Yes, I imagine Lukesdad didn't like it because of the large element of truth in your edit.

Not talking directly yet then Mikey

Do they get a reduction in their premiums for using one ?

It is possible but probably not, I have "heard" of some companies getting reduced insurance premiums because they fitted cameras to their company vehicles.

As far as I can tell they just became fed up of the sh1t driving they see and the complete lack of traffic police on the roads.

I did think having such a wibble over such a minor incident was a bit out of character for you. Don't tell me, you have a camera channel about filming forum activity?

Ha ha now that would be a good use for a camera This is what he does while posting this crap ! I like it.

Messing about with people s posts is something I dislike. Unlike Camsters who I love really

Fair enough, I'll try to remember that about you and not wind you up unintentionally.

btw, I did think MrHappy's edit was fair and open, as he made it obvious that he'd FTFY'd it, and put the change in bold.

 

[lukesdad]

I dont mind a wind up as you well know. FTFY is a lazy way to make a point as you also well know.

 

[BentMikey]

I know you don't like FTFY, but I think it's often funny and/or appropriate. Sometimes it's done badly, sure.

So some 'cyclists' are videoing their rides in case something happens - just like I wear clean underwear every day; I may get knocked down by a bus and do not want A&E staff to see I am wearing dirty underwear!

A bit of topic, but if I got knocked down by a bus wearing clean underwear, it wouldn't be when clean when the A&E staff see it.

A question for all of you who post 'incident videos' - a very small percentage of people on this site - do you suffer the same 'fate' when walking in a busy street or supermarket?

What a ridiculous parallel to draw.

Do any of you 'cyclists' have a God given right to maintain speed and course on the Queen's Highway? Some of the overtake videos I have watched are so 'close' that the 'cyclist' had neither altered speed, applied brakes nor deviated from their course - if you were that concerned then you would do any of all of them but you do not - why?

How would you know whether they applied brakes?
Without seeing the wheels, how would you know whether they deviated from their course?
I put it to you that you have no basis at all for these assertions. If you believe otherwise, then show the evidence that supports your claims and explain your reasoning.

'FTFY' as a concept is a part of the internet and is here to stay. People aren't going to stop using it just because you say you don't like it.

 

[MrHappyCyclist]

OK, for goodness sake! I've edited it now to make exactly the same point in a different way. My quote of lukesdad's post is now identical to the original. Stop arguing about arguing about arguing!

No, but as every mother knows, A&E staff have personnel trained to take your underwear and analyse the contents. They are perfectly capable of differentiating between pre-and post-incident skidmarks and nutty slack. They also have a comprehensive communication system to inform others, in pantomime whispers, about their findings.

What was a bus doing wearing underwear?

I suppose that if it had slammed the anchors on before it knocked you down, it may have left skidmarks...

(I'll get my coat)

FTFY.

You, sir, are a legend!

I can't be the only one who wants to ride around with the OP, never experiencing any trouble on the roads. Must be lovely.

(In fact, although I only do half the distance in a motor that he does, I'd also settle for having him around in the car, for the same reason!)
