  1. Anyone else heard/read about this? James Martin is in trouble after claiming he inflicted "sheer terror" on cyclists. The television presenter, writing in a magazine column, told how he forced a group into a hedge while test-driving a sports car. He described the incident as the "best thing I've ever seen in my rear-view mirror. I expect you all some pretty strong thoughts about this!

    Unfortunately there are idiots like that on the roads, just yesterday a van cut me up to turn left and he was in the outside lane, I'm not exactly invisible. And today the same happened with a sports car driver only this time I gave him rude hand signals.

  3. Yes unfortunately this happens everywhere in the world

    Have a read of this from Sydney
    Driver found guilty over cycle smash | The Australian

    This guys pulls in front of a pack and slams his brakes on, making all the riders crash either onto the road or into his car.
    He misses court 4 times, and only gets a $1200 fine.
    $45000 worth of damage to the bikes & not to mention medical bills & so on, and he only gets a $1200 fine.

  4. Yep, it was all a-Twitter, last week.

    The Mail cut the (worst) offending paragraph and the **** apologised ... sort of, without admitting guilt.

    I write this from a hospital bed, after being mowed down by a red-light-running pickup truck.
