SMIDSY - is there such a thing?

You don't have to own the problem to be safer.

Everyone blames everyone else for the problem, but basically it doesn't matter whose fault the problem is, it's the biker who comes off worst.

Own the solution. Ride defensively.

And demand that others stop placing us at risk through their actions; thereby reducing the risk of motorcycling. If cyclists can do it, why can't we?

This is going in circles....
We must be responsible for our own safety. But we also have the right to call for improvements in the shocking driving standards in this country.
N'est pas?

...because we don't wear lycra

This sums it up fine for me.

Ditto. I have a few weeks of time having just handed in my thesis, so will be looking at how we can lobby for these things
