But exactly the same applies to car drivers; the majority are safe and consider other people. You also have to consider that an idiot behind the wheel of a car is going to be more obvious than an idiot behind the bars of a bike purely due to the size of the vehicle. You don't agree and that is fair enough but I have been driving for 17 years and in my experience the ratio of idiotic bike riders is no better than car drivers. My beef is that bike riders seem to think blaming all their problems and bad habits on 'metal box' drivers is an ok thing to do. Well, whatever makes them feel better but it shouldn't fool anyone who has been on the road for more than a few years.
