What the problem we are not in the top 10.

We don't drive Range Rovers.
D3 are not just 4x4's
Unless yours is Red or Black we are not in the list. Whistle

United Kingdom 2006 Discovery 3 TDV6 SE Auto Tonga Green

I don't go on the roads much, spend most days on the mountain bike tracks.

Then occasionally I leave the D3 at home and go out on my bike Whistle

United Kingdom 2005 Discovery 3 TDV6 S Manual Zermatt Silver

Quick, very unscientific and uncontrolled, poll of three cyclists at one place I work:
Most hated, 100% of the poll - Silver BMW drivers
Next most hated (equal), white vans, busses, motorbikes


Why?
Boss drives a silver BMW,
And the rest have all knocked one of the cyclists off and landed him in hospital

Silver rools OK

"Four in five of the 2,000 cyclists surveyed said they felt vulnerable and in danger when riding on the road, and 68pc often resorted to riding on the pavements to avoid bad drivers."

So its quite OK for them to flaut the law and ride on the pavement and run the risk of riding into people!

I hate dring round London, because of those bloody currier bicycles, the amount of times they just ride in front of you cutting accross your bows and its always your fault as they stick fingers up at you!

I ride a bike, but im always carefull of my surroundings, its not just the elledged 4x4/Range Rovers to what out for ...It can be anyone driving or riding anything!

Mind I did run an american tourist over once in central london, he went to cross the road and looked the wrong way and walked out.....thump....thank fully I was only doing about 15mph, he just got up waved and carried on, two coppers saw what happened, turned the other way and Censored off quickly!
