I had a motorcyclist in the office wanting to extol the virtues of the lifesaver together with lots of generalisations about cycles. I let him get if off his chest and then offer my own bit of friendly advice, how about don't travel at double the speed limit all the fucking time!
I have no doubt that for motorcyclists, the 'lifesaver' is very important. I've always thought, though, that while for pedal cylists looking behind is important, too, 'lifesaver' is an overly dramatic expression when applied to cycling.
