Too many people seem obsessed with their 'rights' than anything, that coupled with the 'professional victims' you know the ones, equipped with multiple cameras, and then proceed to cycle erratically proclaiming to all unfortunate to encounter them that they've now got you ON CAMERA and they'll be reported to the POLICE

Guys like that bellend from Bristol who used to go out of his way to have some encounter or another, so he could upload it on Youtube and feel good about... well I'm not sure what, but evidently something. The guy who ran down some bint on a shared cycle foot path but it was her fault because 'she was in his way' despite the fact he was going like the clappers on an electrically assisted bike.

I cycle too as well as drive a large car, and I've never had any incidents, but then I'm not really looking for any, perhaps that's the difference.
