Right. So when someone's held up on a bike, it's OK for them to complain, especially when the roadspace has been artificially and needlessly restricted so that they can't get past. But when someone's held up in a car, even if it's by an inconsiderate moron who's going extremely slowly and doing his very best to hold up a long line of vehicles, any complaint about being held up or any attempt to get past and the driver is immediately labelled an impatient, irresponsible child-killing monster who should be thrown in jail.

Once again, this is a case of something being "OK" when a cyclist does it, but not when a motorist does it, and once again, such discrimination is the result of a blatant hatred of motorists.
