[Bod[_5_]]

2Six out of ten drivers in Lincoln (61 per cent) say they regularly
experience road rage while motoring in and around our city"

"Remarkably, the survey, which was conducted by an insurance company,
places Lincoln well above London for aggressive drivers. The capital was
ranked 13th in the national league table with 41 per cent of motorists
reporting they are regularly abused on the roads"

Probably caused by the railway barriers in the centre of the city - at least cyclists are not going to be held up anymore.

How many people took part in the survey?
How were they selected?
How were the questions phrased?

Seems that only cyclists are thick enough to believe half baked rubbish
designed to create free publicity.

I cycle about 2% of the time and the rest is in my car, so where does
that leave me?
Am I only 2% thick and 98% clever? :-)

A recent survey showed that even 2% cycling has a negative effect on
your mental health.

The author ought to try Warminster, which to judge from the standard of
driving by locals, seems to be in the Campagna region of Italy.

If you look at the table the following are in the top four:

1 Lincoln
3 Peterborough
4 Hull

They are all highly deprived areas with a large number of poor people and hence
a large number of cyclists. Perhaps that is the root cause of the problems

Ah yes - cyclists using the "footbridges" - no surprise there then.

Getting the information for the study might be tricky but a public health dept. at a university needs to do something on those law enforcement incidents that are so common in the U. S., i.e., cops beating up great grand mothers 15 year old girls in bikinis, shooting blacks in the back for minor traffic offenses, etc.

I'm willing to bet 95% of the time the cop got less than 100 cal worth of aerobic exercise during the 40 hour period preceding the incident.

There should be some blood or other test to determine the recent physical activity or inactivity of anyone, much like drug and alcohol testing.

If the cop didn't run swim or cycle in a time period before the poor judgment incident this information could be documented and used at the trial.
