The Day When That Round Car Hit Me Citroen C3

So should we considered in the same vain as Peds?

Not wanting to sound harsh but Stylist just caused an accident which not only damaged someones car but may have also scared the shit out of an innocent driver. I know if I hit someone regardless of the circumstances I would be pretty shook up.

If you are going to ride on the road you need to accept some level of responsibility. For the majority of cyclists RLJ is pointless and dangerous. Couriers are in a rush, they need to save time cause it costs them money but doing it on your 5 mile commute is mostly not needed.

Yeah but no but yeah but no but ....
Roads aren't some holy lands that only the deserving get to use. Roads are for everybody in this country to get about on.
Cars and lorries need tax and insurance cos they fuck the roads up very badly, cause loads of pollution, and kill and maim tens of thousands each year.
An insurance-for-all policy would be like a runaway train, soon resulting in pedestrians needing 3rd party.
And then how many over-protective parents are going to let their kids out uninsured? All over the country people cycle just to get to the corner shop or to the films etc. including kids and teenagers - an insurance system (like a compulsory h****t law), could arguably put an end to a past-time which, although it doesn't seem like it, is fairly fundamental to growing up in this country.
