The fact is you could only read one out of three at the required distance. Now you say the others were dirty and that's why you couldn't read them. Alas the world is a dirty place and when you're riding along at the speed limit you don't have the opportunity to wipe things clean before you need to know what they are.
Not in Scotland you havent.As someone who has worked for the better part of the last 27 years riding a bicycle for a living
IMO you should not be on the road.The fact that you cannot comply with or understand a simple contract or medical advice is an indication of immaturity.
On the road you are expected to be able to control and operate your vehicle competently.
People that ride for a living have a saying,"It's not if I get hit,it's when".IMO your not old enough/mature enough to take on the responsibility of riding a push-bike.
I would completely agree with everyone here that is trying to politely say "put on your glasses before you cause a fatal accident you dumbshit".
get your eye,s tested at an opticians, there is a investigation going on at
a test centre near me that they are only allowed to pass so many in a certain time
so if you go to a opticians and your eye,s are ok then take it further.

Incidently, to all those people who think this is a test of whether you can read a number plate or not, it isnt, its more to do with whether you can read road signs, distances on signs, instructions etc.
Bizzarely, in UK they dont use road signs to test this, they use number plates. Now i know Wind surfer is in Scotland, all our number plates are filthy from the wet and mud we drive through constantly.
Blaming him for not being able to read them is like blaming someone for not being able to read a news paper you have smeared with mud.
A road sign is generally 12 feet off of the ground, they may get slightly dirty from dust and spray, but a number plate is 12 inches off of the ground, they are almost illegible at the best of times.
If you havent driven in Scotland, then you just wouldnt know all this.
Not in Scotland you havent.
He already explained the plates where dirty, do you not believe him, i certainly do, all plates in Scotland are filthy.
Maybe he did understand the contractual nature of this transaction and thats why he asked for his money back.
I think impugning someones maturity possibly lacks maturity too, or maybe its just a cheap shot?
Again, nothing to do with the ability to see through thick dirt.
As a cyclist of many years, 40+ i know that cyclists can be very sanctimonious and a tad self righteous, so nothing new here then.
Put on your glasses and try reading the post properly.
Why dont you give the kid a break, hes got 10 posts, he has a hard time with some arsehole bureaucrats who take his money and f**k him off, he comes here hoping to find like minds and gets a whole load of self righteous BS from people who i would have thought would have known better.
Sorry, dont mean to be offensive, but nearlly every reply here implies you dont believe his account, or you didnt read his post.
I completely understand Windsurfer, none of them have been here, they have no idea of what the conditions on the ground are like, and it seems, once a chorus of disapproval starts, people just cant resist joining in.
I know im banging on about it, far more than you mate, but really this is symptomatic of what life is like these days. Rampant self righteous conservatism, disguised as mature comment (barely).
But, remember, all of you who live in fear of arrest for possession, cultivation etc, there are an army of people out there who will martial arguments that sounds frighteningly similar in tone and content for why you should be arrested, fined, imprisoned, flogged, and in some countries, executed for simply wanting to possess weed.
Dont be part of the tide of conservatism, and when someone tells you they got stuffed by the powers that be, give them a sympathetic hearing if you dont know or cant prove otherwise.
We should support each other.
I know im supposed to wear glasses but never wear them.
