  • 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!

  • Do let us know if you gain traction!

    @MCamb Im not blaming the victim but I am aware that generally its best to be prepared for "well what can you do too" as the first response. Be Teflon, as they say.

  • yeah I get you.

    I would treat them as two separate campaigns.

    1- to raise awareness for drivers and passengers about the danger opening a door without looking can cause (and legal responsibility of the driver).

    2- raise awareness for cyclists, ride defensively when possible with a strong primary position, to protect yourself as much as you can - also be aware when you're putting yourself in danger and adjust your speed accordingly.

    conflating the two is what I have issue with i think.
