Nah, I don't insure my car so shouldn't imagine why i'd have personal insurance. Other drivers tend to be at fault first and foremost.

Cracking a solo.
Saw somebody in front of me on the cycle path last night, I don't know if he had head phones or not, he just got further and further away from me despite all my very best efforts to catch him up.
BTW, I think you should have been more careful/observant too, I find quite regularly with joggers I'll slow right down, give them a shout of to your left/right but when I get level they frequently leap in the air in terror (I hope it's my presence and not my appearance that causes this) as they had no idea I was there. It is, as you may expect, the lone females that jump the highest.

This I can accept; generally I do slow down for joggers/dog-walkers etc, but in this instance thought it was safe to overtake the cyclist. Even with slowing down for the overtake i was probably travelling too fast - lesson learned. It was a misread, but everyone was fine (except my handlebars which needed readjusting!).

Where is misterpaul when we need him ?
Apparently sarcasm doesn't travel too well via the medium of text... but yes, this was a windup.

Good stuff. I don't mind people carrying knuckledusters, as long as they insure their cars...

This is why I don't use cycle paths. I've not seen a cycle path yet where I would consider 20mph to be a reasonable speed to be travelling at. I personally think you should be on the road when you want to do that kind of speed.

If you were a cyclist overtaken by a car driver who clipped you because you had "just wobbled" would you feel aggreived?
It doesn't matter if an overtaking cyclist used a bell, shouted or fired off an Airzound as they approached and passed another cyclist or pedestrian. They still need to pass with care. There is no justification or mitigation for barging past on a narrow lane/path/road at speed just because an audible warning was given IMO.
