Moron also is a type of Olive and a city in Argentina, anyway, a lot of motorists seem to underestimate how quick a bike is in traffic.
The mind of a moton; how does it work, if at all?

Moron is also Welsh for carrot.
Maybe I should start taking it personally...

I love when they push past, and then lose all the time they've 'saved'. We had one the other day, swooshed past our electric truck just before a junction, and then had to cut in violently and stop suddenly because they'd reached the junction on a red light.
They'd stopped so late, they were well into the ASL, and actually past the traffic light post on the pavement to the left. The post that carries the straight on filter arrow to tell them to go, some 30 seconds before the whole phase goes green. So they couldn't see it, and sat there, oblivious until the whole set went green.
We did laugh. Mind you, it's easy in a metal box, to laugh when they misjudge overtaking before a pinch point, and have to brake hard and drop back. But you just know, if they'd done it to a cyclist, they'd most probably swerve into them instead.

Accident is not factual. Cager is. Moton sometimes is, if the driver is both motorist and moron.
Reminds me of an incident I had going in to Windsor a year or so back, when a woman wound down the window of her Mini to shout "I've had to overtake you 5 times."
She was not expecting me to reply with "That's ok, I've had to pass you 5 times too."

This reply has been in my memory bank for a while now ready to be used.

I work with children with learning difficulties, many of whom in days gone by would have come under the medical use of the terms here described. They often call each other by these names just as children in any playground would do, without realising what the words mean. It's an interesting dilemma, they might be right but they still 'shouldn't' be using the terms.

I dont care if its factual ...calling someone Black can be factual.
It creates boundaries and is detremental.
Frankly I'm surprised with all the effort you put in to remove boundaries between drivers and riders, that you defend it.

I too maintained my cool today. Approaching a red light, I bypassed it by going up onto the pavement/cycling lane and rejoining the road 30 yards on. Some loon in a mondeo shouted 'Red means stop' as he passed me. I just couldn't be arsed to even try to educate this obviously retarded inbred piece of scum. It would have been a waste of my superior brain power!
This was one of my little incidents that brightened my ride yesterday. Why be so impatient that you clearly break the law for no gain. The Homer Simpsonish number plate says it all: DOH
