Err, in that 15 years, I was doing 2000 miles PER WEEK just working.
Some years my total personal and work mileage racked up to more than

They agree with me. People being pulled for driving too slowly has been
widely documented on the various TV reality programmes.
Wrong. Thankyou for demonstrating you have no clue.

There is a sort of proposal about that would make car insurers
responsible for injuries to cyclists automatically. This does not in any
way imply fault however!

A small number of bikes using them is one thing, but if it catches on
and road users start to think "bike" instead of "ambulance" I'm not
sure that's a Good Thing.

S'funny innit? You can be going hell-for-leather on a bike, close to the
speed limit and you will get some arse hounding you in a car behind for
presumably "holding them up". But you can drive the same route at the same
speed without any hassle.
And if you slow down, for junctions, roundabouts, pedestrians, crossings,

That is a joke.
If you drive as-fast-as-you-can, it makes very little difference to your
average speed. Yes you might get there an incy-wincy bit quicker there is no

AIUI, being able to stop within the distance you see clear, does not apply
on motorways.
Instead, a half second gap is generally good form, anything more is holding
up the traffic.
Just wait 'til Monday, an early morning frost is due. I'll bet that it is
the M1 and the M11 southbound which have the pile ups, obviously caused by

AIUI, 32 is the age where a man knows absolutely everything about the world.
Much younger and he has not had the experience, much older and he starts to
