  • I would never petition not to have motorbikes in the bus lane. Whats the point in upsetting our fellow road users. Motorcyclists are pretty courteous I find

    Mike, this is not 'anti-motorcyclist'. It's mostly about not making transport policy without evidence, which is basically a big no-no. The outcome of the first trial has shown increases in collisions.

    Before the trial, lots of people were claiming that there was no doubt that it would be safer.

    Traffic and transportation aren't rocket science, but you do have to put some work into making sure you're on the right track. This was not done with the London trial(s).
