Road rage survival guide for cyclists
A print-out-and-keep guide for cyclists on how to deal with abuse from motorists suggests forgoing verbal or physical retaliation in favour of psychological warfare.
According to the guide by systemcomic.com :
When people are confronted they greet it with aggression, but when you meet it with the unexpected, they are forced to think. Which is the meanest (and nicest) thing you can do. Because it sticks with them all day.
Who shouts most?
A poll of British motorists by cycle insurers, ETA in 2009 found that drivers in Scotland were the least stressed and least inclined to shout at other motorists, but the most likely to become involved in a physical altercation. The most stressed drivers in Britain are those in the Midlands and Wales.
Cycle insurance from 33p per week
Every cycle insurance policy from the ETA includes new-for-old replacement if your bike is stolen, cover for accidental damage (race events included), third party insurance (in the case of an accident you may need to seek compensation or even deal with a claim by someone else), personal accident cover and if you breakdown, we will even come out and recover you and your bike. From 33p per week.
