Reckless riding

Domination of the roads continues in Perth with the war between motorists and bike riders showing no signs of abating. New laws have come into force requiring motor vehicles and trucks to keep a minimum of one metre between their vehicle and rider and one and a half metres if the vehicle is travelling at a speed above sixty kilometers per hour - fair enough.

Bike riders are doing themselves no favours, a bike lane exists and riders want to ride along side by side with each other having a chat outside the bike lines. As we can see, the truck has moved well over and outside the lane to avoid the cyclist but should have never been in that position in the first place.

Clearly both riders should have been within the confines of their bicycle lane riding in single file. Instead of complaining about truck drivers passing too close, pull your head in, stop being arrogant and use the dedicated bike lane as it was intended.
