"You shouldn't brake hard like that! I nearly ran into the back of you because you don't have brake lights". This was said by a motorist to a cyclist after they did an emergency stop with good reason.

Ha! I've seen a video where an Aston Martin driver says that to a cyclist who stops at a red in front of him. Almost as funny as the woman in Mikey's vid who said 'I had to break the speed limit to overtake you as you were going about 30mph.'

I had an idiot run in the the back of me last week in his ford KA. I got out and asked him if he knew where his brake pedal was as I managed to use mine. If I'd have been on the bike, I'd have ended up on the floor.

And a pedal bike can out brake a modern car with ABS and brake assist.

The only way to be absolutely sure is to re-educate every single one of the bastards.

Take off and nuke the buggers from orbit.
It's the only way to be sure.

no but when someone is too close our brains can out-perform the driver behind.

very much like the argument "you were in the middle of the road"
usually elicits the response "Yes, Yes i was"
