy comforts of the armchair cycling world.
