Of course thats untrue, i've probably shit up many a cyclist when i was driving, they just weren't as mad, quick or dumb to do what i did.
How much is a windscreen £1000. Does the car heal? Does it get a little more scared now when it see's a bike, does the driver? How much is a broken arm worth? A graze on the shin, a bent wheel, a knock to the confidence? Can these be calculated, can a driver ever know what its like until he is a cyclist? When all drivers have compulsory cycling proficiency tests before they are allowed near any motor vehicle, i'll mellow, until then i'll feel the way that particular motorist made me feel at that particular time. ... I've cursed someone to see them mouth 'sorry' at me, which embarrassed me and broke a scowl into a smile instantly, now that invariably makes my day.
apoligies for the novel!
