Ah, but the best way to kill someone is to run them over with a car!! Stab someone and you gan get several years in knick - run em over (especially if they're on a bike) and you're looking at a 12 month ban and a couple of grand fine!!
A 'habitual hazardous driver' who had a string of convictions for dangerous driving, no insurance, speeding etc. just got exactly that for killing a cyclist last year 100m from my front door!!!
When it's car vs bike - car will win - both physically and in a court of law. That's one of the main reasons why I cycle defensively.
So what if I slow you down for a couple of hundred meters? You are more than capable of putting your foot down and getting back up to speed quickly. If you happen to hit me on the way past you won't feel a thing!
Perhaps ALL road users (inc. tractors, horses, caravans, slow cars etc.) should show a little more tolerance, consideration and patience to each other? The roads were not designed specifically for the fast car driver (originally they were for horse and cart!)
