Ryan..another presumption that I am arguing on the basis of anecdotes and not evidence, worng! Since you can't watch my lips please re-read my posts! I have stated that I am in the main a pedestrian, a senior pedestrian I now choose to add, exception being when I ride public transportation vehicles. I was struck by a cyclist on a pedestrian cross walk, one who in an effort to avoid stopping for a red light wheeled on to the green and a collided with me as "I" was obeying the law. That's evidence! I had a plate installed to the bone in my left arm which was broken in three places. That evidence! Citizens noticing my arm-sling enquire and being informed of my plight, in many cases related similar accidents. That could be anecdote! The Police investigating off-handidly remark that the incident is not uncommon. That could be anecdote! The cyclist, concerned more about his machine and getting to work, than his concern for me, that's evidence! His violater's fine. That's evidence! So pray, I am one guy who pays a lot of attention to traffic and the misbehaviour of drivers, whether behind a wheel or a handlebar so please do not patronize me. I sort of half promised myself not to offend jason and say holier than thou, oops..!
