Yes, the 'Why must we have cyclists?’ quote, was my personal favorite out of those incoherent rambling.

Keith Peat is a nut

Well, I just went off Andrew Lawrence.

Keith Peat is a cunt Fixed that for you!

Keith Peat is the most beautifully crafted parody of the car lobby I've ever seen, I'm fairly sure it's all written by @skydancer

Yes, I'm getting that vibe.

I think my favourite Keith Peat section was:

The focus on road safety and drivers already amounts to oppression of a valuable resource, drivers

All authorities should look much more compassionately towards drivers who at great cost are providing a vital service within an inherently dangerous scenario. Most driving offences are totally unintentional. Punishment isn’t a deterrent to an accident and unintentional act.

Kieth Peat is a great supporter of http://www.drivetoworkday.org. As his Keith Peat's dog

unnatural speed!

Unnatural speed

That is actually amazing

Why must we have drivers of 'varying skill and mental capacity'?

Peat has shown himself to be at risk of failing to meet any reasonable minimum for the latter.

"I am Selfish and Lazy but I Have a Big Car So Fuck You"

Excellent.

Oh god, if only this could be done. I despise the attitude and accompanying culture of those that contribute to the utter clusterfuck around school gates in the morning.

There's no real problem at my daughter's school. There's no real parking outside the school anyway and it seems only 10 parents drop their kids off by car (probably something to do with having to live within a gnats chuff of the school in order to get in).

It is the site of some of the worst pedestrian behaviour I've seen though, not by the children but by their parents. The children look before crossing the road, the parents just walk out.

When I used to go past around school drop off time I often made a point of skidding to a stop just in time (I know, a bit of a dickish thing to do akin to a punishment pass) and then saying "Maybe you can teach your mummy how to cross the road safely."

Black cab (!) LS57 URM on his mobile phone on E&C roundabout (!!) this morning. Reported to Roadsafe.

The road was clear ahead but he had his head down on his phone and had completely lost track of things. You're meant to be a fucking professional driver you fucking twunt. I'm glad Uber won their court case.

Keith Peat. What a cunt.

You can always tell when someone's on a phone, you'll see some crap driving up ahead, car sat there after others have gone, etc. catch up to them and they're gazing into their lap.

On a related note, prosecutions for phone use down by 50% even though usage remains the same. http://www.rac.co.uk/press-centre#/pressreleases/prosecutions-for-motorists-using-a-mobile-phone-at-the-wheel-fall-by-half-in-five-years-1235973 I don't think it should be up to the police to choose which laws they want to enforce (similar to 20mph limits).

this was on the wireless this morning. first comment read out by the presenters: "what's worse is when cyclists and pedestrians do it - if i hit one because they're on their phone, it'll be their fault because insurance" all allowed to go completely unchallenged, obvs.

I was clipped by a car pulling out of a line of traffic without looking as I overtook this morning. It was a gentle tap in the end but I was going fast and an inch or two differently it could have been much worse. Ashamed to say that when the offender failed to stop and passed me, pretending not to see me flagging him down,I saw red and did the full Hulk-out waaaaagarbl, hit his car, then chased him down yelling obscenities. Got the number tho.

Worth reporting?

Always report a tap in the end (gentle or otherwise). ;)

Seriously though - glad it was a minor bump and it sounds like you're ok. I'd report the *rseh*le for not stopping and leaving the scene. They can't have known whether or not there was damage done unless they stopped to find out.

Yep. Tbh the pulling out was almost forgivable. I didn't see an indicator but I was travelling apace and it's possible that I missed it and appeared in their blind spot between them checking the mirror and starting to pull-out. Shit happens and I should have probably been riding a bit more defensively. However, the failing to stop bit is totally unforgivable. That's what flipped the adrenaline rush of the close-call into boiling hulk-smash car-chasing rage.

Yes.

Some cunt in a Merc still owes me a shoe buckle for the same kind of move. Lucky I haz mad skillz otherwise I'd be bleeding out all over the road somewhere.
