This cycle racing on the road is super safe, isn't it?

Simple really -- Simon Mason - who cycles at 25mph in 20mph limits just because the limits do not apply to cyclists. This includes exceeding the speed limit past three schools. A total disregard for the well-being of vulnerable road users. The actions of a true psycholist. |

Like you, I am surprised to learn that the British Grand Prix (whatever it is - I certainly couldn't care less), rugby matches, show-jumping, skiing (!!!), boxing, judo or karate take place on public roads. However, the course over which the Grand National is run is bisected by a well-used public road - Melling Road in Aintree, which, as the name implies, is the main route to Melling (from Liverpool). For the horse race, the road is closed and the course is extended from one part of the enclosed land to the other, by means of gates maintained for the purpose and large quantities of sand spread across the relevant parts of Melling Road's carriageway. The closure has to be ordered by the relevant authorities, of course. The London Marathon - as I understand it - is run more or less exclusively on the public highway, save and except for any part running through a Royal park or along pedestrianised areas, though even they are technically part of the highway. ALthough the IoM TT takes place, of course, on public roads, it does not take place in the United Kingdom and Parliament would have to be a lot more energetic than usual in order to be able to influence it. I have no idea why the antepenultimate poster felt the need to capitalise the words "rugby", "show", "jumping", "skiiing" [sic], "boxing", "judo" and "karate". My information is that spurious capitalisation is often used (in green ink) in "letters to the Queen" or "letters to the prime minister". http://www.rfu.com/abouttherfu |
