Just a new thought for me, probs been discussed to death already (not seen tho)
Would there be any mileage in org's such as LCC / CTC lobbying for Cyclists only to be able to claim damages in the event of an accident, if they could prove they'd completed L3 training?
So basic premise would be, no training = cycle at own risk, training to L3 = cycle with some level of recompense based on competence.
Prompted by discussion on another forum - Male Triathlete reports car door collision whilst left filtering in traffic - passenger got out without looking (fully at fault therefore), a helpful lawyer has chipped into say blame = claim, following my posts suggesting some training to improve awareness & safety in traffic... I'd bet one of my hats that they pursue the claim route rather than seek training. I'd prefer they got training due to having no right to claim if not trained.
Strawman, tear it apart....
