Cyclist killed in north Norfolk

[spen666]

if drivers were paying attention and driving competently, there would be no situations where 'an unlit black object' would suddenly appear, or at least none where being highly visible would have helped - i.e. car speeding round a blind bend etc.
Unfortunately, we all know that a lot of drivers are useless and very dangerous, so wearing hi-viz certainly helps.
The government clearly needs to do much much more to improve conditions for cyclists, and drivers should be given clear advice in how to 'deal' with cyclists on the road when they take their driving lessons/test. Also, the general public need educating about how roads are funded and the role of so called 'road tax' which is actually vehicle tax!

and of course there is no role for cyclists to play in helping keep themselves safe.

After all its everyone elses fault and cyclists can rely on this to keep themselves safe


Rather than criticise everyone else and refuse to accept we can do anything to help ourselves, we should be looking to protect ourselves in the first instance.

We can do a lot to protect ourselves - this is far more effective than telling others to change

It would be appreciated if people kept safety debates out of RIP / condolences threads
