I dunno, but there's at least one where cyclists congratulate each other on their latest achievements in charging along on the footway and in ignoring red traffic lights. Will that do?

No Iain I was overtaking , but I travel with sufficient space between me and the vehicle in front There was no way he should have been travelling at 70 MPH with an un-braked trailer The only time I tailgate is when I'm in a queue and doing 5 miles an hour then its 10 feet behind. Several years ago my wife was in a multiple shunt and as a result suffered severe whiplash She was stopped at traffic lights , the car behind didn't stop You learn by other peoples misfortunes DieSea
