Why is stating that we should be blaming idiots going round corners too quickly for creating danger on our roads, and not people on bikes riding on the carriageway, even if they are in the middle of the lane, trolling?
Road safety ( indeed safety in all of life ) depends on EVERYBODY seeking to make decisions to ensure the safety of all others on every occasion. Except to you when an idiot on two unpowered wheels does it- as you admit by stating it's OK to ride in the middle of a road on a BLIND (in capitols ,in case your eyes are a bit dim) bend. Yet you still blunder on defending this.

bit, but despite that you constantly harp on about the cyclists "DIVINE RIGHT " to evade all safety reasoning. History lesson - What happened to the bloke who decided that a person ( in this case Monarch) had a "DIVINE RIGHT " -- yep - you're right- he lost his life . like cyclists, who insist that they have a "shield of immortality ( or should that be "immorality") surrounding them by riding through red lights/down motorways, they ARE not immortal,and more than most road users should remember that.
but then,i only spent the last ten or so years with two hats, when I worked.
Hat 1- I was a rail signal tech, working on safety critical safety equipment.
Hat 2- the bloke in charge of the site safety of the blokes on track, with blokes on open tracks with trains with limited brakes travelling at 125MPH. Make an error and it might be a room without a view for 10 years, and cost your best mate his arms/legs or life.
