They should crack down on pavement cycling, red light jumping etc.
Cyclists are serial law breakers.

BTW motorists don't cause carnage. Here is the dictionary definition (I
know you like those).

carnage
[kahr-nij]
noun
the slaughter of a great number of people, as in battle; butchery; massacre.

Motorists only account for 0.3% of deaths.

You ****ed up again,

Serious Collision Investigation Unit? I guess they get paid more than
the Minor Collision Investigation Unit.

This Gentlemen, is what is known as a feed line...

This demonstrates that licensing does not stop anyone from fleeing the
scene, or in this case stopping, and then fleeing.


It wasn't designed to, halfwit.

In the vast majority of cases it works as intended. Unlike cyclists who
are an unregulated rabble who consistently break the law knowing they
can't be identified.

My guess is it's a "sorry mate, I didn't see you, well bye.".

And 100% of cyclists break the law every day. Since cyclists are an
unregulated rabble, it's impossible to disprove that.



BTW motorists don't cause carnage. Here is the dictionary definition (I
know you like those).


Awwww ... has thicko **** bought his first dictionary? That is _so_
quaint!


But. unlike you, I can read it without my lips moving.

Motorists only account for 0.3% of deaths.


And cyclists account for 0.000202740237%.


Because they only constitute 2% of journey makers.

And of course that's another irrelevance, isn't it, you simple minded
little person?

You

hammered you
again.


Oh how clever of you. Mummy will be proud of her little soldier.

Everyone else will think you are a pathetic little ******.

We'd noticed.


You suffer from delusions of adequacy.

Statistics are not your strong point, are they, Plankwit.

With the UK population 64.1 million, if 0.3% of deaths are caused by motorists, 192,300 of us will be killed by motorists - that sounds like carnage to me.

Road injury is in the top ten causes of death worldwide, and the most common unnatural cause of death, according to the World Heath Organisation:

Certainly not yours, **** for brains.

Doh! The entire population doesn't die every ****ing year, halfwit.

547,500 people die every year in the UK, 1500 every day. Around 1750
people are killed in RTCs every year.

Road injury is in the top ten causes of death worldwide, and the most
common unnatural cause of death, according to the World Heath
Organisation:
http://www.who.int/mediacentre/facts...en/index3.html


Scraping in at number 9.

56,000,000 die worldwide, 1,300,000 from RTCs. 2.3%

In Europe the lowest death rates from RTCs is in the UK.

******.
