  • How about an "enforce the road laws that are supposed to be enforced in the first place" zone? Then once we no longer see amber gambling, speeding, driving while using mobiles, careless driving, dangerous driving, driving non-legal cars and lorries, driving without insurance, etc etc, we can see if we also need additional legal controls on cyclists.

    There are c30 deaths a week on UK roads and very few are cyclists. Focussing on cyclist behaviour might have some improvement on the cyclist death rate but it won't do anything for the overall death rate. Focusing on driver behavior would help everyone.

    repped. if it were economically/practically viable* to have shitloads of police going about arresting everyone they saw committing a crime on the roads there would be a lot less deaths of pedestrians/cyclists/drivers. If we also compelled HGVs to have side and rear cameras eliminating all blindspots, then it would be almost job done.

    *sadly it's not
