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.)


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

Ever been caught short at 4AM on the road to nowhere?
I have, it is not very nice.

ho ho ho....well as a lorry driver I'm probably educated far higher

Err, no you are wrong. Marc would win on the education comparison.

Wanna bet?

I don't gamble, but if you are suggesting that they education required to
be a lorry driver exceeds the education of the poster known as Marc
then you are wrong.
The education needed to do a job has nothing to do with the education some
of the people doing the job have received.


Agreed, but he did say "as a lorry driver".

It doesn't make any difference, you can't trust anything a lorry driver
says. Don't forget this is the "profession" that is so untrustworthy
that the Government had to set up weighbridges because lorry drivers
can't be trusted to drive at a legal weight limit; Tachographs because
they couldn't be trusted to stay within their hours, even their hours
are restricted because they can't be trusted to drive when they aren't
tired; speed limiters because they can't be trusted to keep to speed
limits. Lorry drivers have shown over and over again that they can't be
trusted, so why would lieing about education bother them?

Really eating you that you couldn't make HGV isn't it.

Never interested me, I like sleeping at home and having a shower in the
morning.

That bit above speaks volumes about your level of literacy, Marc.

So do I. Managed to do that for the 16 years I drove trucks. Unlike you,
I also found the time to spell "lying" correctly. Oh, and the sentence
above should have a colon in it or be split into two.

The exception that proves the rule?

It's a discussion with lorry drivers, not worth the effort.

You are such an obnoxious **** that showering regularly is probably a
good idea.

(I am surprised that you are getting involved in "personal" insults
with your track record :-)

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)

I suppose there are those who appreciate a boring unadventurous life,
the world needs worker bees. In my HGV I have travelled every country
in Europe, North Africa and the Middle East to places far away as
Pakistan, Muscat, and Kano Nigeria, meanwhile you drive a supermarket,
each to their own.
