How about it happens... FACT</p> <p>"Liability in the action is contested. The council said the presence of the tram lines was or ought to have been obvious to all careful road users. It is said: “They were clearly visible and did not present a significant risk of an accident to any careful cyclist exercising reasonable care.” “Careful cyclists requiring to cross tram lines should do so at as large an angle as possible, at <strong>slow speed</strong> and when taking care. If that cannot be done a cyclist should <strong>dismount</strong>,” it is said."</p> <p>It is said again.</p> <p>It is said the EEN sucks manure through a rancid hose.</p> <p>I just said it so it is said.</p> <p>Slow speed, aye try that with a taxi right up yer chuff.<br /> Dismount? Aye and walk the entire tram route... </p>
