can you explain why none of my family have never had a near miss with
a car on the footway, but have had many with cyclists?


Can you explain why pedestrians are far more likely to be injured by
motorists than cyclists ?


Here is a word you missed *footway*

er - answer - they are not.

The vast majority of incidents involving a motor vehicle and a
pedestrian will be reported to the police and will contribute to the
statistics.

The vast majority of incidents involving a bike and a pedestrian will
not be reported to the police and will not contribute to the
statistics.

I am surprised you can't see that.

brings them into conflict with pedestrians. This conflict has been
known to cause injury and even, in very rare cases, death. (Guy
