I'm getting a feeling of deja-vu

Can I help it if cager trolls are sufficiently uninventive as to
require the same reply each time? ;-)

Ah, so you are going to break your word and drive incorrectly (i.e.
illegally) based on the behaviour of a small group of cyclists who,
incidentally, are every bit as unpopular with us cyclists as they are
with cagers.

I wouldn't classify them as a small group, especially in London.

The main problem as far as I can see it is that London is mistaken for
the general situation by most journos. Where I am, the majority of
cyclists ride completely legally. Those who do not are mainly teenage
boys, a groups not noted for their compliance with regulations in any
area - and I'd rather they were on bikes than in cars.

Maybe, maybe not. Fact is, the "cyclists don't pay" argument is a
cager troll, whoever posts it :-)

Still don't know what a cager is.

Not sure it's a troll if posted to uk.transport.london (which I did) - maybe
it would be on uk.rec.cycling

To me, it's a fair and just observation.

It's a motorcyclists' term for car drivers, specifically those whose
attitude is defined by the fact that they are surrounded by a strong
steel cage.

To me, it's a fair and just observation.

And to us it's a troll, and a hoary old one at that :-)

Someone who sits in a cage.

You missed off irrelevant.
