It's bad enough having getting

Every time (at least so far) that I have nearly been struck on
pedestrian crossings the criminal has ben a motorist.


Are you sure it isn't your attitude? I've been driving cars/
riding bicycles and m/bikes for over 40 yrs and only ever
encountered 'one' stroppy motorist,who seemed to have a srew loose.
