Reported in "The Week" magazine...
after a police campaign in London to catch rogue cyclists netted twice as many motorists.
The drivers were typically caught stopping in space designated for cyclists or using their mobiles at the wheel.
Also from same mag....
Letters to the Guardian:
So it is proposed that cyclists should have bells fitted and use them to warn pedestrians.
On average, cyclists are responsible for two deaths per year and motorists are responsible for nine or ten per day.
The fine for driving while using a mobile phone is £60 and the fine proposed for consistently not using a bell is £2500 or even prison. Am I alone in thinking our legislators have completely lost the road safety plot?
