Strangely enough it is this exact characteristic of unpredictability of cagers 
(and many motorcyclists) that engenders teh above attitude in cyclistts in teh 
first place. To hell woth the law. On a pushbike on the same roads as other 
vehicles, all of which are bigger, faster and less squashy, the ONLY law is 
survival.

As Craig said. I actually >prefer< it if they dont see me. That way you know 
what theyre going to do. Wheter other folk can avoid accidents is not 
important, It's hard enough to avoid accidents on a cycle without concerning 
yourself about whether other folk can. You worry about yourself. Let the other 
folk worry about themselves. After all, they are nicely armoured for it.
