I don't want to be a dick but I am one at the best of times and I'm drunk right now so..... the carrot and stick thing, it doesn't mean give a carrot OR beat with a stick, it means a carrot attached to a stick to encourage the mule or whatever the fuck to follow it. It's a common fallacy often use in the press by lazy journalists that can't be arsed to work out what expressions mean ;) ;) ;) ;)

While I think driver education is important and all drivers should learn much more about sharing the road with cyclist, in this case the driver, who probably doesn't want to be there likely won't really learn much, prosecution, points and fines will perhaps be more effective. We let drivers get away with risky driving in our society so sticks rather than carrots in this case... Prosecute !
