So, your point?

You KNOW that cyclists jump red lights far more often than motorists. Why do you always sweep such facts under the carpet? Oh yeah, because you hate motorists, and you hate motorists simply because you can't be one anymore.

"If I can't have something, no-one can." That's the pathologically spiteful way that Duhg the Holocaust Denier views the world.

Like Glug, his sole saving grace is that he admits to hating motorists. That's one more saving grace than the liar Chapman and the mentalist Spindrift, who both *still* keep up their farcical "I don't have a problem with motorists" nonsense. I'm still trying to work out just who they think they're fooling.
