When you are dead it is no help to you (what might happen to any other
party to the crash), in the event of prosecution the courts often find
against the cyclist, rather than the motorist.

In every case it is best to ride cautiously and safely rather than
be in
any form of crash.

Cyclists should be encouraged to take the initiative for their own
safety and take every precaution they can to avoid conflict with
anything.

Where did you copy and paste that from? You don't give a flying ****
about cyclists being safe, so you can't have written it.


Which just shows how little you comprehend. You could find similar
posts from me stretching back several years.


Really? So why do you support people like Jimdith, Catcrap and
Mentalguy2k who obviously want the streets paved with the dead bodies of
cyclists?


I cannot remember ever doing so. Can you point to an example?

Hmmm.... I must have been imagining the last few months then. OK, I'll
give you the benefit of the doubt and I look forward to your
constructive opinions on cycling.

Agreed. Sheer folly to go out like that in those conditions.

But can you explain why this folly is any worse than:

The silver Jag I saw on the M62 yesterday at dusk without sidelights. It
was almost invisible.


Just how thick is this bloke?

Just how thick is this bloke? Tries to impersonate someone from Kent &
mentions the M62.

About as thick as they come - very good entertainment value, though.
Doesn't take much to get the half-wit dancing. All a bit too easy, really.

I take it that on maps available to the good people of Kent anywhere
nowhere north of Birmingham is marked, 'Here be Dragons'. lol

My name is Dave and I am a complete ****** because I ignore the fact
that most cyclists are also motorists who pay tax and insurance. I also
ignore the fact - or rather become insulting about the fact - that
cyclists are such a low risk that they are actually given their
insurance for free.

Oh dear, oh dear.

Any reason why you forged someone's email address and then posted it using your
Virgin account details.

The phrase "not at all bright" springs to mind.

Byeeeeeeeee

Agreed.
When one is dead any court proceedings to determine fault are somewhat
immaterial.
