[Closed] GMTV = IDIOTS

hehe, your humour was obviously too dry for me 🙂

Does the 3rd party insurance via CTC cover for such incidents? I thought that was the reason why we took it out incase we had an accident involving a third party and had to pay.

is that the same as a table ender?

Of course LV want you to have bike insurance ,It would be them that that would be selling it

I thought a comment was required, doubt it'l be shared with the public but never mind...

In a time when our country is crippled by ill health, obesity and the entire world is fearing the consequences of pollution (I'm sure your show has knee-jerked in the past to sensationalise these issues), do you not feel a little bit stupid arguing such an idiotic case and the need to invent useless statistics?

It's GMTV, therefore the only people who see it will be students and the long-term unemployed.

it's the tv / media equivalent of trolling, certain to get attention. it's easier to knock riders than drivers so they go ahead and do it.

ignore it, it's just the same old one sided shite that's only believed by halfwits and there's nothing the car lobby groups or anyone else can do to prevent bikes replacing cars more and more as the years go by.

it's our future, not theirs.

Yes it's trolling but much more of this and it won't just be the halfwits that believe it. Most people don't see cyclists 6 inches from their nearside front wing but they'll remember every one they ever see jump a light, seeing similar stuff reported in mainstream media (it's on the telly/radio/paper so it must be true) soon enough it's common knowledge all cyclists are inconsiderate, evil, arrogant gits.

Oh and a bike test? OK, I did one years ago at school but I'll take a refresher, and one every 5 or 10 years if you want as long as you do the same for car drivers too.

I did my cycling proficiency when I was 10. Based on how drivers are treated, I'll need an eye test* in 2030.

*Reading a registration plate at 20 metres, or whatever it is. Scarily, at the motorshow, something like 1 in 4 drivers tested failed this test.
