Just had this sort of discussion with my 15 yo. Best to learn to keep your mouth under control.

I am not at all for violence, but in general, you'd better shut up if you are not prepared to live with the consequences of what you say.

I do like the way the Mail have pixelated the Audi's number plate but linked to the YouTube photo in which it is not pixelated.

I had a car swerve in on me and attempt to hit me and I was cited (as a cyclist) I now have my go pro on universally. Unfortunately, most police don't like bicyclist either. Now that I am go pro'd and lawyered up I can finally cycle without fear.

I know I am going to look a fool here but what does 'p***k' stand for? I know 'p**t' but all I can think of for 'p***k' is 'plank' which maybe for a Daily Mail reader is a bit down on the streets! Someone educate me! :confused:

All round good guy.

I find the road markings to be confusing as hell. Are they bike lanes or bus lanes? At one point the road has clear car lanes, but at the intersection, the bike late becomes as wide as a car lane? Also found it comical that the bicyclist is annoyed at a car in the bike lane, but appears to have road in the car lane.

I was driving into work one day and there was a bicyclist in my lane one day, because there was a marked bike trail that was parallel to the road a right off the curb. I figured he was attempting to cross the lanes to get to the other side. As I enjoy bicycling myself I wanted to be courteous. So before switching lanes to avoid either one of us swerving into each other I tapped the horn to let him know I was there and I passed without incident. While waiting at the traffic stop down the road the bicyclist pulls up alongside my car raps the window hard and flips me the bird while screaming about his rights to ride on the streets and heaven knows what else and then proceeds through a red traffic light. Elephanting arse! Seeing this video allowed me to project my fustration on that guy. I do not advocate violence by any means but sometimes when two angry people cross paths there is that guilty pleasure of seeing them pummel each other and vicariously satisfy the resentment that one feels for people like them.

It was broke, so I fixed it.

I'm pretty sure the camera won't do anything to reduce the risk of someone in a car or truck running you over. After the fact it might help your estate sue the moron for everything he owns, but you'd still be pushing daisies.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

Thanks. I was never any good at crosswords!

All round good guy.

Maybe I'm missing something important here, but isn't f******* what a p**** is designed for? Where's the problem? I could easily imagine a worse insult ;P
