yes, that would be a ridiculous argument, humans are responsible for their actions and poor and dangerous driving is just that.
the other day at Camberwell Green this car rolled past me up to lights, it was driven by a mid 20s Asian guy, and from the way it rolled and his head position I could tell he was texting.
sure enough when I drew alongside him (he filled the ASL) his head was down with his hands on phone. still oblivious to me I rapped on his window and shouted 'stop fucking texting while youre driving', he wound down and angrily said 'fuck you cunt', the lights went to green and I said 'and youre in the cyclists box now fuck off' as he drove off. I was charged, he was charged- now im guessing from having read youre posts here for a while that’s the sort of energy that you rate as useful.?
you know what im starting to agree with you.
because you and I and others here might ride really well, stopping at lights, everything skilled and under control. a good example deserved of respect.
but a vast number of cyclists ride terribly, all over, pavements, rljing, no awareness signalling or position, and until that changes are drivers going to stop abusing us as well?
until the law courts start punishing drivers with long sentances for fatalities are drivers going to stop abusing us?
I don’t know, I just don’t know.
