Yes, I think this shows how much Chapman and his ilk really care about road deaths. They only claim to care about them when it suits their anti-car/pro-psycholist/anti-helmet agenda.

After all, we're talking about the Guy who advises everyone (children included) not to wear helmets despite knowing that they improve safety (because why else would he wear one himself, and advise his own children to do the same?) If you give someone deliberately bad road safety advice then it's unlikely that you care what happens to them.
