• I think you will find that, if you listen to the debate on this issue, as I have, there are an awful lot of people that rush to blame the cyclist, particularly when it's a dead cyclist.

    And you will also find that things like this will be used by insurance companies to reduce compensation paid out to victims, if the insurance company is able to show contributory negligence.

    Whilst we are having this debate, TfL is planning to give the local councils more money to spend on painting lines down the left-hand side of the road in London. This will be far more effective in influencing rider behaviour than anything we do.

    You're absolutely right Bill, but I still think that if fewer cyclists nipped up the left at lights or wherever then there would be fewer deaths/injuries and hence fewer compensation claims.

    I'm by no means doubting your authority on this subject or your passion for it.
