I know it is a bit off topic, but has that tactic ever proved successful in reducing a payout?

No.

Apparently something like 80% (or was it 90%, I can't remember) of drivers in a survey thought their driving was above average....

I'm still learning w.r.t. to cycling safely - the two worst near misses I've had have been my fault... :sad:

That is mathematically possible if the other 10 - 20% are truly abysmal.

At least you can acknowledge they were your fault and learn from them...Im sure everyone has made mistakes apart from BentMikey that is.:whistle:

I know I have...or poor positioning,going too fast or not reading ahead well enough.



I think thinking like this can lead you into a false sense of security.How about having a survey like that on here?

I can't judge myself I'd need some sort of cycling instructor to assess me.I bet he would find faults definitely.

I don't get this entire thread - but maybe that's because I'm thick.:wacko:

Mag's mate (called "auld reekie") thought too many people sided with his interpretation of the events in his vids (Mags = good/right, Drivers = bad/wrong). In a dazzling thought experiment he put this to the test i.e to see if people on CC would blame the drivers and absolve Magnatom of blame/responsibilty for riding in a manner that would likely contribute to a collision or make the consequnces of a collision more severe. Some poster(s), MacB for example, think this is horseshit unconvincing back engineering.

Back engineering? What? So folk think I will make up some sort of story to try and cover my own ar$e? I'm not even sure what I would be trying to cover up, or back engineer?

How many folk on here have been more than happy to post their own mistakes and own up to them on numerous occasions in the past, allowing their cycling to be scrutinised in minute detail, where people argue over a cm here or there? Have folk not noticed that that is what I do? and then suggest that I am making up some story to, I can only assume, save face?

Sheesh. :wacko:

Well I blamed the Sun - not the drivers or Mag. So maybe I am as bright as the afore mentioned sun after all.:sun:
