Had a cyclist today using the road which was under roadworks and clearly stated no bicycles allowed. Would have been impossible to get past with 1.5m gap due to incoming traffic so * her, got past under the 1.5m
The smart thing to do would be to move to the left and let the ones behind you overtake on the right when clear to do so. Moving to the middle is a dumb move I'm afraid.
I'll try and decipher what you said, or basically word for word: you went for a run, presumably on the left hand side of the path (otherwise you are a complete moron), you moved to the middle to let those behind you pass on your left
, got in the way of oncoming traffic (no s**t, you were in the middle of the path) and got correctly told off.

It is what you wrote. You must be a reaallllyyyy slow runner for little kids who can't overtake you on the right are passing you.....
Good game to play - are they elderly, s**t drivers or on their phone....99% of the time on their phone. Risk your own life, dont risk mine or others arsehole.
But it is though. Our roads are designed with the assumption that the things using it go at a certain speed. They're not designed to have vehicles traveling at vastly different speeds. In peak it's not a few seconds. You're often waiting for a safe gap to provide the space required.
Funnily enough, it kind of is. Or conversely, perhaps it's too simple.
The rule is not so much give way to the right, but give way to vehicles already on the roundabout. So especially for larger roundabouts, there is no need to give way to the right as such; if there is room to enter, you can and should (kind of the whole point of the roundabout shape is to keep traffic moving).
Unfortunately this overly simple rule can come unstuck if there is a collision - it's not always clear who was there first. Especially if one car enters at speed it can get tricky.
This incident was hotly debated online:
'Both idiots': Roundabout crash divides opinion – so who's at fault?
People can't decide whether the crash filmed in Queensland was caused by the hatchback or the ute – what do you think?au.news.yahoo.com
Micra clearly at fault, for lack of awareness if nothing else.Funnily enough, it kind of is. Or conversely, perhaps it's too simple.

The video doesn't show who entered the roundabout first.
Police should be more active with cyclists wearing dark clothes and no lights (note: I am a commuting cyclist). It's dangerous and just makes drivers angry as cyclists in general.
