Right, so what is it I do to legally keep my car on the road then?

(for the record I have bike insurance)
I have no issue with cyclists generally.......

However, I do believe that there should be a licencing regime or something, if they are using the “roads” as some show no road sense whatsoever, such as looking behind you before you pull out or join traffic.

You need a different licence for a motorbike because you have to approach things differently to a car and it the same for a bike.

Also think about you clothing more, I know it has to be light and flexible, but live at the bottom of a hill on a rural road and the speed they reach as they go past my house, on skinny tyres, if they came off or Hit something - well it Would probably be the last thing they did.
