Drivers never do any of those things do they cos they're all perfect. (Apart from the taxi driver who overtook me last Sunday, giving me so little room, that I could have slapped his car if I'd wanted to)Quote:

And cyclists who ride on the pavement and ride across pedestrian crossings expecting the traffic to stop as if they are pedestrians, ride the wrong way on one one streets, jump traffic lights etc. should be fined and they should have a licence so points could be deducted until they'd have to chain their bike to their garden fence and leave it there for 6 months.
