Clarkson's highway code on cyclists: "Trespassers in the motorcars domain, they do not pay road tax and therefore have no right to be on the road, some of them even believe they are going fast enough to not be an obstruction. Run them down to prove them wrong."

    Just how old is Clarkson? The road tax he's talking about was abolished in 1937. Every taxpayer pays for the roads now, and has for some time.

    Motorists take risks with a cyclist's life that they would not have the guts to be on the receiving end of. They think that they can take a chance of hitting a cyclist and if the bet doesn't come off, well, they won't feel it. Hunt them down and firebomb their home. That will show them there can be repercussions.
