Your Driving Was Not Very Good, Mr Range Rover (IMO), and a cool R65 BMW - HF72UBM

[@dereksheldon0356]

So often, when driving, you can tell that a particular driver must be using a phone because their driving is odd and generally poor. The worst thing is to see it in your rear-view mirror. You are then aware that you could be hit from behind when you brake. These people are a menace.

[@PedroConejo1939]

Easy catch. I had an R60/6 many years ago. The only motorbike I truly regret selling.

[@renbek100]

all the same incredible that despite all the warnings, the media road safety campaigns that people are still surprised that mobile phones are prohibited while driving.... Thank you for your work

[@bestbehave]

I love it when drivers bang on about the HWC when they're frothing over people on bikes, but clearly either haven't read it or choose to ignore themselves. HWC 149 explicitly states that you must not use your mobile or similar device when driving, including when stationary.

I find it more shocking that 75% of all homicides in the UK are committed by motorists driving dangerously compared to 0% by cyclists. You are three times more likely to be unlawfully killed by a dangerous driver than by any other means, but you won't be killed by an unlawful cyclist.

[@vfclists]

Interesting tidbit. Unlike drivers who are leaned back in their seat with the knees high with a steering wheel they can push their hands against, cyclist are leaning forward with their centre of gravity closer and higher above the handlebars, so it is less easy for them to braking. Braking hard means somersaulting over the bike, or with the bike if they are clipped in, so don't make silly comments about cyclists running amber lights.
