Just as every cyclist skips
red lights, right?

I only speed to hit those cyclists who skip lights and ride on pavements

Ok so a very small percentage of people probably never go a mile over the limit
but I've never known anyone who can honestly say they've never broken the speed limit. Just like I've never seen any cyclists that stick to the red lights.

I will say that I don't speed in 30 zones because they're 30 for an important reason, but I rarely keep to 70 on the motorway.

When I cycle I obey traffic laws like a car
And get enraged when I see other cyclists break these laws.

me too
last time I cycled, three cyclists overtook me when I was waiting at a red light and one of them even told me to move. I was outraged. But I'm British so I said nothing and quietly fumed about it.

I've yelled at cyclists several times for such infractions
And honked my horn when they've done it when I'm in my car. Hear me RAWR!

Well, it is a Ka, not got the loudest of horns

You need a more manly car sir!
A Ka does not fit with the tattoos!

Quite a lot of 30s aren't 30 for any good reason these days.
Unfortunately.

I hate it when they stick a 40 zone for miles when there's nothing around.
Annoys me. The country lanes I used to live on were derestricted even though sheep and stuff could just wander out whenever they pleased, so it was up to your own common sense.

It was like that when I was down in Wales last week
60 zone, sheep all over the place. Bit terrifying.

sheep are scariest in the dark
because their eyes reflect green in the dark and they have creepy sideways pupils so they look like aliens.

I've watched one of the roads in Edinburgh go from 50 to 40 to 30
in the 5 years I've been here. It's a fucking dual carriageway. The only reason there are the odd pedestrian death on it is that some pedestrians are fucking retarded and try and run across rather than using crossings. It's Darwinian so stop bloody protecting them.

No they don't
and I don't skip red lights when I cycle, either.

I'll bet you treat red-lights as 'rest stops'
Allowing you to get your breath back.
