The dumb drivers are still out there

Coming up Clayton Road a motorbike roared past me.

I wish it would have been legal for me to swerve in front of him and clean him up as he was trying to overtake.

"Oh sorry officer, I didn't see him there. I hardly expect to be overtaken when I'm travelling at the speed limit on a ONE LANE ROAD!"

Nice T-bone collision on the corner of Guildford and King William. Looks like a case of someone going straight ahead and someone turning right and at least one party not looking.

My brother's best friend died because a car turned in front of him. Another friend who was in a coma for 2 days because a semi-trailer ran a red light (minor scratching only) Both bikes were crumpled wrecks. I've had the front wheel of my bicycle driven over once and almost squished by ignorant blind drivers countless times.
Treating every other vehicle on the road as if it is being a blind stupid idiot is not how I want to be on the roads and yet on/in a non-car, it is the only way to survive.

I feel much the same. Even the stupid people I've had almost crunch me, I'd not want to drive over. I wanted a paintball gun to leave tags on their cars. Big red splotches that say 'I'm a stupid driver'
