That’s like saying shooting deaths are the result of people not learning how to avoid bullets.
What a ludicrous analogy. So I take it that when a car collides with a truck, since the car is much smaller and generally it's the car's occupants that get hurt, then it's always the truck driver's fault?

The people that really drive me to distraction are the drivers with headphones on.

Missed the stop at Playful Sexy and was forced to get off the Creepy Junction.

Yeah, except, I don't know. Does it? Because it's the same law in Italy and we have shocking statistics on cycling injury and death. I'd say it's more a cultural issue than a legislation issue.

I have yet to hear of a cyclist killing a car driver, so let’s drop the false equivalence shall we.
Yes, although it's not as if drivers who escape unharmed don't suffer consequences. I saw a cyclist die on the road in front of my eyes once, and the fault lay entirely with him - he literally swerved in front of a car to his left in the middle lane of a busy overpass. However I am sure that the driver would have been tried for manslaughter, simply because the blame back home (not sure of the extent that it may differ here) lies always with the motorist unless proven otherwise.

Road tax is meant to capture damage to the road.
You could also make the point that many roads were originally built for horse and carriage combos and people on foot, and that includes the vast majority of street roads that are now the god-given domain of cars.

I have seen drivers without either hand on the wheel all too often. (what are those dicks steering with?)
Asked, and answered.

Also celery is one of those useful things to grow and chop off individual stalks and have the rest go off in your fridge.
Yes, that's an excellent suggestion. I dream to live in a world where celery can be purchased in smaller quantities.

I'm 39, and I don't mean to brag but my garden full of prize-winning weeds speaks for itself.

I've got nothing against Tux Wonder Dogs per se. But if you're talking about Jim Mora as a journalist and host of a prominent show of cultural and political commentary, and you praise him for his work on a show about dogs, well...
