Just reading the news today:
http://www.news24.com/News24/South_Africa/News/0,,2-7-1442_1367657,00.html
What is it about motorists (admittedly a drunk one in this case), that they develop psychopathic tendencies and try to intimidate or run down cyclists??
Apart from all the sensible things like riding sensibly and making sure you're visible, what can we do to protect ourselves? In South Africa right now the general aggressive tendencies of all motorists poses a serious threat to cyclists - anyone have any suggestions about a strategy to change attitudes or remove these morons from our roads?
