Cyclists stay back! stickers

Disagree because, in getting one rider to behave more safely, the stickers will have painted cyclists as irresponsible and dangerous to thousands. This may cause some drivers to act aggressively towards cyclists.

Anti-cyclism is rampant; it should not be fuelled!

So you think that these stickers are more likely to lead to more deaths of cyclists than lives saved?

I suppose that might be true but I personally disagree. Interesting that that view is held by some though. Fair enough.

These seem to be two untestable conjectures and we are arguing about how many cyclists can dance on the head of a pin. Of course we could institute a RCT (Randomisrd, Controlled Trial) across some HGV companies or different areas of operation. With different messages etc. But hey, investing that kind of money is the purview of medical research, not road traffic death research.
