What do you expect, it's a pro-car site. Legislation to protect cyclists or give them the same status as other road users is unlikely to happen in the UK where the car is king and provides a hell of a lot on tax revenue. Yes in theory bikes have the same rights as cars but whenhave those rights every been defended in the courts of law ?

I didn't bother leaving a comment, as plenty like me (car driver, motorcycle and bicycle rider) are already being completely ignored, as it does not suit someones preduduce to acept that most cyclists Do have liscences and DO pay VED (road tax :evil: ).
