Peds have priority on a
Peds have priority on a shared path and they can use any part of it whereas bikes have to stick to their bit and give way to peds when on it.
Cars and bikes use the same bit of road with about equal priority (slightly more to the cyclist) and (relatively speaking) users follow the rules and know what to do.
Shared paths are more of a free for all with very unequal priority. And there’re dogs…
Also all the inherent issues of driveways where might is right.

The sort of standard I am beginning to expect from essex police.
Glad the lad is fairly ok though.
As Rendel says I don’t see any way to appeal this so it’s now down to your appetite for attritional work (maybe wtjs can help out !!)
Essex are supposed to have vision zero but this is another example of where they are not backing up their vision with action. Seems to me with an 11 year old and the crass comments from the traffic collision investigator you have all the ingredients to shame them and maybe get them to take more action. All depends how much time and emotional energy you feel you can put into raising complaints and getting media interest.

I like gadgets but I’m not sure how useful this is. Is it mainly for long rides where there are fewer cars and overtakes?March 4, 2022 at 2:15 pm in reply to: Have drivers got more aggressive since the Highway Code changes? #989519Hirsute

Just read that a local car park has increased the size of the bays to accommodate larger vehicles. Seems the wrong solution to me.
Why do we need such big vehicles?

I find more drivers are waiting and not overtaking and overtakes are also better.
The alleged rear ending at junctions has not materialised.
