An ex-UKIP councillor in our local rag is claiming that "over 90% of accidents involving cars and
cyclists are caused by the cyclist failing to observe common sense".
As a result he does not want tougher actions on motorists but rather to see cyclists subject to more
prosecutions.
Can anyone point me towards any correct figures?
Additionally he quotes "a town" (unnamed) with off-road cycle routes where "cyclists who hit
cyclists that needed hospital treatment was almost 500 in one year".
Any guesses, or again pointers?
He claims "the Government has neglected enforcement of the law regarding cyclists in its paranoic
drive to get us out of our cars". so you can see where he is coming from.
He also claims to be a cyclist!
Naturally this type of letter needs response, particularly as it is the main featured letter
in the rag.
Can anyone supply me with some websites with some accurate figures to quote back at this pr*t?
