I do. Cyclists who think it's somehow "cool" not to have lights even installed, yet alone on, are bloody idiots, and all too prevalent.

Oh, I should have known that the co-chief motorist-hater would be complaining about a driver, rather than a cyclist. If a cyclist does something wrong, Chapman just shrugs and thinks "Using a legitimate mode of transport means you can 'bend the rules a little'". But if a motorist does *anything* slightly wrong, or even nothing at all, Chapman can't wait to come onto his favourite anti-motorist newsgroup and bellyache about it. (Although it seems that even his fellow motorist-haters on here have got bored of his oh-so-predictable and falsehood-ridden bollocks....)

Of course, the "Using a legitimate mode of transport means you can 'bend the rules a little'" crap only encourages the buffoon cyclists who don't use lights. It's yet another thing which shows just how little the motorist-haters really care about people's safety. They want motorists to be heavily penalised for everything, no matter how innocuous, and they want "legitimate" road users to be penalised for nothing, no matter how much danger they place themselves and/or others in. They want laws and sentences to be based not on the severity of the offence, but on whether the person committing the offence is using the "right" mode of transport. The evidence is littered all over their deranged, screeching posts.
