    And here's the point.

    People (to generalise) often make judgements upon people based on stereotypes. You may not, but that doesn't mean that many people don't.

    You may believe that collective responsibility is bollocks, but every single time I hear "you fucking cyclists are all the fucking same, jumping red lights and riding with no lights" I believe it does exist in many people's heads.

    It's a logical fallacy mind-shart.

    It is a FACT of human nature (for a lot of people). Until greenhell tells us his secret knowledge as to how that limited form of thinking is eradicated then collective responsibility IS NOT bollocks. It aint fair or logical but it exists.
