How about restoring the road policing budget so the existing road legislation can be enforced and including 100 hours of mandatory cycling as a condition of getting a driving licence back after a conviction for careless or dangerous driving? With electric bikes available, cycling is accessable to everyone. If drivers had more insight into what if feels like to be a vulnerable road user, most would become better & more considerate drivers.
How about anyone going to any of these events insist that completing bikability courses becomes mandatory for anyone taking a driving test (the only exemption being for the physically disabled)?
Now that I like! I'll be stealing it and hoping that you aren't coming to the Bristol one.
I might just coincidentally suggest the same at the Manchester session!
"We are looking for great ideas, for evidence of what works, for examples of good practice from other countries, for innovative technologies, for imaginative solutions, and for idealism tempered with a sense of the practical"
Those lies should be tattooed on the forehead of the prick who uttered them, the Daily Mail puppet who has only been moved to 'action' by headlines focusing on one pedestrian death (which wasn't even wholly attributable to the cyclist who hit her).
Off you fuck, Jessie.
Well, I've signed up for the Bristol event and perhaps I'm getting old and cynical, but I don't expect this to change anything. I've been to a lot of these government consultation events, and none of them actually achieved anything, just a lot of polite head nodding and agreement to take our views on board, but then nothing. Rather like our local SGlos cycle forum, it's just there to tick the consulation box.
Edit: I've just noticed that there will be a whole 2 1/2 hours to sort all this lot out:
How to improve safety through changes to road infrastructure
The law and rules of the road
Road user training and testing
Education
Vehicles and equipment
Attitudes, understanding and awareness of different road users
What will we do for the 2 hours 25 minutes left afterwards?
