| "I would think the "very high casualty rate" (of minor and serious incidents) would be vastly reduced if cyclists stopped at traffic lights instead of riding through when they are on red. I see it happen day after day. My estimate of a 75% failure to stop rate wouldn't be too far out." The victim was killed by an HGV driver who couldn't see. Please don't lie about actual collisions. Jumping reds had nothing to do with the collisions, it features in less than 2% of cyclist injuries and of course in London a cyclist can obey a red light and get killed by an HGV driver who didn't look or indicate in a faulty truck and face no charges. This is perhaps the most grubby, sleazy aspect of the opponents of safe cycle lanes. They lie about dead people to try to blame them. |
