For values of "no" that equal "yes". Since the beginning of time Chapman has fought tooth and nail to censor his opponents, especially when he knows they're right.

Even for Chapman, the hypocrisy that he has displayed in this thread is unbelievable. He is the very definition of an anti-car zealot, and you can bet that if the authorities started systematically letting motorists off speed camera fines, he'd be the first to complain.

He quite clearly believes that road "safety" enforcement should be used as a way of encouraging modal shift, by being extremely soft on "good" road users (cyclists), and ridiculously harsh towards "bad" ones (motorists). The trouble is that distorting road safety priorities in such a way costs lives, not that Chapman cares as long as motorists are being made to suffer. Bastard.
