Civil War

[rasto]

So from some recent (and not to recent) threads on here, it appears that:

• car drivers hate cyclists
• cyclists hate car drivers
• car drivers hate bikers
• bikers hate car drivers
• bkers hate cyclists
• cyclists hate bikers
• car drivers hate lorry drivers
• lorry drivers hate car drivers
• bikers hate bikers
• bikers hate lorry drivers
• lorry drivers hate bikers
• car drivers hate car drivers
• cyclists hate cyclists

....
Or to cut a long story short, everyone on the roads hates pretty much everyone else on the roads. I think we need to rationalise this and I propose a 'team' system where everyone should pick a team colour (red, green, blue and yellow) thus making it easier for other road users to detect your allegiance and take appropriate action There may be a few flaws in my plan , but I think it's worth a try. Any takers ?

Not at all, I based this on threads in here where posters were relating their own experiences - not links to media articles.

or to cut a long story even shorter, Londoners hate other Londoners.

None of these things happen outside the M25. So we'll just brick up the m25 and let you lot get on with it. Good news! Nobody from outside London using Heathrow. bad news! You keep all the politicians

Glad I'm not a Londoner then, but another interesting solution. Would probably end up a bit like Escape From New York

F you could produce a Venn diagram so I can work out what side I'm on, I'd be grateful

[rasto]

And the bikers hate bikers thing was prompted by a something that happened in Wales I believe, so we may need to brick up the border - could be seen as a bonus for people on either side I'm sure

I did think of doing one, but it got very complicated very quickly. Could probably simplify it into two intersecting circles, 'Road users' and 'other road users' with the intersection being 'intolerant or idiotic road users'

Once it's bricked up can we fill it with water or concrete

I'm not convinced the mode of transport makes any difference, it's just the proliferation of Coontatas is nearly complete in all areas.

Roads are just getting more crowded allowing more people with an opinion to bump into some else with another opinion and now we have the internet where they can bh about it.

You missed bus drivers and taxis..

i thought this was about the next Captain America film.... im disappointed

[KingNothing]

I'm a car driver, cyclist and a motorcyclist? Who do I hate? I'm assuming I have to hate myself.

[Patch1875]

What we've got here is failure to communicate.

Can you add

Car drivers hate horse riders


To your list ?
