Vine was quoted in the Sunday papers saying he wants 'cars to pull over if they see me behind them because they know I'm faster' and suggested a ban on overtaking cyclists in major urban areas

Mr Wallis Simons suggests that there has already been an effort to"pound drivers into submission" and that they have become"public enemy number one".

"So let's make an amendment to the Highway Code, stipulating the following: no motorist is permitted to pull over to let Jeremy Vine pass. After all, the zealots don't represent the moderates.

"At the moment, they think: 'No way am I putting my life in the hands of some van driver who's been up until two in the morning taking drugs' or whatever. They just don't like the odds. At some point they'll realise the odds have shifted in their favour and they'll start cycling. "My wife has told me I'm not allowed to drive any more because I drive too slowly. This is a very unusual situation in a marriage. And the reason I drive so slowly is that I'm suddenly so aware of the danger of two tonnes of metal that will go at 60mph if I just touch my right foot.
