Of course it is.
But experience teaches us when and where it's safe to allow distractions, and when and where it's not.
We don't always have that choice when it comes to glancing at the speedo.
And what kind of driver would you rather (or rather not) encounter?
One who isn't aware of the exact speed they're doing, down to the nearest mph, or one whose unsatisfied craving for nicotine makes them want to rip someone's head off?
Abso-bloody-lutely Pete - a neat example of biochemistry at work! Another one is the body's reaction to being clad in Lycra and wearing a sperm-hat - thus stopping you seeing red traffic lights or white lane markers and completely destroying your responsibility for lane or junction discipline. But then, when you use a road vehicle for which you do not need to contribute in any way to the upkeep of the roads or have insurance against incidents with other road users, you really must be above the Law...
So much bile, so much hate, so much blinkered hypocrisy.
Surely your mom didn't run off with the (bicycle) delivery boy from the corner shop?
There are arsehole cyclists, just as there re arsehole drivers. Actually I feel more antagonism towards the arsehole cyclists because they damage the reputation of cyclists far more than arsehole drivers damage the reputation of drivers.
I have no idea how much you earn, MGTBT, but it is quite likely to be less than I do, in which case I contribute more to road maintenance than you do. Please stop with that silly argument, it simply shows you up as having no clothes.
