Excellent, PKB.

And it's no surprise that you've chosen to believe what the cyclists say. It's almost as if you have a prejudice against motorists.

Now imagine if it was the other way round, and motorists had complained about police discrimination instead. Would you have taken them at all seriously? Your anti-motorist bias is there for all to see, and if you're genuinely not aware of it (which is doubtful), it's high time you were enlightened.

If militants like you would just give motorists the same respect as you do other cyclists, you'd quickly find that all types of road users would get on just fine (in general). But you don't want that, do you? You'd rather (some) motorists and cyclists hated each other, even if it makes things more dangerous for everyone (including you). It's so very silly and unnecessary.
