C4's WVM documentary.

[Headgardener]

C4 are doing a documentary on the bane of cyclists everywhere the "white van man" and looking at the trailers they look a right bunch of cowboys. I wonder if the prog makers will give the police any footage of dangerous or illegal driving? Some how I don't think so.

Most van drivers are fine here. Will prolly watch it though.

Saw a thing online that said 1/3rd of van drivers are women. That should make you think.

The WVM (or WVW) seems to be a fickle breed ...

When I am driving, they do their best to try and turn my car into an insurance write-off.
When I am cycling, they do their best to try and kill me.
When I am on my motorbike, they are as good as gold! They're often the ones that will pull to one side to let me filter or overtake!

its simple, they don't understand how you can master that two wheeled beast and so they get out of the way asif you were mounted on the back of a dragon.

More likely that they reckon a motorcyclist could duff them up, I bet.

Saying that I met a nice WVM today very patient.

Yes it's the Hells Angel image. If only cyclists could achieve that sort of reputation!

Unfortunately I think cycling in leathers and a m/cycle helmet might reduce my range and speed rather drastically.
