Spindrift is the troll, or one of them. Perhaps you are as well.

And I assume from your unwillingness to answer the question that you don't believe Spindrift's assertion that he never speeds. If you did believe him, you would be happy to say so, since you're "always on the side of the cyclist" (nice that you're setting one group of road users against another like that; Spindrift the motorist-hater would be proud of you).
