Matthew's Journal

I've been scared by cyclists whilst driving, but that's because I'm a nervous driver and when it occurred I was driving a van around central London, which is enough to induce a panic attack on its own, and crazy London cyclists whiz around me. The fear at the time was the fear of hurting them, I would be fine in the cab of the transit. It's not intimidation as there was no threat to myself.

I have suffered from far more intimidation and risk to my life from car drivers, both when cycling and when driving.

This whole thread is stargely reminiscent of the LJ wank when someone says "Isn't it terrible that so many women are raped and sexually assaulted" and is met by a chorus of "Not all men are rapists" and "Some men men are raped too".
