Entirely unashamed anti car propaganda, and the more the better.

I (and my companion) came moderately close to being killed by a speeding motorist today. Went out for a relatively short bike ride, nearly all on small lanes so as not to slow down motorists on A roads attending urgent appointments.
On one of these narrow lanes some kind of boy racer type car suddenly appeared in the opposite direction at great speed. Luckily we weren't just at a corner and there was a bit of a layby we could swerve into. He didn't make any effort to slow down, in fact he put his hand continuously on the horn as he approached and sped past. About 50m further along he had to stick the brakes on pretty hard as there was a white van coming the other way. Wasn't far off hitting it. Things momentarily got interesting when some blue lights started flashing on the van and its driver started having a word with boy racer. That was it though, he was allowed to continue on his way. We went to speak to white van man who apparently was a policeman, in an unmarked vehicle.
We told him what had just happened but it seemed there was nothing that could be done. Wished I'd got down there before he let the guy go, even if it had given me the opportunity to give him some of my opinions about his driving in the company of a police officer, possibly reducing the chances of me being violently assaulted as a result.
Starting to think it's time to get a helmet cam.
Us being on bikes is not really relevant here by the way. It was uphill and we weren't going at speed. We'd have been equally in danger if we were walking - no footpaths alongside these lanes. How about a family with kids, walking along in the road and then this guy suddenly flies round a corner?
I've come across the aftermath of such an incident before on a country lane by the way. Luckily we didn't see it directly. The way that some people told us to turn back and not go further was enough to make sure I'll not forget it though.
I wonder if boy racer is uploading his dashcam footage to youtube to share with his mates.

A likely story. 'suddenly appeared' is the most used and dismissed excuse on insurance claim forms.

Here's a driver getting 9 points without knocking anybody off. Let's have more of this:

The motorist was also given nine points on his licence for the appalling driving

He went up on the traffic island, the cunt.

Should be a straight ban tbh.

Definitely. Cunts like that shouldn't be on the road, they're a danger to everyone, including other drivers.

Again, this is driving without due care and attention when the CPS would have hands down got a dangerous driving conviction for that shit. Why are they so reluctant to go for it?
Saul Goodman

It would have been easy for the driver to say they thought the road was clear to overtake, but didn't see the island, then had to swerve to avoid it, and it would have been impossible to prove otherwise.
“but didn't see the island“ !!!!

Him parping them before the overtake would have helped destroy that defence.

I didn't hear that. I was watching it without audio.

Are you suggesting teuchter might actually be on a massive troll? Or just a hypocrite?

You're too late, T&P has already done this a few posts up. How come it's taken you folks 3 months to properly take this bait though?Here's one of them on his way to the Tory party conference...

I thought it was obvious from his posts that teuchter's a big Daily Mail fan.

Ambulances are quite different from private car use, which is exactly what teuchter did recently, and I suspect by no means an isolated incident.
If one advocates a total ban on private cars, one should really refrain from using teh evil Death Machine, however occasionally. It'd be different if the person in question was advocating a just a curb in the overall use of vehicles, rather than a ban.Or to put more blantly, if one constantly campaigns for a total ban on sex for others, they shouldn't go visiting brothels whenever they get the itch.

Yes because prostitution and sex are the same thing.
Occasional use isn't the problem. I took two taxis myself this year. It's lazy twats like you who've never walked to the end of the road they live in and are intent on using private motor vehicles even when public transport is quicker.

This is an obvious non seqitur, but do go ahead and explain the nonsense logic that leads you to say this. Just for entertainment value.
