Scheme to ban cyclists from even more public roads.

What explanation is needed? Try reading these posts from the top and it's clear what I'm referring to. Except of course, as you constantly demonstrate, you're too dumb to read things through. |

Because you've previously admitted your stupidity and complete disregard for the safety of other road users doing just as JNugent describes. |

How could I? But I do know what you yourself have announced to the world about yourself (or that much of it that I can reember offhand). |

Were you a closet motorist when you dumped your landrover in Cornwall? Are you a closet motorist when your children turn up in their cars to ferry you around? Do you keep your licence in case you need to drive one of your childrens cars. What is a closet motorist anyway? I assume you mean one who tries to hide his participation in this activity and that you to a tee. |

As I have pointed out many times, I do not own a car, I do not drive cars nor do I travel in other people's cars therefore I cannot be a closet motorist. -- UK Radical Campaigns www.zing.icom43.net "The car, more of a toilet than a convenience". |
