Default Institutionalised law-breaking using bikes - anarchy is nearat hand

It is also worth pointing out that motorists only seem law-abiding by
comparison if you exclude the types of offences they are most likely
to commit. For some reason those motorists who attack cyclists for
running red lights often become very defensive if the word "speeding"
is mentioned :-)


Come on, be fair Guy. There was only the tiny number of 1.5 million
drivers prosecuted for speeding in 2002 heading for a likely 2 million
in 2003. Anyone would think it was common for motorist to break the law
whereas cyclists - well the massive number of 700 prosecutions a year
for all offences says it all.
