You appear very angry in your posts - swearing etc. I hope you're OK - don't let the internet stress you out too much!

If you weren't a vandal and hadn't smashed that wing mirror off you could have used it to see who the real hypocrites are.
In my example I break the law specifically to improve safety for me and convenience for motorists (Whereas I suspect that when most motorists break the law it is primarily for selfish reasons rather than safety or other road user's convenience).

And unlike the examples of people parking on the pavement, on the rare occasions I encounter a pedestrian I just stop and move my bike to one side so the pedestrian isn't inconvenienced.

So what's the problem?

So those motorists should have parked further away in a legal car park to avoid breaking the law and walked back increasing their journey times buy a few minutes. Mave on the other hand doesn't have to obey the law and is quite within his rights to cycle on the path so not to increase his journey time by a few minutes..

If you weren't a vandal and hadn't smashed that wing mirror off you could have used it to see who the real hypocrites are.
Again. No vandalism took place. I made up a silly rhyme. No fktards had their cars damaged. Leastways not by me, anyway.

And I STRONGLY disagree with you on who the REAL hypocrites are.

That honour goes to drivers who foam and froth about cyclists, telling said cyclists to "get off the roads - you don't even pay for them" then telling those cyclists that riding on "shared use paths" is "dangerous". That's true hypocrisy right there. Wanting it to work in your favour both ways.

Now run along and let us all know if it's possible to eat your cake but then still have it...

Truly couldn't make this bks up... rolleyes

I fully accept your entirely logical stance on the issue, but I'm afraid I'm not responsible for the common usage of "Clam up".
