How do you know?

What are you talking about?

I ask on the assumption that you know what you are talking about. I
accept that that might not be a safe assumption.

Ask yourself what you're talking about.

No, I was asking you what you were talking about.

You have to know what you were talking about first.

It's not my (or anybody else's) problem when you can't understand your
own words.

Perhaps you were trying to say something along the lines of "I have
never rounded a corner or bend and crashed"? Something quite different
to your statement above.

That applies as well.

Not "as well". It is the only fact you know could be true.

But it does not undermine or in any way countermand what I actually
said. My practice is always to drive at no more than a speed from which
I can stop within the distance I can see to be clear.

I ask again. How do you know?

Well, my version happens to be the experience of most people and
nobody needs driving or cycling lessons from you.

That cyclist in the news story could have dome with being told to ride
at no greater speed than the one which permits him to stop within the
distance he can see to be clear.

Which is?

But perhaps it's wrong to assume that
he would be able to stop within any reasonable distance at all. After
all, he wouldn't be the first cyclist to have no brakes fitted to his
bike, would he?

Don't be stupid.
