  1. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/4724883.stm is about mobility
    scooters and mentions that their operators killed eight pedestrians
    last year.

    In the "comments" section someone claims that cyclists are more
    dangerous to pedestrians. Some may like to point out that this
    comment is wrong...

    I will always explain revoked keys, unless the UK government
    prevents me by using the RIP Act 2000.

    It actually says they were involved in eight fatalities - how many of these
    were the scooter rider? (I suspect most).

    Non-members of urbancyclist-uk will not get this reference. Suffice it
    to say that on the basis of one person's posts it appears to be the
    most dangerous place in the country to cycle!
