Make cycle awareness a core part of the driving test

All the good practice goes out the window after the test? Rubbish; go to a country with a poor quality of driver education and you see a poor quality of driving! The UK has a rather well-developed driver education system, and one of the toughest tests, and consequently we have the lowest road deaths (per capita, per vehicle and per mile - doesn't matter how you measure it) of almost anywhere in the world.

I would say that most poor driver-cyclist interactions are down to the driver simply never being informed about how to interact around cyclists.

Fuck me.

What planet are you from? Trust me, from daily personal work experience our driver training industry across all categories for the most part consists of bunch of charlatans who train people up to the very low standard that will get you through a driving test (again, in any category)

There are a few exceptions to this rule, but trust me, I have never worked in a driving test centre anywhere in the UK that has more than a handful of instructors out of the raggedy bunch that present people for test that they would recommend to family or friends

The E petition is worth every signature it gets, but a few additional questions in the theory test question bank? hardly counts as driver development
