the sad reality is that if all road users (that includes pedestrians crossing, especially as they are most vulnerable) obeyed the law,or in the case of peds the guidelines in the highway code) then the vast majority of these situations wouldn't happen.
Instead everyone acts like a selfish cunt and looks to "blame" afterwards.
Peds: look before you step out and cross safely
Cars: drive at the speed limit, don't use mobiles and obey traffic signals and road markings
Bikes: don't ride on the pavement and obey traffic signals
I think it really could be that simple.
yes, we are still in danger as cyclists, especially with the HGV-left turn scenario, but again how many of those accidents were caused by the driver failing to obey the law..
