We need all cycling bodies to come together to have a joint and co-ordinated campaign to change public opinion regarding driving behaviour and attitudes.



Hallelujah to this, but there needs to be political will. Government needs to make the CJS work properly at all levels for cyclists instead of it routinely failing us as it does now. Click to expand...

Speak for yourself when you drive …… I would certainly never ever drive my car at some one. If I felt that threatened I would drive off. No way would I try and run some one over! In any case in the car I always put the central locking on as soon as I have got in and all the doors are closed. But we are not talking about minor driving indiscretions we are discussing some one who thinks it's acceptable to drive at speed at another road user and a very vulnerable road user at that who should be given a lot of space and care as they are passed.[\quote] I am not sure who suggested you drive your car deliberately at anyone. I certainly did not. Already we have an exaple of why the sort of campaign I suggest will struggle, namely because many people are not prepared to face up to the fact they are less than perfect.why do you think we need a public campaign, it is to change attitudes of everyone. The example I gave us of the anti racism campaign was exactly this, it changed public opinion leading to changes in political attitudes.
