It looks like you can still find assholes with chips on their shoulders picking out of sheer spite on those more fortunate than them. Notice that these British Krygowsk-equivalents are "volunteer policemen". You can bet your house that if you accuse them of acting out of envy and spite, they'll say sourly, "Well, I never got a chance to go to Cambridge." Andre Jute |

Frank Krygowski considered Sat, 9 Nov 2013 09:18:48 -0800 (PST) the perfect time to write: http://tinyurl.com/cambridge-lights - Frank Krygowski All courtesy of the tory blight, which has been inflicted on Cambridgeshire, (elected by a single figure percentage of voters) and refuses to take road safety seriously enough to do anything about dangerous driving, speed limit enforcement, careless driving, infringement of cycle lanes by motor vehicles, or threatening behaviour (as long as it's done with or from a motor vehicle). And note that the car that was stopped without lights only received "words of advice", despite clearly posing a far greater hazard to the general public. Clear double standard (if you can find any standard at all - I doubt if Sir Graham Dim could even spell it). I don't really mind them having the occasional blitz on unlit cyclists - it's not a continuous thing, it's a few hours, it gets headlines, and encourages people to get lights. Note the timing - after the clocks change, which is when people need reminding. The fines aren't even fines unless you fail to demonstrate you've gone and got some lights. That's positive policing, not being miserable facists. |

I don't want to be surprised by one of those coming head-on at me. Last time I saw a lightless, wrong-way cyclist was just the night before last. He was no problem to me because I was walking on the sidewalk, but I do often ride that street at night. - Frank Krygowski |

As pedestrians have no lights or reflectors, if a cyclist was to do similar, provided they were moving at pedestrian speeds and could easily move off the road if needs be, is there really a difference? Maybe it's how they think? -- JS |
