NSW Opposition spokesman on road safety, *WHAT*!?
http://www.smh.com.au/news/national...4009167355.html
"While we need to be mindful of safety for cyclists, these bicycle zones at lights are dangerous," Mr Fraser said. "You are inviting all cyclists to wait in the middle of the road rather than on the side of the road where drivers expect them to be. It is putting them directly into the path of traffic." You mean the opposition spokesman for road safety has no idea about road safety? Let's hope they remain in the opposition for the foreseeable future. Mind you, the opposition don't have a monopoly on WTF moments regarding the complete lack of common sense: http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2008...4009162186.html -- TimC Ah, so many of life's little problems can be solved by head vaporisation. -- Zixia in ARK |

I'd always wondered what those boxes were for, after seeing so many motorists in Melbourne parking over a picture of a bicycle at the red lights I thought they were specially provided aggression relief spots that let motorists pretend to run over cyclists without actually doing it. My favourite "forward bicycle box" moment http://ajft.org/2002/05/30/ > "You are inviting all cyclists to wait in the middle of the road > rather than on the side of the road where drivers expect them to > be.
