I agree. If you carry a rifle you need a licence so I don’t understand why you don’t need in for a water pistol. It’s ridiculous!

In the uk, 98% of bike/car collisions are the fault of the driver. Why do you want to waste time on the 2%?

Then you’re a hypocrite. Complaining about people taking up space when you take more than double what you need to.

If you’re out on a ride and need to warm up quickly and crack on, I can recommend an argument with a taxi driver 10 minutes in. Body flooded with adrenaline, HR shot up to Zone 5 and took 15km to come back down to Z2 again.

You might want to re-write your post as it directly contradicts the quoted headline.

Make sure to get off your bike, stand at the side of the road and doff your cap to car drivers.

Would you like to compare how much space is taken up by one person on a bike and one person in an F150?

So when I see social media comments of “well the kid shouldn’t have run out” or “that’s a stupid place to cross the road”, I just think “yep. Wait until you’re sitting in the High Court and tell the judge that”. Except they won’t have to because their insurers will settle long before it gets there.

I worked in claims for 5 years and I heard of one occasion where our driver wasn’t at fault in a collision with a pedestrian. It was big news. We dealt with 100s of thousands of claims every year and it was the one time it happened.

Rich @rich531forever.bsky.social · 10/10/2026
Exactly this and the same in the UK. I worked for a motor insurance company in claims and it’s incredibly difficult to find a ped or cyclist at fault.

On one of my Saabs, the speedo goes up to 160mph, but the gaps between the speeds is bigger between 0-100 than between 100-160. It makes it easier to read at the speeds where you need to see the difference.

It’s not never their fault. 2% of the time it’s the cyclist’s fault.

98% of bike/car collisions are the fault of the driver. If a driver didn’t see you, regardless of what you’re wearing, it’s because they didn’t look properly.

Cyclists make better motorbikers and doing either makes you a better car driver.

Lights for sure. The article didn’t refer to lights and they’re a legal requirement anyway. What it’s looking at is that a hi-viz vest doesn’t reduce the risk of a driver crashing into you.
