Cyclists are persons too. I expect you meant pedestrian.

I've said it before but there are 3 things that need to happen

1. European-style stricter liability law. The respect drivers give motorcycles and cycles over there is amazing compared with Britain. Last year Paris of all places had not one single cyclist death.
   
2. The abolition of the various 'causing death by xxx driving' laws, which place so much burden on the prosecution to prove specific negligences by the driver that hardly any succeed in a conviction. Killing someone with a vehicle should lead to a manslaughter charge, and the law should be changed to facilitate that.
   
3. The LCC's line on lorries in the city centre should be stronger. It's all very well banging on about mirrors and talking to industry bodies, but they should be campaigning to have them banned from the roads completely during commuting hours. Lorries and bicycles cannot co-exist, so the lorries have to go.
   
   

I'd also like to see every complaint and charge against a driver being admissable evidence in deciding for how long to remove someone's licence. That would make the reporting of bad driving actually mean something.

Sorry, yes ped not person.

There seems to be many views but banning I don't rate, I believe in education and awareness. Also believe that someone can make a mistake and learn. We all make mistakes. Driving should be a privelidge not a right as many vehicle owners seem to think.
