There is a series of these videos. I really enjoy them. I'm very glad I don't often have to drive in London.

I enjoyed that liked the bit about the scooter rider all in black at night coming to a morgue near you soon.

I gave my riders some calling cards that read
ENJOY YOUR NEXT HEART ATTACK for abusive drives
And a second batch which had an inviation for a complimentry eye exam for clots who drove like the bikes were not there
With the instruction that when some idiot has a go at them or pulls out in front of them they are to come up on the passenges side & slip it words out under the wiper .

Nothing "Zen" about me  *smile*
I'm a nice, considerate, kind sort of bloke till I get cranky. Then the horn button lets you know. If that don't work the bull bar will  *whistle*
I drive/ride like everyone's out to kill me so it's survival of the fittest/meanest/smartest/quickest.

I tryed it yesterday on my way to the landfill,  it worked real well  ( even heard the guys voice while driving)
But on the way back i found myself swearing and mumbling to myself again, i think it needs to sink in a while.
