APoL, it is of course your right to divulge (or not) whatever you want, but your e-penis argument simply doesn't hold. Your reply to Feek's post implies more than 690,000 miles (do the maths if you care) which to me just counts as 'starship mileage' (somewhat apt in Feek's case).

By comparison, I've done a sum total of zero (nil, nada, or however you want to put it) miles of driving. Now while that does mean that I shouldn't (and wouldn't) try to comment on driving style, that doesn't invalidate my thoughts regarding the OP, or regarding speeding in general.

I don't object to speed where the conditions are appropriate - and your comment about judgement in that respect is certainly valid for a lot of drivers, but not all (and certainly not people like Will who are also experienced bike riders). Given those thoughts, you might be surprised to learn that I've personally been on the receiving end of two crashes - once as pillion on a bike, and once as a pedestrian. Both low speed in traffic, thankfully, otherwise at least in the last case I probably wouldn't be here.
