    Yeah well he is American. That however wasn't why I posted it - it was
    more the fact that at least someone was saying in a widely read forum
    "Oy cagers, have a bloody look around you drongoes" (or words to that
    effect :)

    .... but the fact that he can't fucking ride does tend to undermine
    his argument that it's someone elses fault for stopping in front
    of him ...

    For future reference, a quote from the start of the article
    mentioned above (by Tony Long for Wired):
    |
    | I was riding my motorcycle to work one morning a few months ago when the
    | car in front of me stopped. Cold. The woman behind the wheel had a phone
    | to her ear, but she also had the green light. There wasn't any traffic
    | to speak of and there was nobody in front of her. In other words, she
    | stopped for absolutely no reason at all (except, probably, for whatever
    | it was someone had just whispered into her shell-like ear).
    |
    | Although I was at the speed limit, her stopping was so completely
    | unexpected that I didn't have time to ride around her, which would have
    | been the usual evasion tactic. My choices: Dump the bike or visit her
    | back seat. I hit the brakes and down I went, ass over teakettle. I never
    | touched her.

    This reads like a test question. Identify three stupid statements
    in this article. Identify three unwise actions described in this
    article. What action on the riders part would have avoided all
    this unpleasantness entirely? Is the author just a whiney bitch?
    this article? (3+3+2+0(rhetorical question) marks)
