A better focus would have been to see if they are more or less likely to break the law than fellow road users. All you need to do is slip in a question for motorists about 20mph zones and you'll get a 95% law-breaking stat (which is the basis for my real annoyance at anyone saying 'cyclists don't think the rules of the road apply to them'). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14908#post-190011 Wed, 03 Jun 2015 14:22:19 +0000 chdot 190011@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"which, granted, some people do believe"</p> <p>Wonder if this survey will be able to prove otherwise - or provide 'justifications'. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14908#post-190010 Wed, 03 Jun 2015 14:18:24 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 190010@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Or, to rephrase the question, "Why do some <em>people</em> break the law?"</p> <p>The question suggests that in other aspects of life no-one breaks the law, or that cyclists are somehow unusually high in their law breaking (which, granted, some people do believe). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14908#post-190004 Wed, 03 Jun 2015 12:50:31 +0000 Stickman 190004@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://road.cc/content/news/153418-why-do-some-cyclists-break-law-us-academic-surveys-18000-people-find-out" rel="nofollow">http://road.cc/content/news/153418-why-do-some-cyclists-break-law-us-academic-surveys-18000-people-find-out</a></p> <p>Looks like the results of this study will confirm what we already know: crap infrastructure. </p>
