Default Crashes involving bikes mostly driver’s fault

More than two thirds of all crashes between drivers and cyclists in
Central London are the fault of the motorist, research indicates.

The City of Westminster Council found that drivers were to blame for 68
per cent of collisions between cyclists and motor vehicles in the
borough in the past 12 months. It found that cyclists were at fault for
only 20 per cent. In the remaining 12 per cent of cases, no cause could
be found or both parties were to blame.

Three quarters of parents think they’d fail their driving test if they
had to take it again.

Magic, of course.

Or by asking cyclists.

One or the other.
