Driving whilst presenting TV.

I'm not convinced that presenting a show in a car is that bad, but it does depend on the format. All of the ones that I've seen generally involve one or more people sat in a car talking about some sort of subject but they are focusing on driving and not the camera - it's very rare that they turn to look directly at the camera. In this situation, it's not really any different to conversing with a passenger - in some cases this is exactly how it goes with two people talking in a car and it just being filmed from a few small discreet cameras.

I've been riding since i was 17, and never bothered driving a car, so i s'pose it's built in for me to be as alert as possible.
That's why i can never understand why people want earphones for music while riding a bike, that to me is a massive no no, hearing is as important as seeing for me, and it would totally distract me.

I have both a car and bike license and use both fairly regularly. I understand a lot of the opinions from bikers towards cars, but it can very much be a case of painting everyone with the same brush - not all car drivers are bad and it is very hard for someone to identify a "good" driver (as everyone has their own opinion) but very easy to identify a "bad" driver.

I'll defend cars to a point, as often the drivers are at fault, but I do get the sense that a lot of people get a bit of a superiority complex from being only a biker and not driving a car. I'm not suggesting that you are darrsi, its just a general observation. Both groups have their ups and downs and there have been plenty of bikers I've seen on the road do absolutely crazy things that I would never consider to be safe or responsible
