Charming.

His determination to blame the motorist, and to come up with the most ridiculous contortions in order to do so, knows no bounds. Just look at his wriggling in the "Whose Fault?" thread (which was designed to show that even when a cyclist is quite clearly at fault in a cyclist/motorist collision, the psycholists will *still* find an excuse to blame the driver, since what they really think is that the driver shouldn't be driving at all and is automatically always at fault because they're in a "speeding ton of metal").
