In the UK, highways are for the public to use. No preference or priority is given to any vehicle user or person wishing to use the road faster. I am not slowing down traffic, I am simply using the road as is my entitlement. There is no law which states I must travel at a minimum speed, nor one which requires me to use any particular part of the lane I use. Within sensible use and reason, I use the lane how I see fit.<p>There are of course provisions to dissuade or prevent vehicular use which is purposefully obstructing, but my purpose is not to obstruct. Its purpose is to aid in the enforcement of rules which state vehicles must pass cyclists within certain safety limits, which they do not adhere to of their own.<p>I have a moral right to not be killed by impatient people. I do not just &quot;feel&quot; unsafe in my designated lane: I am unsafe. Cycle paths, in the UK, are not mandatory for any users, precisely because they are not always suitable. Until the UK&#x27;s highways are no longer for the public there will never be a time where I am not entitled to safe passage on it.
