What would you consider the clause "...taking part in a publicly sanctioned race on a route..." to mean? Supervising the race or taking part in it? Do you really expect a response to that? No, of course not, since the only truthful one would undermine your imagined position. That was sort of the point in asking you that particular question. |

Your question is irrelevant to the proven fact that cars are more dangerous than bicycles. You have obviously forgotten that that was the subject. |

So you dare not answer the question: "What would you consider the clause "...taking part in a publicly sanctioned race on a route..." to mean? Supervising the race or taking part in it?". Well, we never thought you would. And on your attempted swerve, you are, of course, s per usual, quite wrong. That's because even a low-speed prang can prove fatal for a cyclist, whereas due to the many safety improvements to cars and vans over the past few decades, low-speed accidents rarely injure a car occupant. In fact, even crashes on the motorway frequently don't cause very much injury (unless a lorry driver is involved). |

So you dare not answer the question: "What would you consider the clause "...taking part in a publicly sanctioned race on a route..." to mean? Supervising the race or taking part in it?". Tell me the answer you're looking for. You can then suggest why the question is relevant to the difference between car and bicycle. Well, we never thought you would. And on your attempted swerve, you are, of course, s per usual, quite wrong. That's because even a low-speed prang can prove fatal for a cyclist, whereas due to the many safety improvements to cars and vans over the past few decades, low-speed accidents rarely injure a car occupant. In fact, even crashes on the motorway frequently don't cause very much injury (unless a lorry driver is involved). The matter was about safety to others.
