My point above was that I challenge the motorists or in that particular instance a motorcyclist, thought pattern on their own ground so to speak.
Their whole thought pattern is flawed but unfortunately it's part of the sickening class system that operates in a minority of motorists minds and generally I only have less than a minute to drive(sorry) the point home.
Yesterday opproaching a left turn off a narrow section of A road with double white lines down the centre with a JCB digger coming the other way,I was signalling clearly left when woman in a small hatch decided it was the ideal time to overtake causing the JCB driver to take evasive action,yet the small red van following her shouted to me as I turned,through his open passenger window ''get off the f***ing road'' clearly as much an idiot as said woman in HB,she would've needed to wait perhaps all of 2to3 seconds
It's that kind of class system stupid thinking that's the problem,which is bad enough in itself but when no one in authority is challenging it,and this ever growing minority of goons become more emboldened due to a lack of policing or worse still bad policing that doesn't uphold the law,this thought pattern is rarely challenged.
One final point is that if I get into conversation with anyone with that kind of class system/freeloading cyclists/no insurance/no road tax attitude.I give them the full arguement,it tends to be a rare occurrence,but when I do they either back off PDQ after a few minutes as they know their arguement is flawed,or they stick their metaphorical fingers in their ears like some creationist believer faced with the facts of evolution.
