MYSELF and many more drivers are sick fed up about the way we are treated by cyclists.

They think they own the road, pass on the inside, jump onto the pavement to avoid a queue, run red lights then give the motorist abuse if we won’t give way for them.

We pay for the use of the road. We have to have insurance. The cyclist pays nothing.

Make them pay road tax and at least have third party insurance before they are allowed on the roads.

Manager needed

I WISH councillors and officials had a passion for their city of Glasgow similar to the passion demonstrated by fans for their football team.

Sadly, some of them seem to be happy to turn up, take the money and achieve little.

Maybe there is a need for a motivational manager to give advice and guidance and get the passion for change and improvement back.

Proud of young

JUST a small mention to applaud hundreds of our young and not so young who were on the trains down to the Scottish Grand National in Ayr on Saturday last.

I, and all my relatives,which included some youngsters, were so proud of the manner in which they first of all, were so smartly dressed, the young men with their suits, shirts and ties, the young ladies with their fascinators, hats and chic dresses.

Most of these young men and women got on the train at Glasgow Central, and they all deserve a mention for going to so much effort for their outing.

We see and hear nowadays so much negative info re our youth, but for once I wish to congratulate them.

I personally, never witnessed any strong language or any aggressive behaviour, the whole seven hours spent there. Thanks to you all, you were great ambassadors for our city and country.

No job guarantee

READING Frank McAveety’s column (Evening Times April 25), if you are a young person between 16 and 24 then Labour’s plan will give you a guarantee of an apprenticeship or place in training or education.

There’s no guarantee of a job though as Labour will close the door once the apprenticeship is finished and it has received the government grant.

Just ask any recent apprentice of the council if they were kept on.
