I don't notice you complaining much when Spindrift automatically blames the motorist, as he does whenever he comments on an incident between a motorist and a "legitimate" road user (and he failed to point out a contradictory example to this when challenged about it recently).

Maybe if you and others didn't have such double standards (e.g. "speculating about accidents with inadequate information is OK as long as it's not done against cyclists", "nym-shifting is OK as long as it's not 'the trolls' who do it", etc), this group wouldn't have gone down the plug'ole in the first place.
