Most of em refer to themselves as drivers though.
Talk about calling a spade an earth inverting implement.
Indeed, though some clients prefer chauffeur. I myself am a 'man'.

How did you leave "road tax" off the list? I'm glad to see Andy wasn't so careless; it's right there in paragraph 5.

Andy's hands are registered lethal weapons. He did four years in the SAS but left because the balaclava made him itchy. He's like the bloke off Taken but more shoot.

He's harder than Liam Nelson?! (takes a respectful step backwards...)
more equally selective quotes from the same article:
From both an environmental and health prospective, cycling should be encouraged and the sight of hundreds of people cycling to work in our major cities each day is undoubtedly a positive one.
The majority of cyclists of course ride responsibly and my faith is sometimes restored with a friendly wave of acknowledgement or thanks when you give way to them or allow them the space you should.
Yes, cycling in London or any major city is extremely dangerous and I applaud anything that makes it safer.
If drivers are at fault when they kill or injure cyclists then they should quite obviously be at the full mercy of the law, but don’t tarnish us all with the same brush and cyclists shouldn’t think that they’re completely devoid of any responsibility as road users, as they have to be prepared to play by the rules as well!

I believe the SAS ask you to leave it you are too hard for them.

Rubbish drivers like Andy Dubberley love to pretend that cycling in London is "Extremely dangerous" because it's a useful fallacious statement that provides a built-in alibi. It's safer to cycle than walk in the capital, but it suits Andy's purpose to lie about this because he's then got an excuse when he hits a cyclist.

I bet Andy Dubberley is a hell of a lot better at driving around London than you or most of your militant pals. You wouldn't type that ignorant twaddle if you had ever experienced the stress of driving for and minding an African or Arab family, worrying about finding safe places to park, wait and pick up while dealing with the capricious whims of a bunch of millionaires. Cycling around any big city is dangerous; any half-wit can see that soft unprotected bodies do not mix well with motorised road traffic.
I'm constantly amazed at the recklessness of a small minority of cyclists I see cruising around the streets as if the law doesn't apply to them; they have an air of insouciance towards the rules that the majority follow because the majority understand that the rules are there for public safety and grown-up social cooperation. Their behaviour is conceited, selfish and egotistical in the extreme

Why did you mention your passengers' race? Are Africans especially problematic for you?
It doesn't have to be an either/or question. Both co-habitate perfectly well in many cities around the world.

You could paint it with an oxidising agent.

Africa is a big continent, from where Africans come. It's just to the left of the Middle East, sometimes known as Arabia, from where Arabs come.

its the intensive training chauffeurs go through that teaches them about how people who own a bicycle are exempt from all taxes.

300km a week through London on a road bike.
This is just the same as saying:
So what's your point?
