Well given the vastly increased danger that motorists pose it is just as well they don't habitually drive on pavements but they do crash there quite often, with disasterous and often fatal results. -- .

So at last you agree that cyclists deliberately ride on pavements, while the vast majority of motorist do not deliberately drive on pavements. Oh, and given the yearly mileage of motorists, they do not crash on the pavement quite often. |

Rumour has it that the police in Witney (the constituency of our dear leader David Cameron) do indeed turn a blind eye to pavement cyclists for this very reason. Statistically it's explicable - some stats suggest that cyclists in traffic are more likely to be seriously injured by a car than pedestrians on the pavement are to be by a cyclist - so for any given cyclist, you *could* argue that there's less chance of a serious accident if they're on a pavement. And if Dame Rumour is not merely lifting her skirts for anyone, that seems to be the conclusion the local law-and-order-emphasis-on-the-order chaps have reached. But in terms of the sort of society I want to live in, I'd rather drivers be made to accommodate all road users, and cyclists feel safe enough to stay off pavements, so that the statistics tip in favour of off-pavement cycling, rather than cyclists to be gradually compelled by cultural and social pressure onto the pavements, to just pander to existing driver selfishness. Still, while I never pavement-cycle, I look at some of the driver behaviour in Witney and I understand some of the fear and reaction to vitriolic, red-faced hostility that prompts some people to do it. (And I see cars on pavements all the time, dozens of them every commute. It's like Car Abandonment Central round here. Maybe they got there without driving, by somehow dropping from space, but I can't help but feel that that would be *more* dangerous without everyone being issued with sort of special reinforced umbrella.)

How many motorists leave their house drive on the pavement for most of the journey until they reach their destination? |
