Maybe if motorists actually stopped at red lights once in

When I learnt to drive most of the time was spent going
backwards, waving an arm out of the window and shuffling
the steering wheel. The test provided very little that was
actually useful so everything was immediately forgotten and
the proper driving stuff had to be self-taught.

You are Mr Toad and where do I get my £5?

I will tell you where to find it when you're ready to go by
bike.

But you aren't young enough to have done a different test.
Perhaps you still shuffle and wave your arms around because
you do everything you are told. I imagine you wear gloves and
a hat - well, you would obviously want to since you need the
window open.

Do you also find the windscreen wipers stop when going uphill?

I *am* surprised that any "aware" cyclist here has the nerve
to mention windscreen wipers.

WOOSH.

(Think about why I said 'uphill'.)

Cyclists don't need windscreen wipers. I am surprised you don't
know this.

Neither do pedestrians or drivers.

Drivers don't need them? Well, that's interesting.

Is it?

Or are you confusing yourself as the difference between a human and
a piece of machinery?

No confusion. If you are talking about humans then you had no reason
to mention cyclists. You can never resist making snide remarks.

I never said that cyclists "need windscreen wipers".
