Motor cars are dangerous.

Earlier today I left Chinbook Meadows with Meg.

Meg sat nicely on the pavement infront of the zebra crossing.

Cars in both directions stopped for us, and I called Meg to heel and
started to cross the road.

CRASH

A young lad in a car with a loud beatbox, smashed into the car infront
of him. That car then smashed into the shiny new car in front of her.
And that car was shunted onto the crossing narrowly missing Meg.

I continued over the crossing and went on my way, betting that the
three car drivers wished they had gone by bike.

Isn't that child abuse?

Thankfully they will all be insured. Unlike cyclists.

They have far more sense than that.

out of.
There is something seriously sick and stunted about grown men who want
to ride a bike."

Possible - but by no means a guarantee.

Oh - so they crash instead!

1.2 million of the 34 million drivers are uninsured - approx 3.5%,
compared to the vast majority of uninsured cyclists. (Est/Min figures).

The MIB takes care of claims from uninsured motorists. Who takes care
of the claims from uninsured cyclists?

Since 2005, when police were given powers to stop vehicles identified as
being driven without insurance, an average of 500 have been seized
nationwide each day. Of those, an estimated 30% are crushed.

How many cycles have been crushed?

Motorists account for 1 single fatality per 208,311,415 miles driven. A
simply incredible safety record.

Where do you get your figures for uninsured cyclists from?

I would expect a majority of cyclists to have third party insurance as
a minimum, but I am willing to have my expectation shown to be
incorrect.

I expect Judith to pounce on that very precise figure any second now.

Half of the poorest households do not have home contents insurance.
More than half of all renters do not have home contents insurance

Given that most cyclists are poor: this probably means that half the cyclists
on the road have no insurance.

There lies the problem. Since cyclists are an unregulated rabble, we
have no reliable figures.

Because you cannot support it. Since insurance is not compulsory &
cyclists are well know sponging freeloaders, we can assume most are
uninsured.

Motorists pay £46 billion a year in extra taxes, specifically so they
can use the roads.
Less than £10 billion of this is spent on roads.
Q: Do cyclists pay any specific, extra taxes in order to use their
vehicles on the road?
A: No. They are sponging freeloaders.
