Of course, you may be on an entirely different planet where you never suffer from such misfortune or have the anti-cyclist rantings of the presneter of said programme published where he has threatened to run over cyclists.

Puts on Michael Winner Hat"Calm down dear, it's only an article"/Hat It's off topic for this group, but interesting nonetheless. It's proper place to discuss *on*-topic would be the driving group. This doesn't stop it being discussed here off-topic though. Anyway, my point of view ... you can blame whatever you like (Heavy Metal & horror films for murder etc), but it's the individual who finally makes the decision. So, these are just excuses and not reasons. If someone runs me over on my bike, I'm not going to start burning copies of insert motoring mag here. |

I don't think so, I know where you are coming from, but I'm just saying that they are quoted as reasons behind the bad beahaviour but aren't IMO the actual reasons. The real reason, is someone being a ****. So, in a way they are excusing the drivers bad behaviour because "JC told me to do it". |

From the same article "Top Gear, presented by Jeremy Clarkson, always put safety at the top of its list." "'Top Gear always observes stringent safety guidelines with regard to speed when it test drives any vehicle - whether it is on its test track or elsewhere,'" "Speed and aggressive driving is never glorified on the programme." -- Paul ... (8(|) Homer Rules ..... Doh !!! |
