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.

That is because most bike accidents was the car not paying enough attention. Sure we filter through traffic, so would car drivers if they could, and sure we dont really stick to the speed limits and neither do cars, the main reason a biker is knocked off is normally both their faults. i.e. filtering is illegal, so is pulling out all of a sudden with no indicators, or opening doors without even looking.
All i can say is, all you car drivers, get on a motorbike go ride around in london somewhere, ride normally in the centre of the lane and to the speed limit, and i bet you you wont get through london without having to brake sharp is swerve out the way because a car (as they asways say) "i didnt see you". Why is that i wonder.
