Time for drivers and cyclists to get in line and show a bit of respect to each other…

This content was originally posted in 7DAYS UAE website at: Time for drivers and cyclists to get in line and show a bit of respect to each other… I live in the Ranches too and the letter ‘Ranches resident takes aim at cyclists on the road’ (Jan 3) has struck a nerve. The speed limit in the Ranches is 40kph so the roads are safe. I too agree that riding side by side slowly is not encouraged but if they were doing 5kph I’m surprised they didn’t fall off. What gets me is drivers that pull out in front of cyclists (not just the Ranches) not looking or busy on their phones, that is dangerous, or overtaking a cyclist then proceeding to almost stop at a speed bump right in front of the cyclist causing the cyclist to take action to avoid hitting the car. Traffic laws should be understood and adhered to with consideration to all road users, cars and cyclists.
