SMIDSY = "Sorry mate I didn't see you"

The war cry of shit drivers and people who have had 11 points on there licence and think hitting a bike with a truck is an innocent mistake

Usually it refers to somebody pulling out on a bike when the bike has right of way

Glad to hear you managed to get out of the idiot's way in one piece Zed

That'll be me.
The eleven points was a long time ago and I am happy to report that I have learned from my mistakes and am now an excellent driver.
The phrase I used was "simple human error" I made no reference to whether it was innocent or otherwise.
As is usual, you seem to be twisting my words and having a snide little personal dig at me.
Pity you can't be more up front about it.

Sorry about that, I'll change it immediately:

"shit drivers and people who have had eleven points and think hitting a bike with a truck is no more than a simple human error, particularly ones that call me a hypocrit and are named GN2"

If it wasn't up front the first time how come you recognised yourself?
Now change "as usual...having a snide little personal dig at me" to "always reacts to my insults by insulting me back" and I'd say we were square and can let it go at that.

Nope, you hadn't posted in this thread until after my post, ergo my "hypocrite" comment was not aimed at you.

It wasn't up front at all, you said "people" (plural) in an attempt to obfuscate your snidey little personal attack on me (singular).

Have I ever insulted you?
Links?

Now now, GN2 & Bluebottle... Stop bickering lads.
Shake hands and make up like proper Muppets. (Or I'll knock your helmets together!)

I hope that's the end of it.

Otherwise the thread gets locked.

I have objections.

I find your objections objectionable and anyone with less than 11 points who hasn't knocked down at least 3 pedestrians/cyclists/bikers while drunk driving an HGV full of HiViz vests is a knobber
