Twist em round yer little finger and make them say whatever YOU want.

No matter what improvements have been made over the years to the safety of car occupants the majority of their deaths arise from serious head injuries. Why has the govt not taken this to heart and introduced a law making the wearing of crash helmets compulsory for all car users!?!

Same goes for pedestrians. There's that good old saying that you're more likely to die crossing the road than in an air crash! So why have we not seen the development of personal air bags (those of you over 21 stone may be excused ) and crash hats for pedestrians!?!

I also fall into the classification of "born again" biker although I've ridden bikes fairly continuously for over 20 years (yes, that does include petrol stops). It's a typical knee-jerk reaction term applied by anyone wanting to be a part of the majority of selfish bike-knocking car drivers that think they own the road and should get priority consideration cos they pay a tax to use it! Dont forget that we all pay for that PRIVILEGE, it's not a right.
