It's great and very much ahead of its time in the way it took the micky out of the English establishment and in its presentation of gay issues.

What on Earth are you talking about?
I take it you have backed off from your earlier statement or do you still hold to it?
Try to make sense next time.
No, I mean kill rate for the non occupants.
You changed your proposition. Specify what you mean by "never position yourself in the blind spots of large vehicles". I'm not clear on how anybody could avoid that. I don't ride up the left hand side of them but I could be behind one and not be visible in their mirror thusly I would be in a blind spot.I over take them on the right unless they are signalling to turn right.
Pavements and red lights I don't do unless you include using drop kerbs which let me get into my driveway as riding on the pavement. Why would I ride on the pavement? The road usually has a better surface. Why would I ride though a red light? I'd come off worse in a collision.
Have you checked the kill rates for cyclists and cars? Do you still stand by "Cyclists are all - without exception - the most dangerous road users."? Or does it look like a silly comment? You are really saying that 43 year old me on a Brompton riding to work is more dangerous than a beered up 17 year old with no insurance driving an Astra with more power going to the woofer than an African village uses in a year?
I ride a bike to work every day and I don't do any of the things you list.
Some cyclists do fit cams to record car driver behaviour. I don't as they usually fit on helmets and I have better things to spend the cash on.
Check the kill rates for cars and cyclists.
Review your comments.
A little like iTunes Genius feature?

I've got it on an SE/30 in the loft.
I'm currently using a Brompton for a 10 mile each way commute (Glasgow, Scotland). I have used it for 19 miles in the past. I have a couple of faster Bromptons now so I wouldn't mind doing that kind of distance again.
In the last three years I've only used the car once when I had to pick someone up from the airport after work.
England didn't conquer Scotland. They had no royalty left so James VI took over their crown in 1603. Then in 1707 they paid off our government to adjourn and move to London.
Both of these events had centenaries recently and neither was celebrated.
It's different in Scotland. They don't keep the fingerprint data if you are not convicted.
