I agree 1000%. I seen a driver turn white and feel ill (visibly shaken) after it's been explained to them that they came within inches of causing GBH or death. The one ton shield is a mixed blessing. I only wish that drivers could experience what I can see and hear when I ride my bike. It's such a superior sensory experience as to not compare. How can I blow that residential stop sign? I can hear the car a block away, yes that one around the corner behind that hedge over there. *waits 5 seconds* see....that one.
