I've long thought the solution to that is to remove any legal consequences of running over such people. And allowing one to sue the estate of the deceased for the cost of the panel-beating and respray. And I am (or at least was) a cyclist.

Someone once wrote that when he was a driver, he hated pedestrians, and vice versa, but he always hated cyclists. I just find people contemptable.

As someone who does both, I can say that when you're a biker, you hate drivers and when you're a driver, you hate bikers.

It's been a while since I read the Highway code. I know when there is no footpaths, pedestrians are meant to walk on the oncoming traffics side of the road, is there any such rule for cyclists?
Plus, If cyclists ever give off about you trying to kill them, remind them you pay for the privilege to be on the road, they don't so it's their own fault if they get hit

Cyclists don't use the footpath. You're supposed to treat them like a tiny, crushable vehicle, possibly in the control of an idiot. Just like a car, but smaller and crushable.

And when he kicks off your wing mirror and disappears up an alley (which I once witnessed - the driver definitely earned it), remember that paying tax doesn't entitle you to be an *******.

I think you mean "cyclists shouldn't use the footpath.", subtle difference.

think in the niorth they're supposed to stay something like 300mm/1 foot away from the kerb/road edge, and cycle single file. hate these mass swarms of road cyclists that i've encountered recentlyin tyrone, eejits have turned a 50min drive into an hour and half.

My mother sending home caffiene free root beer from Florida with my dad. Like wtf mum! I just had 3 glasses trying to keep me awake to go collect Jake and then realise I may as well have been drinking water. Was yummy though, especially teamed with a bowl of lucky charms (minus the non-veggie marshmallows). Almost convinced myself am in USA. Sure am still on Ann Arbor time anyhow.

people at funerals pushing relatives of the deceased out of the way in an effort to follow the coffin. saw a couple of my (very distraught) aunts getting pushed aside recently at my granda's funeral, really really really wanted to punch someone in the face.

I told a group of Irish guys about Lucky Charms and they had never heard of it. Needless to say they cringed when I showed them the commercials. On a similar note, the Shamrock Shake has returned to McDonalds.
