Last Sunday a driver went through a red while I had a pedestrian green. Incident was witnessed by a policeman in a police car who did absolutely nothing about it. Shall I make an unhelpful sweeping generalisation about the police?

Great - could I urge to you use your position and influence to back safer roads and protect the more vulnerable road users? There will always be fools that break the law and that is a fact of life. Thanks

I understand your point. On the other hand, most people who start cycling in London end up stopping again because the terrifying incidents of bad or careless driving are too frequent.

Which must also be tackled

Research shows that harm is overwhelmingly caused by people driving vehicles. If, for every complaint about people riding bikes, you tweet another 100 about the infractions of drivers, it still would be proportionate. Don’t you care about death and injury cause by vehicles?

I was responding to your pinned tweet. It implies equallity of responsibility and perpetuates the imbalance and unwarranted favour vehicles get in debates on road safety.

So delete the original tweet that is still being widely shared by haters, otherwise your words mean nothing :-(

Please stop apologising for your views, always courteously expressed (and generally sensible)

I made up some images from the raw data last year, to help with discussions like this. They show injuries (white/yellow) and deaths (red). The data does not record who was at fault. All incidents problematic, but some problems are much bigger than others.https://robertweetman.wordpress.com/2017/09/29/a-year-of-death-and-injury-2016/ …
