Lovely idea. But what is a the definition of an SUV?

However, crash test experts at Euro NCAP and Thatcham have hit
back at the suggestion, stating that whilst SUVs are generally
heavier, they 'do not necessarily present a greater threat to
pedestrian and cyclist safety'.

Based on tests with dummies...

...otherwise known as militant cyclists?

What's a militant cyclist?

Those that come blasting towards me on the footpath and tell me to
**** off when I obstruct them. Not one of the cowards has dared to
face me down.

Is your mobility scooter pavement legal and do you have insurance
for it?

Have you always been a prat?


Just answer the question.


I don't have one.
Please answer my question.


Have you stopped beating you wife?
