  • the law bit is more aimed at the team in charge who receive the letter/email, I'm not expecting that to be passed on to the pupils.

    as it's a large secondary school (approx 1600 pupils) I'm not sure they have whole school assemblies, but I would imagine they do have screens in all of the form rooms.

  • They will have key stage assemblies, 7-9, 10-12(maybe just 11)
    Although, my high school has weire tiered form groups. A handfuk if kids from every year including upper sixth. Proper weird.

    You miss my point about including THE LAW!!! Its kinda sledgehammer to a nut.
    They arent breaking that law, one could argue that law implies intent. Very accusatory imo.

    I wish you the best of luck, but really nothing has happened to you, certainly none of the kids and you may just be pissing in the wind. Maybe knock a few kids off first? As others have said, you could just ride a bit further away and the reply from the school will probably be likewise.

    Quick footnote, Im not against you but a Devils Advocate is always helpful

    Although good practice, its not always possible is it. Especially on narrow / busy roads. Bit of a flippant suggestion and is pushing the responsibility to the victim, in the case of a dooring imo.

    There's no intent in the law, it's a straightforward don't do it.

  • no probs, cheers for the input!
    yes, i agree with your comment. i actually did remove 'the law' bit before i sent it out - as you pointed out it did feel a bit ott, and i didn't want the letter to sound like i was accusing anyone of anything.

    i'm fully aware it'll most likely have no impact whatsoever - but no harm in trying!

    @MCamb maybe I'm reading this differently to you but I don't think @.mo. is pushing blame onto the op for being in the zone, rather advising that the best way of avoiding getting doored is to ride defensively and I don't think they should be called out for saying this.
