Did you read that before writing your comment?

ksi reporting methods regarding severity have changed, so comparison
with previous years figures is impossible.

Killed is down 4 percent

5 deaths per billion miles travelled by motor traffic

total casualties are down 5 per cent.

motor traffic is up one percent.

How many "another ones" have been killed by drivers in the months since
the last one?

It must be very disappointing for you when there is no suggestion of law
breaking or lack of care.

Completely irrelevant to pedestrians.

Increased traffic and reduced casualties have gone together for nearly
50 years.

Did you read the actual death figures; how many of them did you post a
report on to the motoring NG?

I do not post anything to motoring groups.

This is actually a cycling group.

I see that per billion miles travelled cyclists kill 5 times as many
pedestrians as motor traffic does.

Statistics tell a lot of things.

Why do you not link all these press reports on motoring groups?

It used to be. Go away.

No, it merely tells us that you can do long division on a calculator.

Have you ever heard of the expression GIGO?

I don't beleive you've ever once posted anything nice about cycling or
cyclists. "Mr Cheerful".

Happy days. Mr "Cheerful" doesn't seemed to have changed a bit.

Is that a requirement?
Is it in the charter that Simon holds onto in his pit of darkness?

If someone else posts to multiple groups then my reply may well go to
groups I don't use.

Possibility he can't find anything nice about cyclists.
I certainly can't.

it is odd, but does kmj ever post anything other than responses?

You would think that this cycling group would have at least some
original posts from kmj.

Nope. He is not very bright. Years ago he did post to the driving group
about his driving lessons and the instructor having to grab the wheel and
things. I remember his postings. He does not like me because of his shame.
He lives on one of the Channel Islands and is a bit of a dick.

That would be entertaining and could be fun.
Bod sometimes posts shit here, he is mostly ignored.
