Sorry I don't fit your narrow minded viewpoint. Do you *always* drive within the speed limit? Are all your phone calls hands free? Do you ever park on double yellow lines? Are all of your lights working? Is your water bottle topped up? Do you use your fog lights as a fashion accessory? Are your brakes and tyres all legal? Do you always signal your intentions? Do you ever mount pavements?

So the millionaire cyclist who pay for his new yacht and incurs more in VAT than you will earn in your entire life, is more entitled to use the road than you? Game, set and match. -- Simon Mason |
