I think there must have been some motorcyclists, or at lest supporters, in the survey. Because of the 'don't give way to cyclists and motorcyclists" bit. No non motorcyclist would think to include motorcyclists in that. So those who did, must be riders or supporters.

Exactly so. Here is an opportunity for vehchle drivers to have an [independant] say about what's on their mind. If the actions of bikers has irritated/angered some of the populace. Contrary to a load of hand-wringing by katman, the sky is (in fact) not falling.
I'm sure he will be stroking his cause in public again soon though.

I work in the AA building (not for AA) and I quite often see a little orange scooter parked in his park. Makes me laugh everytime.
Watch out for tow ropes and quickly braking cars

In life there are three things you can rely on - Death, Taxes, and Katman.
Wearing Hi-Viz Black.
Nope, only two.
Death and nurses.

Arr and what a wonderful group the AA members are, lets see what they admitted to only last month.
Ah Yes, 32% of men and 24% of women admitted to driving when they were probably over the drink drive limit, 10%M ansd 9%F said it was OK if they felt capable. They also admitted to altering their driving route to avoid breathalyse testing.
24% of males and 16% of females admitted to breaking the speed limit 'most of the time'.
Are the AA members for real?

Double shot!!
No, the main problem is drivers getting frustrated about nothing.
Think about it for a bit ;
So what if someone takes their spot? How much longer does it add to their trip time?
So what if someone cuts off another vehicle - how does it affect them?
Re-read the whole article from this perspective, and you begin to see the real problem - car drivers projecting their anger onto everyone else, and organisations like AA feeding the process.
The real solution is more like, people have to quit getting so wound up about things that DON'T ACTUALLY AFFECT THEM, but no one wants to hear this.

I know when I'm driving with my daughters and a car pulls into the gap I've safely left between me and the next vehicle as we're slowing for an intersection and I have to take action to avoid a crash, that fucks me off and affects me and my daughters safety. That's where the 'me first' attitude affects me.

WHEN will they understand that this is a SAFETY measure, if they don't see you coming at least they'll smell you!
Intimidating look: check.
Loud pipes: check.
Keep your distance smell: double check!
