does it not hurt you that the RSA dont report how many people have died from air pollution? 1500 per year
why dont the RSA report that?
All that wood being burned up North?
So deaths went up, while car journeys went down.
That would indicate cars aren’t the problem.
of course cars arent the problem, as yet they dont drive themselves
cagers are the problem

didnt cycling increase greatly during the lockdown…
all deaths are cager related
Ballinaboola near Bennettsbridge? That’s some tail back.
You’re getting a wee bit out of hand. Just work a bit harder and you’ll be able to afford a car like most of the rest of us.
Car journeys went down
Cycling journeys went up
Deaths increased.

Jesus I didnt want give a single example but fuck it i will. I was driving near where I’m living yesterday, high ground and the concil don’t grit the roads up this way. It was legal like glass. I was going maybe 30km/hr it was that bad and a cyclist came towards me on a typical road racing bike. In those conditions it would be a cagers fault he dies or his own stupidity for cycling in unsuitable conditions with narrow tyres?
I can handle a skid at the speed I was going but he must have had a death wish.
What has that got to do with a moron cycling on a road covered in black ice? If he slipped and caused serious harm to himself would that be a cagers fault
there is a hierarchy of responsibility on the road, people in charge of the largest vehicles, with the potential to cause the most harm in a collision, bear the greatest responsibility to take care and reduce the danger they pose to others
But is he not responsible for himself in that instance? The hierarchy is correct but it doesn’t absolve people from stupidity. Personal responsibility is also needed. You would walk across the road in front of the bus and blame the bus for hitting you?

I’d say the motorcyclist is the most vulnerable of all road users.

Certainly did in my neck of the woods lycra lads all over the place,
bellies hanging out, and some guys wobbling over the white line,
plain to see half never did much cycling beforehand - and believe me all around me are narrow country roads that brave heart wouldn’t tackle, simply too dangerous
Where does the ass and cart fit into all this?
