Therefore it's cyclist car interactions that should be the subject of debate- collisions between which are ~70-90% the fault of the driver (various measurements, and that doesn't mean the 30-10% are the cyclists' fault either).</p> <p>Although highlighting that protecting people from bicycles can at most make roads ~0.5% safer is also a key message I guess. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19151#post-292351 Thu, 27 Sep 2018 15:51:21 +0000 chdot 292351@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="https://twitter.com/thejeremyvine/status/1044905617314467846?s=21" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/thejeremyvine/status/1044905617314467846?s=21</a> </p>
