Why don't motorists learn to use their eyes, ears and empathy?

Thanks to Mrcheerful for yet more examples of very poor driving:-

“Despite the fact that I wore a high-visibility jacket and had two
bright rear lights and two fluorescent green panniers, the driver cut
in as he overtook me.

“I shouted out a warning and knocked on the roof of the car, but the
driver continued to cut in and struck the bike, causing me to fall to
the pavement.”

-----

“The explanation given by the driver was ‘I only saw you at the last
moment because all my windows were steamed up, all right?’"


Childish incompetents allowed to run death-dealing machines.

Don't cut fuel duty and don't stop drivers smoking.

Wasn't that comment was from another near miss that Dr Magoo suffered later
in the week?

Anyone stupid enough to take their hand away from the most powerful brake
and the steering controls when in an alledged near miss should not be on the
road.

The cyclist is obviously lying. He hasn't got lights and he was riding
on the pavement until he got knocked over while performing an RLJ.

Sounds like this bus driver I met the other day.
