There can be no other metric. ...and? Sorry if you are too thick to see the connection. We've gone over it enough times. You failed to connect my car - or me - with any of your imaginary data. I presume you have informed the people that compile the data for HMG that they have got it wrong? I do not drive dangerously, You've done your usual trick of changing words. I haven't said that you drive dangerously. I have said that by driving you present a danger. You say a lot of things. You never bother proving them. The casualties numbers are direct evidence... ...as far as your kindergarten-level "thinking" is concerned. If you believe it can't happen to you, you are deluding yourself. As I said, you never bother proving any of your nonsensical assertions. As I said, you are deluding yourself. That's only because you can't, of course. Prove that it won't happen when you next use your car (or any other time in the future). I have access to £11 million of TP insurance. The risk is considered to be so low everybody gets the first £1m thrown in with house insurance. Does your driving insurance work like that? whereas we do know that you do ride your bicycle dangerously and without regard for pedestrians. You have admitted that, in terms. Oh, you mean my admission to going the wrong way down a one way street before a sign went up saying it is now allowed - when the purpose was to avoid mingling with pedestrians? If that was one of your admissions (or, rather, your boasts), yes. There were others, including cycling along footways, ignoring red traffic lights, etc. That's very vague on your part. Your admission was clear enough, even if a little vague as to places, times and number of pedestrians threatened. I can only use the information you yourself have provided, coupled with your repeated failure to condemn acts of selfishness and sociopathy by cyclists. I have never defended cycling on the footway. I have also not condemned it - as you insist I should. The latter clearly means I must be a sinner in your eyes. You haven't condemned it, even though it is a clear offence and a clear threat (or, as you put it, "not an advantage") to pedestrians. There are plenty of places where it is not an offence. "Advantage" was your word. I said that mingling with pedestrians is a "disadvantage". The practicalities are the same whatever the law has to say about it. You didn't accept that going down a one way street (now legal) was a practical method of avoiding mingling. So your claims of putting pedestrians first are completely hollow. This goes with your remarkable and irresponsible claim that you "threaten no-one's safety". If you expected to be taken seriously, you could condemn it easily. I have no difficulty in condemning analogous illegal actions by the drivers and riders of motor vehicles. On the bike I have occasionally gone past a red light after taking all care. I have also driven past red lights after misjuding the timing. To you, the former worse than the latter because you judge intention rather safety. You're wrong. A mistake is a mistake. Anyone can make a mistake and everyone should be able to understand that. I have been at pains to emphasise that mistakes happen. You have the attitude that law matters more than safety. If that really was the priority, skills would have no value. Cyclists don't generally ride through red traffic lights, along footways, through pedestrian-only areas or the wrong way along one-way streets because they have made a mistake. They commit those offences deliberately and selfishly and everyone - including you - knows that. Actually, a lot of "no cycling" in pedestrian areas has no legal force. But even where "the law" is only for show I agree it is not necessarily a wise or proper thing to do. In this country the law says a person is innocent until proven guilty. You are pre-judging the issue with what you say above. Oh how you moaned about an off the cuff comment about a pavement driver attempting murder. |

You really can't see any connection between driving (which is a convenience) and the number of casualties? What does that have to do with your unfounded assertion that Nugent is "putting [his] convenience above the safety of others"? Sigh. For the hard of thinking. It is a fact (not an unfounded assertion) that a car is a convenience for the users (Nugent is no exception). It is a fact (not an unfounded assertion) that vehicle users KSI 3800 pedestrians a year. Whether you like it or not the two things are connected. The connection is so tenuous that it strains credulity. Cross an empty road. Do it again amongst moving traffic. Can you tell the difference? What's next? Are we making stabbings more likely because we own a kitchen knife? A stupid comparison. I know, you now want to ask why. Have a think about it and don't bother. |

Whether you like it or not the two things are connected. Your views seem remarkably similar to those of Guy Chapman, formerly of this parish. Furthermore, in your exchanges with JNugent, you are regularly slippery, and you have never been known to admit to being wrong about anything, no matter how bang to rights you are. Then, the other week, you went out of your way to praise Guy. Would he use a sock to compliment himself? Surely not... |

It's true that TMS320's posts have a characteristic quality about them. Guy Chapman is my Facebook friend and has not been here since 2014. |

And if I were Judith, but didn’t want people to know, I’d hardly have chosen this name to post under. I guess I’m just enjoying confusing the Mason computer program, not that that’s ever been difficult. Pamela is Judith. Or is she? |

In for a penny, eh? Did you know cyclists are perceived as an “out group” by drivers? That’s not actually what the TRL report said, of course, but then that’s why they call you “Porky”. Any news about the web page you changed? |

Perhaps you’re already aware of some - maybe all - of the above. It's true that TMS320's posts have a characteristic quality about them. He denies it. So that’s that, then; the one thing Guy never does is lie. He’s a Christian, after all. |
