Anyone care to hazard a submission on what class of vehicular
traffic most often ignores one-way working?

A psycholist told me that stories such as this only make the news
because of their extreme rarity, so the answer is NOT cars.

When was the last time you heard of a cyclist injuring three people
before crashing into a brick wall and a bus?


You are evading the question asked, how unusual.

But you had already answered the question, with, what I can only
assume, is something you can support with data.

Anyway, why should anyone want to equally compare breaking the law in
this way when it is considered a far greater crime to motor, rather
than cycle, the wrong way through a one-way system?

Can you let me know the statute that says that?

Your common sense should be enough for you to know that is true - why
bring up statutes? Would you expect the same penalty (punishment) for
breaking that law by cycling as you would for driving?

This sort of event, if extremely rare with motor vehicles, never
happens with cyclists.

Cyclists never ignore traffic signs and signals?

If you kill someone while on a bicycle, the law will treat you in exactly
the same way as if you were driving a car or lorry.

Motor vehicle.


Please Sir : my dad says that that is incorrect: can you try again: or perhaps
provide some evidence if you're sure that you are right. It would be bad form
for an (ex) teacher to be giving out duff gen.

They do, but a far, far lower percentage than motor vehicles.

But that was not my claim.

Perhaps it is because of teacher training (I must admit I am assuming that he
had some).

If you are asked a question, the answer to which would be embarrassing for you
- dodge the question and answer one which was not asked.

with the exception of points on the licence, yes.

Strange, because I see cyclists ignore traffic signs , signals and sense
every day. It is a real event to see a cyclist that is riding legally for
any distance. So it would seem that something over 99 per cent of cyclists
routinely break traffic regulations.
