But we are told it would be suicide for UK cyclists.
There is a culture in the rest of Europe and USA completely missing in
Britain. To give way when turning. British authorities don't help to do
anything to change this when they have been setting vehicle/pedestrian
phases on traffic lights incorrectly and painting give way lines on
residential roads in the wrong place for several decades.
Also, in other places, if a collision between motor and cycle takes
place in a cycle lane, the driver is bound to be at fault. Here the only
point of a cycle lane is to allow a bureaucrat to go home with a warm
fuzzy feeling after ticking a "sustainable transport" box.
