Er....nope! You say that SOME of the RTA's were 'not your fault'....you don't say that NONE of them were.
GOOD driving is about staying safe on the road...even if it means allowing other idiots extra space to avoid their accidents.

You clearly haven't spent ANY time on a motorcycle! Its not easy to replace an arm. I TOO have driven (and ridden) over all the counties, I also used to do advanced driving tuition, ran a driving school, and have driven a range of vehicles. I have no idea HOW many miles I have covered in my 40 years on the road. And I HAVE had accidents....ALL of them on bikes, when I was younger, and thought I knew how to ride! Fortunately, unlike you it seems, I realised that I WASN'T always right; that I could (and do) make mistakes, and so I leave bigger margins to allow for them...including a bigger margin of speed. THAT is what experience IS!
