Luca Di Bon replied to ♫ Kylie's discussion ACTION REQUIRED - ABC News video on dooring in Melbourne"I don't understand what the problem is. According to this guy if I push my father-in-law in front of a moving train it's the trains fault that he's killed not mine. It's win - win people.
Seriously though it's obvious…"

Ride2Wk replied to Luca Di Bon's discussion A Matter of Perception"Ask them this - would they rather be hit by a bicycle breaking the rules or a 4WD breaking the rules?
They should wish that all rule breakers rode bicycles & NOT drive a car because it's only the car drivers that will kill them &…"
Ride2Wk replied to Luca Di Bon's discussion A Matter of Perception"Rego argument - it's just an ignorant excuse and urban myth.
