i think if vans and bike riders could have a beter relationship there would be less trouble on roads , i am a motorbike rider so therefore use my mirrors, but cyclists need to try and realise we dont have as much control over a 2 ton van as 150kg bike and rider. motorbikes have power to get out of trouble. not a harsh post just think if there was a theory test for cyclists then drivers be able avoid unforseen colloisions. . i would love to ride a bike to work but my job does not permit it.

you cant insurance company deals with it , what a buma but had protected no claims bonus,

i hit another car at a set of lights at 5mph and my insurance sent me a letter recently apperantly paying out the driver ?7000, , how??

i think last time i got a bus was 15 years ago and was 50p dont envy your travel journeys one bit, no one has any manners on public transport including drivers!

so you are on public transport?

you are exactly right

sometimes , a new bmw alloy is around ?400 , the point i was making is the amount we contribute to drive the cars we own we should be able to drive on decent roads you know.

well there was a big bmw alloy debate as they kept cracking due to the road surfaces, i doubt that any insurance company would help at all, shame as im sure the revenue involved in insurance premiums is massive!

the reairs never last though , insurance for damage to alloys etc. .i drive around the area from job to job and finding that the roads are getting bad

just wondering why when we pay so much to tax, mot and insurance on our cars/vans that we cannot drive on the roads without having to dodge massive potholes??? i know theres been alot of rain latley but every year they get worse and every year we pay more tax etc. surely the roads should be smooth and not dangerous. gary

as far as i know only new builds are required to fit mains operated fire/smoke detectors, but old conversions are not. its not an expensive outlay though and if anyone needs a number of an electrician to fit them i have it. pm me gary
