Dr Robert Davis on the radio

Apparently Bob Davis, author of 'Death on the Streets', which is
occasionally cited here, is going to be on 'PM' on radio 4 tonight
(Fri). Catch him if you can.

Bob came accross well. Prat from AA didn't and was rightly taken apart
by interviewer.

All in all, a nice piece vilifying British Motorists' attitude to cyclists.

He was on sometime between 1735 and 1743, if that's any help.

I did rather like his line that it was hard for drivers to overtake
cyclists when they are "going at or near the speed limit". Kind of
summed it all up for me!

I was supposed to be included in this program talking about my
experiences of the attitudes shown towards cyclists by some local
authority traffic engineers. The BBC even came up to tape an interview
but then I mentioned that they should also talk to Bob Davis, Alyson
France et al so my interview wasn't used!

Yes the AA twit did come across as a complete and utter ******. When in
motorist mode I don't have the problems he described when I come across
cyclists! What a twit he is.

You can't go past cyclists becasue they go too fast, and then they slow down

Plonker. Unfortunately far too many people will be nodding in agreement and
going 'b***dy cyclists, get them off the road'.

The only difficulty I encounter in overtaking cyclists is an
overwhelming desire to ogle jealously at their machine...

Actually, I also have great difficulty ovetaking lycra-clad female
