I'd rather they were sensible and did what they reasonably can to stay out of trouble but if they prefer to be stupid and take their chances so be it. They're no different in mindset from idiot car drivers, just a whole lot more vulnerable and that fact only adds to their stupidity.

Now, now no need to get uppity because you can't impose your couch potato views on other people.
You prolific keyboard warriors will say anything to "show your concern for the well being of others before their day of reckoning comes" (embarrassingly biblical
). If you really care, lobby for proper protection and facilities for cyclists instead of "come-into-my-cab-and-you-can-see-I-can't-see-you-therefore-when-you die-because-I'm-unsighted-it's-your-fault" schemes.
Neither of you offered an opinion on CCTV for lorries so that they are fully road aware as they should be.
