• Sticking people in a car, with lots of sound proofing totally discontented from the road aurally as well as physically meaning that the person in the car has less to fear.

    Good point. I've always thought that the roads would be a much nicer place if all motorists were able to drive convertibles. The removal of that communication barrier would make a lot of difference in my opinion. Whether I am cycling or driving, I tend to just see 'cars', not the actual people within them.

  • I'm always checking out the people inside the cars to see if they are looking at me and if that's affecting what they are about to do. I do this because I've ridden bikes/motorcycles in C. London for tens of thousands of miles and I'd like to be able to carry on without serious injury.

    I also drive a car and a van and I don't recognise myself in the stereotypes for behaviour in the different categories, but I don't doubt that I've annoyed or or caused minor inconvenience to many people in the years driving in London just by being on the roads.

    @lynx As miro_m said "I'm sorry you feel that way" Which I've said to a few motorists over the years because of their opinions/actions towards bikers.

    I do have a list of stereotypes pegged for certain behaviour that I dislike though, and some pet hates, so no different from everyone else really.
