And the "1.5 meter overtaking" originated Down South, so it's strange you don't get a good campaign up there.
The Facebook comments on any campaign as the usual "insurance and road tax" nonsense, but the PSNI in Belfast is actually really good on cycling.
They took my complaint serious and warned me when my rear light was not visible [i had one but it was hidden by something by accident] instead of just driving by and not giving a hoot.
The local cycling groups (bikefast) and the UK sustrans campaigns are talking a lot of the council/MLAs. So even though they get things wrong still, the grassroots input from cyclists seems to work well. Dunno how much of a say / ear they get in Dublin.
Also, taxi drivers = plague, though the Belfast ones have wisened up a lot. Now BMW/audi/chelsea tractor drivers are still reliable close passers ;)
Much better than south of the border.
In Dublin we get: cyclists light up!
Nothing about driving legally which would be nice given how cuntish the cab drivers are.
