Of course you steer your (very) light armoured vehicle with bicycle handlebars!  :rolleyes:  ;D

It would be funny if it had a bicycle ringer!

You have to let the other traffic know you're coming, that's just common courtesy. ;)

I use mine. "ping ping".  Scares the heck out of some of the dog walkers I can tell you.
For cars which have just tried to run me down I find shouting abuse and a hand signal has a better result.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

The one I have on my Land Rover Moulton would make that one in the pic look like a pin-head.  ;D

 In the UK, it is no longer mandatory to have a bell on a bicycle.  It d***ed well ought to be , but it's  not currently a legal requirement. Bikes at the point of sale MUST be fitted with bells, but there is no law saying they must remain fitted to bicycles.

Somewhat deviating from the subject, a chap I was at school with fitted an electrically powered railway engine klaxon in the boot of his Morris Minor.  Being persons of imagination, I'm sure you can visualise  the consternation this could produce when sounded in a busy street.

Something almost exactly the same occurred in the Movie "Goodbye, Pork Pie"; except there it was a Mini. :thumbsup:
