There are dammned motorists too. My son cycles to work in London. Last year he was knocked off his bike - cracked shoulderblade, dislocated collarbone, cracked ribs - and he was lucky. Several trips to hospital and many lost days at work. We cancelled our holiday to help look after our grandson. The (elderly) driver was convicted for careless driving but neither he nor we got compensation for his moment of inattention.

He's back on his bike now, but frequently he tweets as he did last week:

Another horrible close pass on the bike yesterday. Getting the clip off the camera today, I see they're also speeding and in a bus lane. How are these idiots allowed a license?

(He did send the clip to the police.)

So please drive carefully - and keep cool.
