Unconscious humour?

"POLICE have launched a crackdown on cyclists who are putting their
lives at risk by riding without lights during terrible conditions
at the darkest time
of the year.

"Officers stopped 33 riders in two hours at Bournemouth s Cemetery
Junction...".

Maybe the cyclists think it won't make much difference anyway to
half- blind killer drivers. When I was rammed I was using lights
and the motorist admitted he didn't even see me. Pity the police
can't pull over drivers to test their night vision.

were you killed then or is then

I was injured as luckily it happened at slow speed. I could easily
have been killed.

any mention of a lit cyclist being killed?
if not then why change the thread title yet again?

Because it is deliberately biased against cyclists on a cycling
newsgroup and originates from a motorist.

Doug

so you actually have no opinion on why cyclists don't have lights at night?
and you think that my question is anti-cyclist? It is a question about uk
cyclists, where is your problem with that?
