    it applies, just, running you off the road has no immediate consequences for said knob's reproductive success..
    now, said knob's driving may have immediate consequences for *your* reproductive success
    why do you think we're so paranoid about the dumb shit cagers pull.
    To be free is to accept the consequences of your acttions
    None so blind as will not see.

    Agreed. With the other side being that being aware of said knob in cage and realising that being right doesn't equal survival and that sometimes you are the one that has to stop even though you have legal right of way increases your chance of reproductive success.
    Survival also seems to height sexual desire so whilst the knob in the cage is snoring you are more likely to be practising.

    I do, if I don't concentrate hard I fall off loads. Actually I fall off loads anyway. Maybe I'm not concentrating hard enough.

    Just cos motorcycling improves my intelligence, doesn't mean it makes me smart. Just makes me not as dumb as I would be if I didn't do it.

    Really! When I stopped breeding, I found I became expandable
    Political correctness: a doctrine which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd from the clean end.
