Some car drivers are real pricks. But not all, not even half.


Most things done in a hurry need to be done again - patiently.

I dont think any other road user  has such an arrogant single minded pomposity as the cyclist...spitting venom at all who offer any opinion ....

ROFLALALAL! Of course not, after all, it's them that complain because they "pay to use the roads" (oh, no, hang on, that's car drivers).

It's them who consider themselves to be "professional drivers" (oops, no, that's taxi drivers and white van man.

It's the cyclists who blast their horns at car drivers because the car driver is getting in their way and slowing them down as they race to the next traffic jam...

as a child we all took cycling proficiency tests, which may sound a bit parochial now, at least was some education on  how to be a responsible road user...

And drivers take a Driving Test and then consider that, because they've passed, they know everything that they need to know about driving and will do until the day they die, rather than realising that they've only achieved the *bare minimum* standard to be allowed out on the road in charge of a vehicle.

I laugh at the notion that somehow being a cyclist is to be an outlaw, above all road regulations....then complain bitterly at how bad they get treated by other road users.

Well I only complain about the other road users who use a massive brush to tar all cyclists with...

I suggest you look up the word "irony"...

Well it's a bit more difficult to claim "Sorry, Mate, I Didn't See You" when someone's sitting on a bloody big horse.
