Obviously the cyclist was passing too close.

When will they learn that us motorists need at least 2 metres?

Dave - Cyclists VOR. "Many people barely recognise the bicycle as a
legitimate mode of transport; it is either a toy for children or a
vehicle fit only for the poor and/or strange," Dave Horton, of Lancaster
University, wrote in an interim assessment of the Understanding Walking
and Cycling study. "For them, cycling is a bit embarrassing, they fail
to see its purpose, and have no interest in integrating it into their
lives, certainly on a regular basis."

What's "wrong" with talking on a mobile phone, then?

That's like asking what's "wrong" with driving motor vehicles.
Obviously they can be useful in some cases, but ...

What... you mean it's a silly question which cannot possibly produce a
useful answer but which tells us that the person implying that there
*is* something "wrong" with it isn't in tune with society?

Seems fair enough.

So there's nothing wrong with using a mobile phone, then. Not even
whilst sitting in, getting into or getting out of a car. Not even if
it's Margaret Hodge.

Glad that's settled.

The only reason I asked was that the author of that article cited above
seemed to think that there *is* something wrong with it. Else why would
he even mention it?

Obviously they can be useful in some cases, but ...

Is there a situation in everyday life where having a mobile phone
available to use is somehow positively harmful?

Yes, it's amusing that isn't it?

Well, starting with being a Palestinian bombmaker when Shin Bet have
modified your phone ...

I'm glad to hear that motorists' territorial demands are limited to 2
metres. I thought that you guys believed that you had bought the whole
road.
