You think that's balanced?
My thoughts exactly. I agree with the article and it's certainly not something you'd expect to see in the Mail but balanced it ain't.
It's not only imbalanced, but it's twisting statistics.
Cars kill more than bikes and trains. That's without any real analysis of the relative usage of these modes of transport or the the causes of the fatalaties.
Of course most motorists are not like Ms Way. Most have at least one or two brain cells in their heads.
Disparaging and sarcastic - just unwarranted.
Most of these dead people (killed by cars) were pedestrians or cyclists.
and some of those cyclists killed by cars were perhaps negligent and the car driver was perhaps at no fault. How many of the incidents where cyclists killed in collisions with cars end up with a prosecution against the car driver?
Cyclists, on the other hand, kill, on average, one or two people a year.
Shouldn't those cyclists that kill themselves through negligence be included?
I'm not anti-cycle. I'm anti irresponsible idiots on the road causing a danger to themselves and others, whether they are pedestrians, cyclists, motor bikers, car drivers, white van drivers, HGV drivers...
Driving around the Dales a few times in recent weeks, people using 2 wheeled forms of transport certainly seem more prone to risk taking than those on 4 wheels.

I'd actually forgotten about those two.
Hopefully they'll be less noise about this north of the border.
What's your bloody problem XRunner? I responded to you and challenged you to find one example of me being sexist. You didn't (couldn't) so I'd appreciate it if you put up or shut up. Preferably the latter.
You're the one throwing inaccurate accusations about, not me. I don't like sexist 'man-haters' so that automatically makes me sexist - not a very intelligent conclusion for you to make.
