over half of car/cycle accidents are the cyclist's fault
DfT statistics reveal that the biggest single contributory factor on the
part of the bicycle in accidents involving bicycles is the cyclist failing to look properly (25%, in accidents involving a bike), followed by failing to judge the other person's path or speed (10%), the cyclist entering the road from the pavement (8%), and careless or reckless behaviour (8%). Total 51 per cent, so if cyclists improved their own use of the roads the KSI rate would be halved at a stroke. http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandsty...ise-recessions |

You are either stupid or a liar. Probably both. See the source for the article:- http://assets.dft.gov.uk/statistics/...cgb2010-04.pdf Look at the source of your misquoted figures, Table RAS50005. It is not about car/cycle accidents. It is called "Table RAS50005: Contributory factors reported for vehicles in reported accidents by vehicle type: GB 2010" |

more than two thirds of car/cycle crashes are the motorist's fault.

"...When a cyclist over 25 sustained serious injuries, the motorist was entirely at fault in between 64% and 70% of the time, with the cyclist at fault in between 23% and 27% of incidents (p33). In cases when a cyclist over 25 died in a crash, the motorist was deemed entirely at fault in between 48% and 66% of incidents (p33), and the cyclist in 33% to 43% (p33)..." http://lcc.org.uk/articles/addison-l...by-bad-driving -- . A driving licence is sometimes a licence to kill. |
