I heard txting while driving is 4 times more likely to cause an accident than drink driving. :eek:

Agreed completely,

and I'd ad option (d) above to state "yourself for not noticing the driver acting erratically or inappropriately and taking avoiding action"

in which case the answer remains (c) all of the options.

I'll move it to Motors if the OP wants, maybe after you've all voted? Might be educational.;)

Am I the only motorcyclist that refuses to use the ridiculous term "cager"?

mobile phone is way more dangerous if you ask me.
You said twice the legal limit. That's two pints right?
Chatting on a mobile is definitely more dangerous than driving after two pints.

Texting is a whole other ball game.... that and changing music on an ipod.... crazy to attempt while driving unless your pretty much stopped in traffic.

You're not paranoid, they really are all trying to kill you...

Your poll is ill-conceived - a diesel spill on the exit of a wet roundabout will get you before some twonk texting his biotch does; I have yet to let another motorist get close enough to do me harm. Ride like your life depends on it.

I'd be more worried about gob****es on the phone than drink drivers, just because of how many I see on the phone. I was nearly hit by a mini bus driver talking on one there about 3 weeks back, was on the way home and was about 75 meters or so from the house so was going slow when the nutter comes flying round the corner in the middle of the road. It was obvious he was going too fast, if I had of just braked and hoped for the best he would have hit me without a doubt.

There was literally no tarmac on my side for me to drive on so had to go onto the side and hope I didn't come off. I literally had a bike width between the side of the bus and a wall, ****er continued on without even slowing down, if it had been someone who didn't know the spot it would have been a serious accident but luckily its so close to me that I knew I could scrape through.

Becuse I drive a motorbike ! and I like to read here and not the car section.

The reason I asked was because I had almost got driven completely off the road by a woman in a Black BMW , who thought it would be fine to dial away whilst pulling out onto a busy road.
She didnt even know what she had done , just blindly driving off in total ignorance. I re-joined the road behind her , and she's still on the mobile.
I just thought at that point that i would like to post this poll.

p.s. - I dont actually like the word "cager" either ! but used it just for convenience , as a biker is hardly likely to be on his phone whilst driving. Of course thats debatable too!

And.... I think it is way more likely to get Knocked down by a phone user than to slip on diesal at a roundabout !

Thanks !

No, its a stupid term.

Anyway its easy for us to ID the phone user at a glance but how do we ID someone who's over the limit? Since we can't, how do we make an educated poll?
