There were comments on the forum at work (a FTSE 100 company) about cyclists paying road tax. One chap was cut up by a "helmetless tawt"- his words. I pointed out helmets weren't compulsory and I don't wear one. The chap's response was "I hope a car runs over your head and scrapes your face off". I complained to the forum moderators, they said "Well, the thread got heated". I complained to HR, the chap had to sign a form saying he wouldn't behave like that again. There were other comments about running cyclists over and about how cyclists using helmet cams were "entrapping" drivers, I gave up.
Whenever anyone mentions road tax and cyclists I get killy.
