• My 2p - I don't believe that prosecutions are the way forward, I think that driver education is a better option. I think that most people who have cycled on our roads (or driven a motorcycle) have the ability to be considerate for cyclists - those who haven't do not have that consideration.

    Prosecution does have a use - for those drivers who deliberately use their vehicles as weapons or those whose driving is ridiculously poor.

  • Behavioural change tends to need both education and legal sanction. Otherwise drink driving and seatbelt behaviour would not have changed.

  • Drink driving and seat belts seem to worked. Mobile phone usage ... not so. I always amazed by the number of people on their phones in potentially dangerous places - around schools at leaving time being the best case.
    Not so sure education is working in this case, penalties are rising too.
