Back to bad driving: I blame the media - newspapers and especially radio jocks - for a lot of it; they opine as if it's my responsibility as a cyclist to stop drivers knocking me off my bike. It's not. It's the drivers' responsibility not to kill me. Oh, yes, I'll happily wear hi-viz and a helmet, but these won't stop bad drivers from crashing into me.
