That's the be all and end all of it and if you can't see the validity of that argument then it's not me who is blind or dim.

So pedestrians who regularly have to jump out of the way of lawbreaking cyclists, pedestrians who who are regularly hit by lawbreaking cyclists, drivers who find their cars vandalised by lawbreaking cyclists, can go suck it up.

They had removed the clamp, but had left the stickers.

Children or annoying passers-by love to write “Clean Me” onto a dirty car. Little do they know however, that their fingertip graffiti can cause lasting damage to a vehicle’s paintwork. How? Fingerprints grind dirt and debris into the paint, leaving a lasting blemish that can be very difficult to remove.
