Lovely idea. But what is a the definition of an SUV?

However, crash test experts at Euro NCAP and Thatcham have hit back
at the suggestion, stating that whilst SUVs are generally heavier,
they 'do not necessarily present a greater threat to pedestrian and
cyclist safety'.

Based on tests with dummies...

What's a militant cyclist?

Someone has given you an example.

Someone else's experience of the effect of deliberate provocation. Is
that the best you can manage?

Probably not. But I'm not descending into another of your silly downward
spirals. You are well aware of the existence of militant cyclists.
Saying or implying that they don't exist just makes you look siller.

As I said:

There are more [examples] of which you already are well aware, Polly.

Remind me (as a driver and pedestrian with a few years experience) about
some of the things I should have noticed on my travels by now.

If you aren't observant, that's not my fault.

Do you never read news reports either?
