Dispatch riders
Did anyone see this on the TV last night? 
Not sure what the programme was called as I walked in after it had started, but these loonies on cycles and motorbikes were completely mad.
They seemed to think that the road belonged to them and that everyone else was a complete w****r for daring to get in the way
Speed limits? what are those?
I guess those of you that live in London are used to this, but us country folk try to give way to pedestrians, not run them over

Yet another great evolutionary leap forward for London, the finest ways to exercise selfish behaviour in the name of capitalist progress.........

I've done that a couple of times and just about ALL DRs do adhere to the rules of the road regarding peds. etc. If they don't they tend to come a cropper and as they get paid by the job if they're off they starve. Simple really. Admittedly there are a few loonies but they don't last long .....
Didn't see the prog. myself but I'm guessing they managed to just put the 'interesting incidents' and 'sensational comments' on it ....
But i do agree about cycle couriers - I've come across them cycling the wrong way up one -way streets. And when you stopped at a zebra crossing and their are peds on it they just sail right through ....
Rant over ...
