Visibility and colour
#39
As a driver and cyclist I feel there are good and bad drivers , and good and bad cyclists. The problem is people. People nowadays don't want to obey rules, they just do as they please.

I find that drivers take no notice of double white lines in the middle of the road whether I am on my bike with 4 or 5 others, or driving the seven. I've also had much faster cyclists overtake at speed with only inches to spare, when I'm on my bike. Driving the seven I find cyclists generally like it and respect the seven more than car drivers do.

Overtaking by cars and bikes seems to happen without thought. On a push bike many drivers overtake in the middle of junctions, or roundabouts. And fast bikes do the same.

But out on bikes yesterday we were very carefully overtaken by about 4 separate groups of middle aged motorbikers on machines made by Triumph, BSA, Norton and other manufacturers long gone. They were a pleasure to see and hear.

We don't seem to be very visible on a sunny day. But the lass driving behind me not only saw the Austin, but recognised it was me and sent a few photos.

As for the road marking, what is    OW meant to tell any driver?
