In response to Clockwise and andyp's comments,,,,,Hey come on guys, as a PTS driver and cyclist I spend about 25% of my driving day stopping lorries turning stupidly into cyclist paths, receiving abuse from their drivers wearing the sticker "if you can't see my mirror's I'll fucking turn anyway"...so lay off with your euphemism crap. Obviously I mean this in the nicest possible way and as my mum would say "be cool without being a fool".......Have fun out there

Hey Clockwise, Apologies if I misunderstood your ealier post I was reacting to the idea that all ambulance drivers been the same inconsiderate drivers out there just because someone had an issue with one or perhaps two, the point I was trying to make is that we are all different and should be treated that way, we all know that cycling and driving in london is bad enough without the prejudices,..... yes is your answer not4sale but not emergency. cheers all.

Not a euphemism, run someone over and kill or seriously harm them the fine will often be less than the cost of the bike they are riding.
