| Nice one, Lady P, and good idea Ems. Serious point - if you're on a bike and someone's tailgating you in a car, you aren't going fast enough! I don't regard myself as a particularly quick rider (compared to some) but normally-driven cars don't stay with me, either through traffic or on the open road. I've only been tailgated at my "normal" speeds a couple of times, and each time it has been a BMW or some "sporty" car with a middle-aged man at the wheel, driving too close and obviously trying to give me grief (often because I have overtaken them quite properly a mile or so back). In such cases, my personal built-in danger meter goes into the red, as I know that a car going as fast as I am is being seriously thrashed, inches from my tail-light. I slow down, back off, let them through - it ain't worth the risk. Anyone using a mobile phone in any vehicle is dangerously distracted and should be hung, drawn and quartered. Twice if they are texting. And twice that if they are on two wheels. If they last that long.

some teenager got banned and fined in oxford for texting while riding a scooter while speeding!. They should give harsher fines. and make them permanently banned from 2 wheels. They know it's wrong, full stop.
The car in front, is now behind!
