“As a guiding rule it's best to view all motorists as lunatics in charge of a deadly weapon. The road is a meat slicing machine and you are the ham.”

“Erm, if she did her bike test at 17 she'd be eligible to ride a bike of any capacity after 2 years of restriction. Get your facts right please.”

“I agree with you Billy, as a cyclist (pushbike) and a motorist, I know how frightening it can be when riding my bike and seeing motorists 'look past' at cars - not noticing me on my bike, though I am 6 foot tall and wearing a fluorescent vest (!) and seeing them get ready to pull out and notice me in the last second.
In the car, I always make space for cyclists and motorcyclists, but a lot of motorists seem to delight in squeezing in as much as possible - it is ridiculously dangerous.”

“I have always said that car drivers should first ride a motorcycle and then they would relise how vunerable motorcycle riders are and how many times car drivers do not see them as they just do not think bike and it is hard not to see why as they have never been on the targeting sights of a car driver.
Driver once again I say 'Think Bike'”
