It's interesting how motorists incriminate themselves by claiming that
slow traffic, and specifically bicycle traffic, causes the danger. As a
motorist, I don't have a problem with slow traffic such as bicycles,
front loaders, stopped busses, cars and delivery vehicles. I think
incompetent motorists should just not drive.
