Survey - Lorry Drivers vs Cyclists
"JMS" wrote in message ... There is a running thread in uk.rec.cycling.moderated about a survey being done for the CTC regarding cyclists and lorry drivers. Some have said that the design of the survey is totally biased in favour of cyclists The site says : "If you are a regular cyclist, please answer the 10 questions that follow." http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?s...DNa0bc2A_3d_3d I do like the balanced and fair nature of the questions in this survey and the way lorry drivers are treated with respect by those lycra urban warriors. Question1) Are lorry drivers ****s. A) Yes, they're ****s. B) Yes, mostly they are ****s. C)Yes, quite often they are ****s. D)Yes, they're all ****s all of the time. E) I've never met a lorry driver who isn't a ****. In this text box section you can add in further thoughts (on why lorry drivers are ****s and should be banned from the roads.) |

In article , JMS says... I expect that many "cyclists" who read uk.transport and uk.rec.driving will be adding their views :-) That may provide some balance How can it? It claims " The CTC Accident Line is surveying both cyclists and lorry drivers " yet where is the lorry side of this? FFS - I am sorry - I had forgotten that quite a few people here were actually quite thick. There will never ever be any balance in that survey - I never thought otherwise - that was the reason for the post. Why did I post it here and encourage "cyclists" from uk.transport and uk.rec.driving to respond? Any ideas? Why did I put "cyclists" in quotes? As I say - ffs. -- Many cyclists are proving the need for registration by their contempt for the Highway Code and laws. The answer: All cyclists over 16 to take compulsory test, have compulsory insurance, and be registered. Registration number to be clearly visible on the back of mandatory hi-viz vest. Habitual law breakers' cycles confiscated and crushed. (With thanks to KeithT for the idea) |

That's fair and unbiased isn't it? irony noted Yup, that pretty much sums up the views of the cyclists who have responded on urcm. It's not a well drafted survey and the results shouldn't be taken seriously. You are right they should not be - it will be interesting to say the least as to how the results are reported.

Are the motorist fraternity going to "provide some balance" by saying it's a wonderful survey? You really are a plonker of the first order. |

Thanks for giving me the chance to point this out. A pity that your questions missed out on how bad lorry drivers smell. |

I'd go for "B", which just goes to show you can get mixed and unbiased opinions from cyclists. Perhaps Lorry drivers around here are a different type of **** than they are in your manor. Didn't NM admit that he a) drove a lorry, and b) drove like a **** when there are cyclists around? |

(With thanks to KeithT for the idea) A brainless survey, eminently suitable for cyclists, written using simple words they can understand. using questions of which they will certainly approve and already supplied with answers that they will find acceptable. As a survey it's worthless. |

We should get badges made so we can recognise each other in the street, and develop funny handshakes. We must have enough members by now for that to be viable. |
