    I go on the theory that everybody is out to get me. And ride accordingly.

    My thoughts exactly.
    "Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin (1706-90)

    "I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending to much liberty than those attending too small a degree of it." - Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826)

    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Glanz is a knob. (Pun intended)

    I don't usually do red rep, and I have never used the ignore function (I have one in my finger).
    Sometimes though I'm tempted...

    Fair enough. I do take things quite literally at times.

    I think if we all drive defensively we should be fine. Just got to be twice as aware on the roads. Stay safe out there everyone

    Heard someone say that those who learn to drive under the new rule won't have a problem with it. Hmmmm....

    In fact I'm really sorry with everything I wrote until now. I thought it was a biker's forum, but apparently it's full of fucking V8 cagers, and I didn't want to hurt your bored sensitivity. I will happily fuck off for sure and for good. Thanks for the world famous kiwi welcome.

    Cot rejects toys. Pffft!
    Anyway, the 'famous Kiwi welcome' is reserved for those that deserve it. Tossers like you (say you are) don't get a look in. I think you'll find that's the case the world over.

    We've had 30+ years/millions of people learning to drive under the right hand rule and how many of them couldn't do it right...
    Then again you were referring to the 'learn to drive' bit eh?
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?
