Excellent. Should be required reading for all drivers.
(Imagine if, instead of the "nice way code", there had been an campaign spreading this informantion.)

Good old Carlton Reid taking the argument to the motoring press. Good comments including Gareth gates from X factor? And also about moderation of comments which has ensured the whole piece is pro cycling (one comment about MOT for bikes)

Paul Stevens Commented:
Cyclists do not pay road tax nor do the vast majority have any form of 3rd party insurance, nor any form of proper riding qualification (yet can ride at over 40mph!), thus they have no rights on the public road. I get so annoyed by the cyclist self opinionated view that they are always in the right and all other road users are wrong. Now lorry designs are having to be changed because idiot cyclists who think they can ignore red lights, use pavements, ignore the rules of the road and put themselves in the wrong places through ignorance are getting injured. You don't pay tax, you don't have insurance, you don't have a riding licence, you don't have any rights on the road. Get out of the way!"
Think that covers most things.

Wonder if he drives a big German car (seeing as he's happy to stereotype)?

Aw, shame, his comment must have been allowed through, it was all going so well too
