I think you'll find that hospitals add *all* admission incidents to the stats. Guy Cunning Guy - not the use of the word "admission". If she was not admitted in to a hospital ward - ie she was only treated in A&E - would she appear in the stats? But you know the answer to that one - don't you? - the answer is *no*. You know that the Hospital data is very skewed and under-reported. "Slight injury figures are terribly inaccurate due to under-reporting, as anyone even slightly clued up on the subject is well aware." Guy Chapman September 2008 Why do you have to be so devious and despicable? Do you think that as a pedestrian you are more likely to be hit by a bike being intentionally ridden along the path than you are by a car being intentionally driven along the path? judith -- I encourage my children to wear helmets. (Guy Chapman) I have never said that I encourage my children to wear helmets. (Guy Chapman) I would challenge judith to find the place where I said I encourage my children to wear helmets. (Guy Chapman) I pointed out the web page He then quickly changed the web page - but "forgot" to change the date of last amendment so it looked like the change had been there for years. |

Guy If you say so, but this has nothing to do with the problem & don't forget not ever incident would end with a hospital visit. He is being devious and despicable - she will not have been included in the stats if all she did was visit A&E - he knows this but fails to mention it. |

If large numbers of cycles are deliberately ridden on the footway, legally or not, and vehicles are rarely driven deliberately on the footway, then how much more stark is the contrast between the injury figures, with motor vehicles accounting for many times more reported injuries to pedestrians on the footway than cycles. Guy No Guy - you are intentionally missing the point. This is why I find you so despicable - you know the reasons but you just cannot admit them. how about because most accidents between bikes and pedestrians are not reported to the police - and most accidents between motor vehicles and pedestrians are reported to the police. Any chance of an answer: Do you think that as a pedestrian you are more likely to be hit by a bike being intentionally ridden along the path than you are by a car being intentionally driven along the path? |

These farcilities are not looked on with favour by many cyclists, but when they ignore them in favour of the roads they are "encouraged" by some motorists to get on the pavement. Even where there is no magic paint and signs some motorists "encourage" cyclists to get on the pavement "where they belong". ho, ho, go - two in one message: Examples from the definition of psycholist: 2) They cannot bring themselves to use the word: "facility" in the context of a "cycling facility". Whatever the facility - they must try and ridicule it as they will not be able to fully comprehend the benefits as seen for all road users. This is achieved by using the alternative "farcility". 4) "Magic paint" - only used by the most inflicted psycholists. Used to describe signage to cyclist on pavements. Origin unknown. |

It is of course Perfectly Reasonable to drive a 38T artic at them in order to educate them as to the folly of failing to use a narrow grit-strewn footpath instead of a road when Magic White Paint (TM) is in place. Guy Now then Guy - any chance of an answer: Do you think that as a pedestrian you are more likely to be hit by a bike being intentionally ridden along the path than you are by a car being intentionally driven along the path? |

You're right, it does. Here's a single example - I was driving on the Oban peninsula last week past a set of roadworks posted at 40 rather than the usual 60, late evening, nobody in sight. Were it not for the identification on my car I'd definitely have exceeded that limit, but didn't for fear of a camera catching me out. As, I reckon, do many motorists every day. So, *thousands* of offences not committed then! |

As I said you agree with cyclist's breaking the law, glad we have established that. I agree with removing the prime incentive for them to do so, which also as it turns out is the major source of risk to pedestrians (on or off the footway) and cyclists alike. You probably didn't notice but I did point out that in many places cycling on the footway is now perfectly legal, due to the application of Magic White Paint (TM). They are now classed a duel use, not footways as yiu well know. You also know that we are talking about pedestrian footways. Note that in many places there are no footways, pedestrians are forced to use the carriageway. So It is long past time that people stopped making excuses for motor danger. Guy Who has done that You're (unfortunately) wasting your time, because you're arguing a point with someone who not only doesn't agree with your view but refuses to accept that it even exists. Guy is fervently, passionately, anti *any* legislation on cycling, and uses the Bollenlogic (TM) of saying "its nowhere near as bad as what someone else does". Using that logic its okay for us all to drive everywhere at 150mph, because someone else has already been caught at 172 so we're not as bad as him. The key difference between Chapman and the motorist groups he so despises is that the motorists are quick to condemn lawbreaking by their peers while Chapman insists that lawbreaking cyclists should be excused because "they're only breaking the law to hide from those dangerous motorists!". What I think is the funny bit is that despite that somewhat blinkered perspective Chapman keeps calling other sociopathic! And that is one of the best & truest posts I have read for a long time -- Tony the Dragon |
