Collective Responsibility?

In a sense, yes.

It was usually brought up in conversation without me explaining the concept or asking about it.

Ah, I see what you mean now. Thank you! PM incoming.

Generally talking, collective responsibility is not the scapegoat of individual responsibility?

You are introducing sampling bias by going to social media/cycle groups. If you want to find out what people on Facebook cycling groups think then that's fine, if you want to draw conclusions about what people who cycle think then or what a representative cross section of the public think you'll have to find a more random way to find interviewees. You'll probably need more to draw any decent conclusions.

When I'm driving I like to take the available road space meaning that I merge at the last point to do so, I rationalise this by thinking it reduces congestion by using all available space. When other people do this to me I really fucking hate it because they are dirty queue jumpers.

people eh, they're all wankers.

Thank you, that will just have to be one of my limitations regarding my research and something that I or someone else can draw upon in later research.

I shouted into an echo chamber, you won't believe what I heard.

Yes many road users say they think RLJing is risky

cf. r/london on reddit.

people eh, they're all wankers.

Wankers? as opposed to what?

Some are wankers as you construe that term, probably a small minority of all the people you interact with on the road

I really fucking hate it

What do you hate about it?
(And you hate despite your (correct) rationalisation that it reduces congestion.)

I was wondering what your views are on it?

We only have one collective view.

We only have one collective view.

I don't...

It was all a bit tongue in cheek.
