In wikipedia : The acronym SMIDSY, short for “sorry mate, I didn’t see you”, is used by British and Australian motorcyclists and cyclists to describe collisions in which a car driver fails to perceive a two-wheel user (see motorcycle safety).

  • Do the test

  • Police unaware of accidents .

    I called the police to make a declaration about the traffic accident in which my velomobile was damaged.

So I asked her where the statistics for dangerous traffic-situations were based on, if nothing is reported in situations like…

  • birtday present

    My Better Half gave me something to read on my 53-th birthday. John was on the top of his “songwriting-career” , when I was reaching puberty. So he influenced me in the way I grew up. In those days everybody sang his songs about peace-not-war. Even the rich and bad guys who would fight many…
