    Particularly enjoyed the "Seventy-seven per cent of motorists try to 'drive green' by not revving the engine and braking smoothly" bit. Who says people lie in surveys?

    I also fail to believe that only "37 per cent of men think they are better drivers than women"

    No it's London drivers - they save their worst driving for their trips up the A12 of a weekend

    Can guarantee you there are numerically more bad drivers in London than St Kilda.

    Now the driver this evening who I was following who signalled right in the left hand lane at a circle and promptly went straight on, followed by doing exactly the same at the next one except they turned right. Grrrrrr.

    Luckily I had from their driving on the section between the 2 circles determined that there was no point having any confidence in their road placement, indicating and driving in general, I didn't bash on at the 2nd circle and turn right from the right hand lane, but in stead held back and when saw they were turning right went straight on.

    </rant over>

    Oh yeah I was driving not on the bike, but I probably could have kept up with them on the bike too.
