Emma - your approach of lumping all road users into the same category of people who should take more care ignores who is actually responsible for killing and injuring the vast majority of people on the roads. This is car drivers, followed by buses/vans/HGVs followed by motorcycles with cyclists a long, long way behind. This is simple physics. If you mess up driving a large lump of metal you are going to do a lot more damage than if you are on a bike. A marginal improvement in cyclists' behaviour will produce a tiny reduction in casualties because there just aren't than many to start with while a marginal improvement in car driving standards will save hundreds. |
